what lid to use with TSP 100mm MAF?

[xmarkx]

I'm in the process of buying parts for my build (very slow process.....). I've got a profesional products 96mm intake, jantzer 95mm TB and I'm looking at the TSP 100mm MAF. my question is, what lid/CIA will fit this MAF. I know FTP makes a lid but is that my only option? or is there some sort of reducer coupler to use other air filters?

Here's the one I used ! Got mine for 69.00 !!!

be warned that tuning for that maf will be a pain in the lower rpm tables ..frost explained it too me ...

"The card style LS3/7 MAFs are very noisy down low. In late model PCMs the filtering is designed around; it's not in our cars. They can be a real headache down low. If you go this route, it needs to be tuned by wideband but depending on how it's mounted, it could be kind of miserable. "

sounds like a SD tune is in order

I don't know what you mean by "wide band". are you talking about O2 sensors?

what is an SD tune?

yes a wideband O2 sensor ..oem is a narrow band.

what is an SD tune?

SD stands for speed density tune. it is a different way of parameters for the car...SD does not use the MAF and relyies on a array of other sensors to adjust the fueling etc.


i believe however you dont NEED a SD tune. I wouldnt get one until you have everything you need for the build. i would think a nice 85mm maf and a really good tune is all you need

if I have a 96mm intake and 95mm TB, isn't using a 85mm maf going to restrict the amount of air that those parts are capable of flowing? I also will be using P&P 243's, TRex, and 1.75" longtubes into 3" dual exhaust with no cats. I don't think 100 maf is overkill.. I could be wrong but I think if I can get it tuned just right, this set up should make good power. if an 85mm maf is better for my needs then I will go that route, I'm just not sure it is.

you are correct....in general anything in front of the intake mouth that is smaller will be a restriction...however most of these aftermarket TBs advertise the O.D instead of the I.D so you buy a 95mm and the I.D is 85mm or such..if you get a good tune with a 85mm or 75mm maf you will only gain 3-8rwhp on a new bigger mm maf. so if you want to spend 200-300 for 8rwhp then go for it.

Speed Density tune might not be a bad idea with that cam

I'm gonna double check that theory because when I got my TB I matched it up to my intake and the openings matched up almost perfect like they should. I'm going to get some calipers and measure the inside diameter.

[xmarkx]

calipers do not lie! TB is 95mm ID as advertised and intake is 96mm also as advertised. soooooo that being proven, I don't see how it makes sense to use a maf that is 10mm smaller. granted 10mm isn't that big of a difference BUT, if I am now going to go to the trouble of porting my stocker or paying for a brand new 85mm maf, why wouldn't I spend 100 or so more for a maf that at least in size comes closer to matching my other parts?
