Will the S/C run to lean with this intake? I know it will on others but I figured that since this is so short it shouldnt make a difference, am I right in this assumption or completly wrong? I also plan on getting an emanage blue in a bit here, should I just wait for the e-manage to put the intake on, im running a 9.5 pulley but not making over 7-8 psi at redline.

 

it will make u run lean...just not as much as a CAI would...unless this IS a CAI. But i would honestly recommend getting the Emanage, then the intake put on, and immediately get it tuned! Until i got mine tuned the first time with a similar setup...i was babying the hell out of the car because i was afraid to detonate the engine.

 

Is basically a MAF adapter with a cone on the other end, its not a full CAI nor is it a SRI, its kinda like a pop charger

 

I still don't get why a properly sized intake pipe with the maf located in the correct spot makes the s/c'ed tc run lean and a 9.5lb pulley with a stock intake doesn't.

 

^ agreed

 

It shouldn't be too bad. Umnitza intake doesn't give much in the way of gains anyway.

 

I just want the sound, thats the only reason I got it, LOL. Im tired of my car being so damn quiet

 

the pulley will make it run lean also...just nowhere as much as the CAI would

 

If the pipe is too big or too small before or after the maf it would mess with the sensor, but why would a properly sized intake pipe with the maf located in the correct spot and the oem pulley make the s/c'ed tc run lean? ...or will it?

 

it wont with the stock pulley, and a lot of cases it wont even on a 9.5 psi pulley if its properly setup...a lot of it is hearsay if you know what I mean

 

I have been running perfectly fine with my cai and 9.5 pulley, I would think that any sri would not work as well as a full cai a/f wise.

 

^^thats kinda what I figured... the ecu even with the trd tune is still adaptive, it's the improper pipe sizing that is messing with the maf sensor

^ thats good to hear. The voice of experience is where I'd put my money

Thanks for the feed back guys.

 

^ Yea agreed!

 

Superchargers r ghay kikcaffine...I thought we had already discussed this. nucka.... J/P lol....


you can later.... I'll see ya at KSU

 

here's a dyno proven example of how lean the car is with 9 lb pulley and CAI...the pink/very top line, is my first dyno run with that setup with no tuning yet...even worse at the top because i had the stock injectors at the time

 

So in that run you had the 9lb pulley, CAI and stock injectors?

 

Why didnt you have the TRD injectors?

 

^ correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he bought the kit used.

 

Oh, well the stock injectors would certainly explain why the car would be running lean......
