red run- AEM SRI, skunk2 70mm exhaust

blue run- AEM SRI, DCRH, DC exhaust, hondata img, hondata reflash

this is why i'm concerned about my afr. the DIY X intake may produce great power, however it may not be good for all setups. i will be bringing 2 different modded MAF housings with me. one from this DIY and one that's a lil more conservative on air flow. i'll be sure to post up the results for everyone to see...

you may be running lean b/c of the sri (X did so also w/ his fujita sri, that is assuming they're similar in how they affect the a/f ). if thats the case, then assuming similar a/f ratios to X's intake, your DIY intake should fix that fine giving similar a/f ratios (13-13.5) w/ more power than what you have now. Initaillly, i had thought you had a cai but i guess this makes sense.

i can only hope you're right my friend.

So, once I install it and get my AFR checked, what AFR is normal and acceptable? Also, what happens if its not good? Is there some sort of fix?

hawjdude · 01-12-2008, 12:28 AM

w/ X's intake, i would assume your a/f should be around 13-13.5 and no higher.

Are you doing a DIY? If you're buying one from X there's no need for a dyno!

02civicsi · 01-12-2008, 12:48 AM

If I DIY then should I dyno to be safe to see what my AFR is @?

Yes, correct sir

02civicsi · 01-12-2008, 12:51 AM

Thanks Caliguy, I'll have to remember that after I DIY.

Yeah, I just finally got time at work and read the thread, I didn't realize the "dyno only if you DIY" part. Thanks!

**Qshooter151** · 01-13-2008, 10:03 PM

fabricated my mount tonight. didn't use the same one as you X, but one of the stock mount locations. didn't have to remove my shifter cable. unfortunately i didn't have my damn camera with me. i'll be sure to get some pics next weekend at the dyno.

cloeycar · 01-13-2008, 11:39 PM

would there be anyway to use the filter from the fujita SRI on the modified MAF? It doesn't look like they attach in the same way. I would eventually step up to a better filter, but I would like to think that my whole SRI investment wasn't being flushed...
