My X-1 intake is reading lower peak values (247g/s vs 286g/s). Can anyone tell me why?

Default My X-1 intake is reading lower peak values (247g/s vs 286g/s). Can anyone tell me why?

I was just reading DAP's post below and I have the same situation...lower readings with the X-1 intake. I also changed my MAF to AWE's, now call me crazy but I though I would get "better" airflow with the X-1 intake and larger MAF.

Can anyone explain this to me?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2404732.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2404732.phtml</a></li></ul>

Is there a flow straightener in that setup?

It's not that you are flowing less air so much as the air is flowing differently through the sensor.

Default MAF readings are HEAVILY influenced by the air path leading to the MAF.

Even with the same MAF housing, the airbox/intake configuration can dramatically affect MAF readings.

I wouldn't advise running an intake that your car isn't tuned for.

Default Jeff Moss hooked me up with the latest 93 oct Open Element file.

ASAMOF, the car had been running rich instead of lean but that has been taken care of. My questions comes out of "tuning" curiosity only.

Default Hmm... In that case, if you (NogaroPR) decide to switch back to the S-Flo...

I CALL DIBS ON THE X-1 ;-)

Gotcha. So the AWE open element file works well with the X1?
