Help switching to Blow-Thru

[SVTCruz]

I'm trying to switch to a blow-thru set up. Right now I have SCT 2400 MAF and a Bosch By pass. I tried searching on what I would need but things got a little confusing. Can someone help me find the items I would need? Trying not to spend too much $.

THanks

The ba2400 will not work in your application, it will not have enough range. Also the bosch bypass is too small for the application. Its even too small in the stock application....but they use them due to $$$$.

Mini race minimum, and the pipe work setup correctly and maf/maf placement crucial.

Can I put the blow-thru in the circled area?

That should be a long enough straight section for a blow thru set up.

Do you know if they sell that hpx 75 mm maf? I couldn't find it

All you need to do is order a BA5000 or a PMAS HPX and have a saddle welded right to the pipe. It will be cleaner looking and unrestrict airflow with the lack of a million couplers right near the meter. Run the meter on the backside of the straight closer to the TB. You want as much straight pre meter to ensure the air flow is laminar.

not sure about that I think Summit sells them. My pmas is a suck in and it works well for me.

Listen to Kevin, you can also get this if you want less work.

so I don't need the maf adapter plug with this one? Is the air intake sensor built in to this one?

You still need the 05' up style maf plug spliced in (solder no butt connectors) The iat is built into the 05 up sensor. You have to wire up all 6 pins.

Im not a fan of the 76mm housing because you then have a shit load of couplers right near the meter and those ridges do disrupt airflow. You want the most stable air at the maf to ensure accurate reading for drivability. WOT isnt a huge concern, its more for drivability.

Kevin,

What about using some wire mesh to straighten out the air if he goes that route; what are your thoughts?

If your not intercooled then there is no point or advantages of goin blow thru but if u are or plan on it ur gona need a decent blow off valve (tial q 50mm with hot pink or dark spring or bigred) this wil b welded n between sc discharge and intercooler .the ba2400 wil work n 4 blowthru but wil peg if ur runnin any kinda real power,id throw it on craiglist and get a slotted maf (pamas hpx or ba5000) this wil need 2 be welded n a atleast 6 inch straight section ofpipe between intercooler and tb and then u would need 2 weld a nipple n AFTER maf about 4 inches b4 tb .if u need help or live close by email me .id gladly show u one set up or give u asstance

Also u will need a dyno retune when done and dont bother with maf housing 4 the hpx just weld it in

Respectfully, I disagree.

By moving the MAF closer to his TB, there will less delay between what the ECU is measuring, and what is going into the engine.

i agree but i didnt say to put ur maf close 2 tb ,just 2 put it in a 6 inch straight section of pipe between intercooler and tb and 2 weld a nipple 4 ur iac 4 inchs b4 tb .ur maf usally goes right after ur intercooler pipe comes into engine bay , sorry 4 the confusion

Thats where I run it before I switched blowers. Worked good there I thought. Shoot the pick didn't come with the quote but yes up by the throttle body.
