Re: Cold Air Intake
That is a work of art - looks absolutely fantastic.
I hope you see some positive results!

Re: Cold Air Intake
Agree that it's a work of art.
Where are you headed to in Utah? We're currently in the mid-state region, and not only has it been hot, the winds have been relentless. We're headed further south on Sunday, and then Bryce Canyon on Tuesday.

Re: Cold Air Intake
Wow. Nice work! I'm going to have to go revisit your exhaust mod. As I recall there was some similar fabrication. I'm curious how much it lowered your EGTs?
We're heading to southern Utah in a week to hit Thunder Mtn and L. Creek. Then on up to Ogden for July 4th. Happy trails!

Re: Cold Air Intake
Is in the inner cross-section of your new MAF-sensor duct the same as stock? The MAF only measures flow, but the computer calculates volume based on the cross-section of the MAF-duct. Increasing the diameter of that duct will cause air velocity to slow, and the PCM will reduce fuel delivery.
DiabloSport makes a device called the "MAFia" which allows you to calibrate the MAF signal for modified duct diameters.

Re: Cold Air Intake
A quick look around didn't find me any aftermarket CARB compliant DIY air box replacement for a 6.0 PSD. Anyone know different? Thanks, Pat

Most of the 6.0 diesel heads that modify the stock air intake are changing injectors, ignition timing, etc and going for 500rwHP.

OK, I was looking at it more as anything to incrementally improve any of the original design performance restrictions is a good thing for the long term. My first 100 miles on the FICM 40HP PHP program is like WOW, this brick is waking up! It has potential.

Agreed. I have a 65rwHP tune on mine but was concerned about a slight advance in timing increasing heat. Killing the kitty and a high flow muffler lowered my EGTs 150 to 200 degrees under most conditions. Anything to increase flow is good but apparently the stock intake design is pretty good. At least for the F series. Not sure how different the vans are.
