Here's mine now

 

thats opposite to the way I have it. When I had it like that my ltfts were fairly negative BUT, your can might like it that way. do you have anything that shows your fuel trims?

 

Yes SC cortex.. after reading this whole thread again i realized its not right i'm gonna turn it tomorrow. It pulls way harder and longer for sure runs great just want to make it better

 

Anyone get any info from the ebay seller... I still don't have a tracking number, he claims that I'm one of 12 people who are setup to drop ship to....

 

Has anybody had bucking/jerking issues with this intake? I have had it on for over 3 weeks now and just had an issue last night and this morning. It is when I'm in the lower RPMs in third and fourth gear, accelerating slowly...not sure if it is and intake thing or just some bad gas...when I flog it, everything is normal..still boosting at like 22 psi...

 

havent seen that over here yet and I've had it for months. Do you have any method of scanning the PCM? Like what are your fuel trims?

Which way is the filter positioned. And is the MAF in the right direction. The Arrow/ Alphabet should be going towards the turbo.

 

got a response from the ebay guy last night, supposedly k&N is only making 36 for the next batch and it will ship on sept 3rd... k&n wouldnt tell him whether or not his orders were going to get filled or not, so i dropped mine... going to get me an AEM after seeing fuel trim stuff said.

 

Have fun fluttering with the AEM

 

aem has a upgraded elbow.

 

I don't have any way to look at my fuel trims...it would be one thing if it was doing that from day 1, but think it is weird that it just started...

I have the metal strip at about 11 o'clock...isn't that where everyone decided is best? I think the MAF is correct...I put it in the same way it came out...but will double check this afternoon...

Yep...MAF is the correct way...

 

hmmm... maybe a sensor issue with stage 1?

The reason it could be fuel trims which is what all the "gurus" keep saying is that it takes a while for the fuel trim to go real wack and when it happens, you get driveability issues. Try this. Disconnect the battery, wait 10 mins or so and reconnect it. Or, disconnect the PCM by the fuse box and reconnect it. That will reset the fuel trims. See if the car still bucks or jerks. If it does, its not the intake. If it doesnt and then 3 weeks later it starts doing it again, rotate the filter to 12:30 position and reset the PCM again.

 

Thanks...is the 12:30 position the new consensus for those who can monitor their fuel trims?

 

I personally believe anything in the 11:30 to 12:30 range should be fine. I've seen more positive fuel trim numbers in the 11:00 direction and more negative numbers in the 12:30 position. As long as the bulge is upwards.

I had it the reverse when I first got it because I wanted the K&N logo on the filter right side up and I saw -11.0 for ltfts but when getting on the gas I saw +13.0 so it bounced around like crazy. Now I think because the filter is more exposed to moving air (air coming through the the slit between the bumper and hood), the air being pulled in is less stagnant. I have a feeling at idle it was pulling in alot of hot air since its was mostly behind the headlight in a ventless cove and then when you give it some gas, it pulled in the cool air which was coming from the slit between the bumper and hood.

Hey, did you try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it to reset everything? Did your problem still exist immediately after?

 

I am completely stumped...the drive home last night and the drive to work today were perfectly fine...not even a hint of an issue...didn't disconnect the battery...wonder what it was/is...ill post again if the problem shows up again...

 

im guessing it had nothing to do with your fuel trims then . Either that or it did and this is yet again evidence that moving the filter changes fuel trims.

 

My dual guage pod from ZZP came in today by way of UPS. My Aeroforce Interceptor will be here this afternoon through USPS. I'll finally be able to see where I'm at with my fuel trims.

 

Yeah...I didn't move the filter either...be and still at 11 o'clock...

 

mine should be in next week...cant wait

 

Mine is the exact opposite of this, 45 pages of reading and I'm still stumped. I'll be tuned for this intake in two weeks, is there any reason to adjust the filter when I'll be getting tuned for it?? From the sounds of things mine is the exact opposite of this, as mine has the K&N logo completely parallel to the ground, not upside down like yours. I'm not sure what my numbers are looking like, but the only problem I have is the intake is extremely loud upon start up for a few minutes till the car idles down. Should I be adjusting my filter anyway??

 

mine is running way better with this colder air. At WOT it was maybe hitting 3 usually stayed at -1.6 to -.8

 

Can someone tell me if my filter is in the right position

You want the BULGE portion (it's not perfectly round) to face UP and point to the 12:00-12:30 position.

 

Its at 11:30 right now [I think]

 

I really hope you guys aren't depending on figuring out if your tune is ok by watching an interceptor. You can't tell unless you data log. I have an interceptor, and it's good for many things. STFT/LTFT is not one of them.

 

What are people using as the reference for this, by this I mean what part of the filter are people using to reference where their filter position of it is supposed to be somewhere around 12:00??
