Blow through stock MAF?

[480sx]

The biggest problem with a blow through setup interestingly enough is the very same problem you get when running a turbo setup. You need a laminar flow of air inside the pipe for a MAF to work properly. To get this, your technically supposed to have 18 inches of strait pipe with your MAF in the middle. This is nearly impossible on most Ka-T setups. This is why it works for some and not for others. Some people will run super lean switching, because the air is not flowing equally through the pipe.

My idea was to use a honey combed aluminum core to create this. 3/8ths inch thick cores, 1/2 to 3/4ths inch thickness. Place one at the start of the strait section and one at the end, as far away from the MAF as possible while still being in the strait section. Glue the stuff in there with some high temp hard core epoxy.

This stuff.

The only problem is the freaken sheets(4X8) of the stuff is like ~200 bucks. Cant find anyone to give me scraps or anything to test my idea out. If someone wanted to split a sheet with me id be down but for now that ideas gona have to wait a bit. I def plan on testing it, we'll see. If it works out im gona offer cut outs of the stuff to the community.

As far as the stock maf on blow through, i have no idea. I think at this point its all speculation though i do remember hearing some first hand reports of burning out stock Mafs wi/ blowthrough. Iv also heard stories of burnt mafs with z32 mafs too so.. w/e. However i have heard a LOT of success stories with a z32 maf and blow through. The size of the maf shouldnt mater.

I talked about this a few years ago Nate. I think I used the sink faucet with and without a screen as an example of airflow. Not that I didn't understand what you were saying, but maybe that will help someone along the way.

For those running low boost, you don't even need a BOV IMO. Say less then 10 psi ish...

would it depend on the type of turbo used? A t4 would probably hold up better against compressor surge than a t-25 at lower boost (7-10 psi)

I've had my bov adjusted all the way to hard to make that uber jdm tyte compressor surge sound and I didn't really experience any spooling issues compared to having the bov to the softest setting.
