Will this work?

Hello all, I dont post much but I need an answer before I screw something up. All the threads and post I read say the Titan runs a little rich. If someone were to make a spacer for the MAF sensor that made it read a lesser air reading, wounldnt that cut the fuel back a little? I cant afford high price intakes for fuel economy but I have a freind in maching that can make me a spacer for free. What are ya'lls thoughts on this. Already made tube cut and gained 3 mpg. Let me know.

Interesting Idea. Let me know if you do this, and whether it works or not. What tube cut are you referring too?? More details please.

Its the DIY Air Box Mod.

Search for this... diy-air-box-mod

Cant do links, not enough post under my belt. I didnt cut the tube completely off, cut about halfway down then across, gave it a flat edge so it would cover that huge void.

Mike,

Here's the website. Read through it's pretty understandable why they have this product, and it seems to work. Also you can do a search on here for it, and I'm sure there are a few threads about.

Make sure you read through all the tabs on this web page.

did you really gain 3mpg!! My new K&N filter has (thanks to heliwhore) has gotten me about .5 mpg. I was very surprised!

HandofBoB · 08-03-2006, 11:20 PM

Yes, not lying, I even showed my friends, they make fun of my $55 fill ups. They would check my mpg and laugh at me. Now they aren't laughing as much. Damn civic owners. Went from 10-11 to now I'm at 13-14 with a paper filter. I couldn't believe it either. My dealership wont do the 2° mod so I am hoping this spacer idea will work. Need to try the grounding kit.

Yes there is but I will never go to them, they thought that since I was young I didnt have good credit and tried to get me to buy a Sentra. So, screw them. I only have two dealerships in my area unless I want to drive an hour to another one. I have 26,600 mile on her.

Who did you talk to at the dealer, who said they wouldn't do it? I was just wondering on the miles, because the more broke in your engine gets the better the milage gets. Thought maybe you had low miles.

Service dept. guy. Its the same guy that said my a/c leaks into my cab because I park under a tree. Smart guy. I need to go design this part but waiting for truck to get back to me, its at dealership getting a/c figured out. The worse thing that happens is a blown the motor, which on ebay I saw one for $1500 with tranny, not too worried about blowing it.

I am curious if you have any instructions or diagrams that came with your kit, that you are willing to post here. I would like to see what is involoved in installing the grounding kit before I buy it. I'd also appreciate your testimonial on any noticeable improvements after the install. I guess I am a bit of a skeptic...You don't work for Active Tuning do you...
