Finished the conversion from MAF to MAP. Here is a picture of the final version of my cold air intake. It consists of the 4 inch orange rubber hose, the LT1 elbow and the 3.5" aluminum tubing. Also the K&N air filter.
No restriction with this system. With the 58MM throttle body it should give the engine all the air it can use.

 

wow thats nice looking! did you bend them or did you order the tubes?

 

You can buy the 3.5 inch aluminum tubing prebent. I got the one with a 30 degree bend and a 24 inch radius. It comes with seven inches of straight on each end after the bends. I cut it to fit and had it ceramic coated. The LT1 elbow you can get from Summit.

 

That looks really nice I wanna do something very similar but retain the stock MAF. Is that one of the trick flow elbows? Can you show me the piping that you bought from summit. And how does it feel compared to the stock TPI intake? Thanks in advance for the answer

 

Here is a picture when I had the MAF. The LT1 elbow is from Summit and it is made by Trickflow. I bought the 3.5" aluminum tubing off the internet somewhere.

 

This is where I bought the aluminum tubing. I thought the price was quite reasonable for a single piece already bent.

ok thanks,how hard was it to convert to MAP? Is that the same thing as speed density?

edit: found a good site with the info I was looking for.http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~davis/z28/ecm_swap_730/

 

that looks like a really clean installation

 

Very good idea. Overall install looks great too.

 

In my case it was not hard at all to convert to MAP or Speed Density. Dyno Don gave the expert help and we did it in about 4 hours. He already had an eprom ready to go and the tune was very close. We just have to do a final tune on it. Hopefully Monday.

You will need a 7730 computer with connectors and memcal. The MAP sensor, hose and connector. A 3900 ohm knock sensor for the Speed Density. Replacement air intake system.

Basically you swap the wires around at the computer conections inside the car. Mount the map sensor and vacuum hose. We used the wires from the MAF and burn off relay to hook up to the MAP sensor wiring. Replace the knock sensor. Run the wire straight from the knock sensor to the computer. Install new intake system. The web site you have gives all the information
Install the new eprom and then tune for your situation.

 

Hey, great job. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's tough to find a nice intake for a 58mm TB that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I bet it flows better than the SLP kit also. Just one question, where did you get the rubber connectors and throttle body adapter? I plan on doing exactly the same thing you did. Thanks for sharing your design!!

 

I have since updated my CAI. The 90 degree 3 1/2"aluminum tube is now ceramic powder coated. Here is the latest link.

Yes it flows way more than the SLP unit which I had at one point. The adaptor hose I bought at www.bakerprecision.com I Believe they come in red, black and blue colors.
