Home Made Short Ram Intake

[chrisliese]

I am attempting to make my own short ram intake.

First thing is the MAF sensor.

So I found that the 2016 turbo uses the same MAF as the 2012-15 Civic SI.

Now to find a MAF tube adapter.

Then a silicone hose.

UPDATE:

Ok I got it all figured out now.

Starting from the turbo side out to the filter - Need a 2 3/8 to 3inch reducer silcone coupler $8.00 - then the 3" od x 18 to 21" long 45 degree pipe $27.00 (i am using innercooling pipe) , 3" silcone coupler $5 - 3" MAF Adapter $56- 3"filter $30 = $126.00

All from Ebay

pipe
MAF adapter - fits I checked it all out.
2 3/8 to 3" coupler
3" coupler
Pick your own 3" filter

I tried this last night. I have already had the intake resonator removed so the rest should be easy. I have a Spectre intake filter, and I had a MAF sensor tube adapter but unfortunately it does not have the right bolt pattern for the sensor. I am on the lookout for one now.

The only option I found so far is to get a pipe and weld a BLACKWORKS BILLET MAF SENSOR ADAPTER BWR 2012-2013 HONDA CIVIC SI FG4 POLISHED.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION: THE MAF SENSOR FOR A 2012-2015 IS THE SAME AS THE 2016 CIVIC. THE 2006-2011 IS NOT THE SAME PART NUMBER, BUT LOOKING AT DETAILED PHOTOS, THE SIZE, BOLT PATTERN AND LENGTH ARE IDENTICAL. SEEMS TO ME THE DIFFERNECE IN THE TWO MAF SENSORS IS INTERNAL. THERFORE I AM GOING TO TRY USING THIS PART, OR THIS ONE

Is the Injen $213 intake out of reach?

Let me know how it goes, I think I will do this as well. I almost purchased the Injen intake but I already have everything other than the MAF sensor adapter laying around my garage so it would actually be worth making my own and getting the same gains for a fraction of the price.

I know this is 3 months old, but any updates? From what you said the placement of the MAF would not be in the stock location, correct? I would not recommend this if true.

I purchased the MAF adaptor you linked and will connect it to the stock accordion tubing then either to just angled filter or use a (20-45 degree) elbow to have the filter sit inside the bottom half of the oem filter-box. This will keep the stock MAF location and original air venting intact. I haven't measure the ID of the OEM MAF; I just hope it's the same or very close.

Got the MAF.. If there was way to do MAF cal, some sort of tuning or easy way to monitor; I would install it.. but it's quite a bit larger and will most likely throw things off a bit much.

The problem with the DIY home intakes is that there is far more to intake design than just slapping a air filter on the end of some tubing. When we're designing intakes here at the shop, we're changing pipe ID size and also the height of the MAF pad itself, just to tune the fuel trims while optimizing power output. I haven't even touched on our patented air fusion design to help the tuning process as well. Honestly, you can throw a DIY intake or a cheap Ebay intake in your car and lose significant power or even pop your engine from a lean condition. Sometimes that extra $100 spent is well worth the development time that went into a professionally made intake system.
