Taing it to the next level- 3.6 engine build

I am using the factory 996 throttle body and was very careful matching the internal diameters and radii to the size of throttle body. All of my bends are very smooth and there are no major disturbances internally. I am using turbo grade clamps and used a 3-inch (or there abouts) aluminum tube to run the distance before it bends again at the side of the car to transition towards the air box. I measured where the factory MAF location is and then used the MAF from the OE housing from the factory to emulate the distance of air flow and pattern of airflow as consistently as possible. I also recreated a mesh out of stainless with the same approximate size grid pattern to recreate the necessary turbulence/air flow pattern for the MAF to read properly.



Don't want to hijack this thread, but this is an interesting story. I'd recommend starting this as a new thread. That said, You have a lot of detail in this post, but the question I have that I don't see is did you use the OE MAF housing along with the OE MAF in your intake you built? To calculate flow the MAF has to have the correct ID along with velocity, temp etc. Hopefully it is something this simple.

Monty, I did use the existing OE location/tube with integral MAF mounting location and of course the factory 996 prefix on the MAF itself.

Wow how time flies it has been over a year ! The car is running great with zero issues . I enjoy her every time I get behind the wheel . Rear tires don't seem to last very long There is nothing I would change . And on my health front all systems go no issues
I am going to retire in about 6 months and will be able to put more miles on the beast !

That is great news, congratulations!!!
