Will the race maf calibration even work for your DIY SRI CAI? Since it was specifically made for the PRL CAI design?**10/4/18 Update**
I apologize for the slow movement on this. Been working through a maintenance shutdown on my job and tomorrow will be my first day off in just over 3-4weeks (12-16hr days). So much for excuses!
Meanwhile, I did drop my car off at a shop yesterday to have a PTP turbo blanket installed and the maf sensor wiring extended. I literally just picked the car up and drove it home about 2 minutes ago. I'll take a pic of the wiring tomorrow but he said he extended it about 10ft or so since I asked him to add more than enough for what I needed.
Tomorrow morning, I have some exhaust work to be done on my RAV4. After that, I'll drive down to a warehouse to see if I can get a decent sized air filter for the new maf sensor placement. If so, I'll make a rough draft of the Myxal SRI-CAI and get some cardboard boxes and aluminum foil to start making my ghetto version 1.0.
Remember, this will be to test the Myxal SRI-CAI against the PRL CAI. Both will be utilizing the PRL Race maf and race maf calibration. I just checked the weather for tomorrow night at the track I'd like to go to (Cecil County Raceway) and the temp will be between 65-61F, which will be great. That's all for now. Need to get crackin' on this tomorrow on my 1st day off.
Only reason I ask is because even the TSP Stage 1 tune for my Race SI exhaust had inconsistent fuel trims that was provided and DRob offered to fix mine to the limit possible and said custom tuning will perfect it. Even Ktuner provides a race maf calibration for SI but is just a starting point.
Simple answer is, Yes, it will work. How well? Will see! No different than how the stock maf sensor diameter will work with the PRL CAI vs 27WON vs Injen, etc. Same pros/cons.
This is what will sit inside the box though. I'm simply attaching the box to the PRL Cobra CAI pipe that goes down into the foglight area. Easy peezy!
It must sound good! Any vids ? And link to buy the filter?Really simple setup. Quickly put it on today and drove around for a bit to get a feel for it. Nothing much to look at. Still need to make a box to wrap around it. Radiator fan blows underneath and around it. PRL Downpipe is not too far from it either but at least the turbo is wrapped. Felt around the filter after getting off highway and it didn't feel hot. I have an old school Ktuner (laptop) so haven't been seeing intake temps to compare to PRL but expect it to be warmer no doubt. Been extremely lazy and should've had this done months ago.
It did feel like I had to give it less throttle for the same power but that's expected so don't trust what I feel. Wanted to test tomorrow night at dragstrip but for the 3rd week in a row, it's forecasted to rain.
This is to eliminate all the extra piping and bends of the Cobra CAI, which should make some small gains as long as cool air gets to the filter.
