Hey guys, 2013 GE8 M/T. I'm new to modifying a fit (besides visual stuff) and today I threw together an air intake from some autozone "specials". I put everything together as it should be and I went to go for my first drive and before I even made it out of the driveway I noticed I lost almost all my power, it bogs to the point of dying when I go foot to the floor, and if I unplug the mass air flow sensor, I can drive, but only up to 3k before the motor sputters and I have to shift. Any help?

 

the MAF sensor is sensitive to the diameter of the tube its plugged into. people who do the DIY SRI here chops off the part off the stock air cleaner where the MAF sensor and plugs the rest of their DIY stuff into it.

Is there a chance the onboard computer will readjust over time? Or will I just have to cut an air box up in hopes it'll fix it?

 

I fixed the problem, but thank you so much for assisting!

 

what did u end up doing

 

I found a 2 inch rubber tubing to put inside of the 3 inch plastic piping. Ran the sensor through both the plastic pipe and the rubber, so it allowed for the air to flow through the 2 inch for a better reading for the sensor while allowing air to also flow around the rubber for extra air to the engine. It is still throwing a code for the first day and I don't know if it is spirited driving from my newly gained intake noise or what, but I am seeming to lose mpg. I feel it is more on the spirited driving side. I will keep you updated on the CEL as the days go on and the miles pile up.

 

Also as well, if you look at my latest video on my instagram, it has a quick clip of the intake noise and how well the motor sounds now!

 

good stuff hope ur cel goes away.

 

Got in the car today, started up and no light! Everything is a-okay!
