Before and After MAF Pipe and K&N 1/4 mile runs

[Brandon#]

I know I shouldn't expect much from the install of a Kirban MAF pipe and 9" K&N, but I thought I would post the results from the only 2 runs I have made in the car.

Boost is at 18# and leaving the line between 2# and 3#

Before After
60' 1.937 1.939
330' 5.436 5.431
1/8 8.397 8.381
MPH 82.92 83.28
1000 10.979 10.948
ET 13.175 13.126
MPH 102.31* 103.23

*The pipe from the turbo to the intercooler popped off between the 1000 and the finish line.

The only thing noticeable from the intake change is the sound, the turbo and wastegate are a LOT more noticeable now. It was more of a fun mod, than a functional mod.

IMO the Kirban Maf pipe is too short. It places the air filter directly under the ac lines, which puts a lot of stress on the lines and filter. I had to install a 6" piece of 3" pipe to move the air filter closer to the fender. At the track I met a fellow TR owner who did the exact same thing with the Kirban pipe.

yup the stock intake setup with a drop in filter can move a lot of air,just doesn't sound as good

Yes. I'm finishing up the install of my alkycontrol kit in the next week or so. I'm debating on wether to install the dash bezel for the controls, or install it in the glove box.

once it's installed im going to crank up the boost to about 22#, and install some comp 980 valve springs
