I am planning on getting a Dejon setup with an HKS blowoff valve, but from what I understand Dejon puts the MAF relocation on the hot side versus almost everyone else putting it on the cold side... Is there a huge difference?

 

I am getting charge piping one way or another, already have a BOV, and the stuff for the BOV is 79.99 more than what it would cost for charge piping without flanges welded on for the BOV.

Not really a huge difference in price. Upgraded turbo in the future is always a possibility so I want to keep my options open.

 

are you buying this for noise or do you have the intention for an upgraded turbo later? its pointless to waste a goo amount of money on a noise maker. you can put an intake and forge bpv and get the same effect.

answer to your question....cold side.

its just a waste of money on the stock turbo. you dont need it at all. its just a noise maker. if you spend the money on the forge it sounds like a bov anyways and is an unless you plan on upgrading your turbo later i wouldnt bother...... i mean the bpv isnt bad at all and iwll hold boost on its own. has to be good enough if borg and warner is using it on the efr turbos let alone al ittle k04.

 

OK, and back to the original question, please. I didn't ask if you think this is a wise decision, I am asking which side it should be on.

 

Can the maf handle the hot side? Don't the temps reach like 2-300f there?
Mine is on the cold side.

 

cold.

 

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking, how is it Dejon relocates it to the hot side then?

 

i dont think they do, the flange for the bov is there but not the maf. dont get a bov if you dont know what your doing.

 

All threads I've seen thus far say Dejon puts the maf right after the BOV on the hot side...

 

where?

"it looks like the only option for Dejon is for the hotside maf relocate...is that correct? I didn't see an option for cold side or wire harness extenion. Someone got links? Thanks "


and there are others as well...

 

i didnt look in that thread but i guess they do before the bov. not something i would do. end up spending way to much money for a pshhh sound that is probably gonna give you problems. get a forge bpv and k&n sri and you will love it. it is more than loud enough

 

You want the MAF relocate on cold side pipe, thats the best place due to air temp.

I ordered the ZZP MAF relocate pipe (shipped this week) with the MAF extension and block of plate. I believe ZZP's was tested up to 50 lbs/min.


The picture above,
Dejon sells there intercooler pipe with/without a MAF relocate with BOV. Yes the MAF relocate is after the BOV on Dejon's pipe.

 

I just called Dejon and they said they could put it wherever I want it... How far away from the TB should it be on the cold side? Also how much was that MAF extension from ZZP? Dejon doesn't sell one... I am getting the block off from treadstone.

 

Don't cop an attitude. I answered your question in my first post but clearly you didn't read it

 

All I got to say is good luck with what you are trying to do relocating the MAF to the LICP without R&D, let me know how the tuning turns out.

 

this....unless you have someone who can tune for it dont even bother. dont let dejon powerhouse tell you that you can run a atmospheric bov on the lnf without a tune either....he said that to me a long time ago and now they have maf relocations....hmmm.

 

I am getting it tuned by trifecta after getting all this stuff... I'm not trying to do any of this without a tune. I am assuming I should go another route for the cold side piping then since dejon hasn't perfected the maf relocation there yet, is that what you are saying?

 

hes right though haha. you can spend $135 on a forge bpv swap it out with the stock one and you can go PSHHHH safely without a tune. ask me how i know. but no your gonna be spending a good around 300 plus the cost of getting tuned. sucks man haha

 

I need the charge piping and the tune regardless... The actual cost for me to do a BOV is about 79.99 extra. Already have the BOV, and the 79.99 is for the flanges to be welded on in the right place.

I completely understand why you guys would say not to do it, I am just saying I'm not asking for opinions on it I just want facts. I am sure that sounds harsh but that's not how I mean it. I just don't want a million replies of everyone saying not to do it, I want replies telling me what I need to do. No offense to anyone in here, I'm just trying to get info on doing this. I've already made up my mind and it is happening for sure, I could just use some help making sure everything is in order before I order all kinds of the wrong stuff.

 

Also take into account the inside diameter of the pipe where the maf sits, ic pipes are normally 2.5", the stock intake has an ID of 3 inches where the maf sits. I know zzp's pipe expands in that area, does the dejon one also?

 

thats mianly because of the intake size and not only that but the maf bottoms out in 2.5" piping

 

No, after reading all this thread though, I am going with Dejon for everything but the cold side pipe which I will get from ZZP along with the maf extension harness..
