ahardb0dy Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 nice, is that one of those toilet flange adapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Awesome! Does the intake move at all or is it pretty much stationary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1999R50 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Exactly. Its accually the piece that really made the whole thing work. The intake goes from 3" at the mass air flow sensor down to 2 3/4" and that adapter worked perfect. nice, is that one of those toilet flange adapters?

1999R50 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 It stays in place quite nice. I have been checking it daily because I am paranoid that it will fall off, but it hasn't budged.

giddyuppony Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 this is awesome Is there any way you might be able to put some more photos up and a little description on how you made it. I would like to try and make one, but the MAS would be my hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1999R50 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sure, I will take it apart and take some photos. I have been running it for 2 weeks now with no problem. I just drilled a 7/8 hole with a step drill for the MAF and then transferred the mounting holes and used some self small wood screws. The MAF uses a calculation based on the internal diameter of the pipe it is in which was something like 2 3/4. So the pipe I used was 3" ABS so therefore, it works fine, no problem. this is awesome Is there any way you might be able to put some more photos up and a little description on how you made it. I would like to try and make one, but the MAS would be my hesitation. Yes I should paint it black. It would make it look less like the plumbing section of Home Hardware.

pathfounder Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 So is it the toilet adapter or the air filter that keeps the s**t from getting into your engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 So it doesn't run too rich? Thats a good thing if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1999R50 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 So it doesn't run too rich? Thats a good thing if it doesn't. I don't think its running rich. It seems to run fine. Can't really give a fuel efficiency comparison with all the snow we have been having. 4WD in combination with cold seems to suck a lot of gas.

Cool. Paint that sucker black and it'll look practically OEM. I don't think its running rich. It seems to run fine. Can't really give a fuel efficiency comparison with all the snow we have been having. 4WD in combination with cold seems to suck a lot of gas. 4WD alone is bad enough even in summer weather. But I'm certain us R50 owners didn't buy our rigs because they sip fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clkindred Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You went straight from the throttle body eh? Maybe I will moddify mine to do that aswell. Looks good! Thank you! Yep, straight shot. I kept the factory MAF housing and used an adapter that bolted to the housing one one side and had a 4 inch flange for clamping the filter to on the other. The way your MAF sensor mounts to your piece of black pipe? Dose it pose an air leak? Did you seal it with some silicone? Or dose it just fit tight enough?

But my idle is fine so I don't think it is affecting it. But I will silicone it like you recommended. I wonder if it will help anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will help anything? It would not hurt to do so I don't think, if your wheeling spots get dusty like mine, I would be concerned about dust getting in that way. But on the other hand, if you silicone it, every time you need it off you will have to rip the MAF off, then scrape off the old sealant before installing with new silicone.

thorpe991 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Cost me about $50 . $25 for filter from Canadian Tire. and $25 for the toilet connector, some sleeve with hose clamps and some abs pipe. Works great. feel the power increase right away. im going to do something similar but even more simpler, there are the 4 bolts that hold the maf sensor/tube to the stock box im going to just get a flange to replace the stock box and hook the cone filter to that then i dont have to worry about the other i might have to replace the bolts but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
