Hey guy's i am located in whittier but can meet up with someone. I need to get my hand's on a short ram intake does not matter waht brand i have a stg4 wrx and its acting funny, i am allmost 100% its the intake i have the perrin bigmaf intake on the car for it right now. It was not tuned for that intake though. If some one can help me out i could treat you to lunch. Pm me if anyone has an extra laying around. Thanks Andrew

 

wHATS GOING ON WITH IT? iS IT JUST THAT YOUR FILTER IS CLOGGED OR DO YOU suspect that your MAF is failing? I may have an extra one at home. (714 area)

Well i am thinking it was tuned for a k&n style filter, now with the bigmaf intake perrin sayes it need to be tuned for that intake or you are going to have way to much air going in. My car stalls some times and i need to give it gas to get it to idle right. I looked for leaks and i seem not to be able to find any. My check engine light is on and its the code for runing lean.

 

hook up your stock box and see if it is running better that way. Dont even have to install the full box in. Just get your old box intake place the maf in position and see if your car starts and runs better. If it does then at that point you need a retune or get a different intake.

Well the problem is i have a fmic...... And i donot have the stock box anymore.

 

Get a retune or get the cobb intake. Its 185.oo in stock.

Darn i just orderd the blitz maybe i can sell it i am going to look at the cobb intake...You think i will need a retune.

 

Most likely your problem is a tuning problem. Depending on what air fuel ratio you are running, I would have to say that your maf is not reading the proper air flow going through your intake. Im guessing that some calibration will have to be made with the maf voltage.
Getting an intake with a better maf placement can correct this or a retune.

Thanks.

 

Ferdie is it the sf intake? Ifso i am thinking about going down right now.

 

Hey Ferdie i just got home with the intake, do i need to use the stock intake arm? and if not is it going to work with the perrin inlet hose? Thanks Andrew

 

It will work with the maf hose . It should be the same size od for the maf hose.
Ferdie

Darn Darn Darn lol Thanks for all the help i did the install a few hrs ago it fixed the pboblem. Its a nice intake set up. Thanks Alot guys for the help.

 

Well, if it makes you feel better.I do not think the blitz woul have fixed your problem.
