JWX Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 ok I put my bottomless intake tray in my RX(the bottom part of the intake box) and I took out the two snorkels (I guess thats what they were) one above the filter and the one below. it sounds sooo much better. but I forgot to plug in the MAF before I fired her up, did I do any damage? and where can I get the maf adapter for a cone filter?

samo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 If it's for an EA82, the MAF adaptor from a 1991-1999 Nissan Sentra with the 1.6l engine (GA16DE) will bolt right up. You can get these at any rice/performance shop or on Ebay. A cheap one is $5, a nice aluminum one will run $30-$50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 ok I edited mt first post so you guys know what I'm talking about. so the GA16 maf has the same bolt pattern on it, I thought it was a nissan one but I was thinking it was SR20. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oobnuker Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Does this look like it will work: Ebay I had cobbled together a 'custom' adapter out of some home depot parts, but I need to replace the filter now. The one I originally used was a $25 APC unit from Advanced Auto. If this item on Ebay will work, it includes the adapter and a filter for $17.95 shipped...

oddcomp Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 when i had maf i cut and ground the mounting ears off my hot wire so teh cone filter would slip over the end of the maf ... no adapter looks better and just barely touches the inside fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oobnuker Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 when i had maf i cut and ground the mounting ears off my hot wireso teh cone filter would slip over the end of the maf ... no adapter looks better and just barely touches the inside fender I was thinking about this. I'd have to do rough cuts with a hacksaw and then grind the rest off with a Dremel - but I only have one MAF and I don't want to screw it up. Hence my interest in this low-buck solution. Also mounting directly to the MAF creates another issue - mounting the unit itself. With the ears ground off, how did you mount it so it doesn't bang around and ruin the thing?

archemitis Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 i got an insert filter for some bigars diesel, and drilled holes around it, build a metal disc, with the square hole in the middle. drilled holes in the metal, to meet up with the holes in the filter. build a gasket to go between the metal and filter, out of a rubber hose, to hold the filter away from the screws in the maf. of course painted it:brow: and turned it backwards, to suck cold air from my cowl induction style hood. works good, and could probably be built with a dremmel, or a cutoff tool. the cone filter i got was around 35 instead of the 50-60 i was finding the "cone" k&n filters marketed to honda owners.

oddcomp Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 the cone filter is light enough it does not bang around but i also have a turbo so the turbo rubber intake tube is not very long i only had one maf as well mine is up for sale i don't need it now.. just the maf not the filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Does this look like it will work: Ebay Wow! That is cheap. I LIKE! No-one confirmed if it will work but if it's for the Sentra like posted above, it should. You know if you purchased it, tried it and it didn't work, someone on here will come out of the blue and say they knew it wouldn't work because they tried it. So anyone? Will this work or not? Also, does anyone know if it'd fit an XT6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 i too am curious about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 well considering my toyota, and alot of hyundais, and alot of nissan maf sensors are identical on the outside to ours, i think it would fit. looks pretty wussy tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 looks good to me.. well except it goes from round to square :toyota style maf: and suby is round so outside of a tiny bit of restriction it should work fine oh correction i think the flapper door maf system is square entry and the hot wire is round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 looks good to me.. well except it goes from round to square :toyota style maf: and suby is round so outside of a tiny bit of restriction it should work fine oh correction i think the flapper door maf system is square entry and the hot wire is round Yup.. will work.. looks to have the same bolt pattern as a soob.. and having the square hole and round flaring will make it compatible with both Vane and hotwire cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oobnuker Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Welp, I need a new air filter - I bid on one of them. There are like 5-6 auctions going. If no one else buys one, I'll let everyone know how it works out. Auction ends in 13 hours. I hit it for the lowest bid (because I am broke and cheap), so I am going to just ride it out, but I don't expect to get outbid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two different intakes on both of my XT6s but just in case I feel like tooling around with another idea, I know I can use this maf piece so I was curious. I noticed the square vs round hole as well. I wonder how that would affect flow velocity but maybe that's asking for too much. It'd be cool if it could fit. Man, I need an EA81-T or 2-T to play with.

samo Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 That E-bay one looks a bit different than the one I had on my old wagon... but then again, that pic might not be of the exact MAF adaptor. If it's for a Sentra GA16DE, it'll work on our MAFs. Would people be interested if I could get a whole mess of these? I have some close connections in the Nissan community, and I might be able to snag some for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
