hey has anyone had problems with there intake at all? we are having some problems with tuning because my ecu is telling my tb to shut causing my car to struggle a little when i first push the gas. it only happens when starting to move and shifting then pushing the gas again! wot and everything else is fine

anyways only thing that we are thinkin is that either the maf location is off or something with the k&n filter is causing the air readings to be off so my car acts funny.

anybody got any other ideas...im putting my stock intake back in to see if that makes the problem go away...if so then ottp is gonna get a call!

we have been searching like crazy to see what else it could possibly be but nothing seems right

 

Did you clean your MAF? Is your filter excessively oily?

ya i have cleaned it like 5 times and nothing has changed...i have even switched it with another one and nothing.

as far as the filter no i hardly put any oil on it at all. it does have a dry sleeve on it tho

 

could be throttle body itself i know mine got fucked up and my car went crazy

 

possibly but wouldn't it run like crap all the time?

 

i would think so but i wouldnt rule it out do u have a buddy to swap tb with?

 

ya i will try that after if putting my stock intake back in doesn't work

 

i have had my intake on for about 2 weeks now with zero issues... i'm running the gms2 tune. probably a stupid suggestion but is there any way your maf sensor is facing the wrong way? i recall thinking it would fit both ways when i swapped mine...

if this were the case though the car would probably run way worse than you're describing

 

no it you can slide it in both ways but to bolt it up there is only one way the holes are a little offset

 

Well, I have the OTTP 3" too, and have not experienced any issues like that. You may have already done this, but inspect the couplers to make sure there are no tears, as well as to verify that they are on correctly and not just barely hanging onto the pipe.

Definitely looking forward to the stock intake results! Good luck man.

 

ya vince is telling me and matt that it is somewhere between the filter and tb that there is a problem... and i have checked and made sure that it is on at least an inch before i clamped it down... vince wants pics to see for himself

 

oh ok... i have no suggestions then. good luck

jw did you have to cut some off of the silicon coupler that connected to the tb to get the first pipe to fit over the brake lines with no rubbing?

 

no i kinda just forced it on there haha but i don't hear or feel any air getting through the couplers

 

so just put my stock intake on and took it out for a spin...still runs like crap but i want to get a datalog done on it so vince can look at it to see if that problem went away if not then i guess im gettin a tb try next

 

How much vacuum are you pulling at idle?

 

like 15 but vince was a bad ass and sent a reflash with the stock intake last night and i put it on and my car runs fine now...so what the hell could it of been? the piping? the filter? i mean your running the same intake no problem....

 

Gremlins... I had all kinds of trouble with my Rebel intake, which is why I switched to this OTTP one. I dunno, maybe air was in fact escaping or being introduced after the MAF somewhere... somehow.

 

ya i may switch back just to see if anything changes but idk what vince will say :S
