MAF air turbulance question?????

[balderman]

I have a Mac CAI and there is a bend right before the MAF. Has anyong ever heard of Air turbulance from the CAI affecting the MAF sensor?

I was looking into getting a TwEEcer to solve my Idleing issue and the guys at TwEEcer said it could be that.

Just curious.. never heard of that..

Any input would be helpfull..

Yes, that's a known problem. Either lose the CAI, or clock the MAF -- try putting the sensor itself on the outside of the radius of the turn the CAI makes.

Would that cause the Motor to Race? Thats the issue I am dealing with right now...

Yep, what happens is the curve makes the incoming air have different velocities at different areas within the pipe, by "clocking" the MAF you can find a "neutral" spot where the air won't confuse the MAF.

I never had any idleing issues with my MAC cold air intake. My car ran like a champ with it in there.

Correct me if im wrong but for the fenderwell CAI's isnt there one thats for those with a aftermarket MAF and those with the stock MAF. I dont know about the 94-95's but the 93's stock MAF is shorter than say a Bullit MAF

I am going to take the filter and bend off and run it to see what happens.. if that fixes my issue I will just removed the bend.. we'll see..
