Default Are these MAF housing calculations correct?

Stock MAF is 73mm so the area is Pi*36.5^2?

85mm MAF would be Pi*42.5^2,88mm MAF would be Pi*44^2, and 90mm would be Pi*45^2?

So a 85mm MAF would be ~1.356 times bigger, a 88mm MAF would be ~1.453, a 90mm maf is ~1.52 times bigger?

If this is accurate, Mike2kS4 flowing ~275 g/s with the 88mm housing is equivalent to flowing ~400 g/s with the stock housing?

And IIRC, Verruckt is flowing ~285 g/s with his 85mm housing. This would be equivalent to flowing ~385 g/s with the stock housing?

Any input would be appreciated. A few of us AW'ers have been discussing this for a while now, so I decided to share and get some comments. Thanks, guys. If I'm way off, be nice about correcting me

Default here are the "areas" of each MAF size......

using doc's theory....

73=4185.4mm^2
83=5410.3mm^2
85=5674.5mm^2
88=6082.1mm^2
90=6361.7mm^2

The math is a bit more complicated than that for flow, but you're definitely in the ballpark.

Default Oh yeah, forgot the RS4 housing in my post.

RS4 housing is 83mm. Area is Pi*41.5^2. The ratio of RS4 to S4 is ~1.3?

Default Is there a Computational Fluid Dynamicist in the house?

I doubt I'd get even half the variables in the flow computations.
