Hi guys,
I own a 4B10 1.8 mivec powered car and have recently purchased an arospeed short ram intake.
Upon installing it together with a HKS SPF, the engine idles low at 500rpm and the engine would shake vigorously to the point where it would just die on its own. Power is there in the 1500rpm-4000rpm but when it hits the mivec activation point, the car loses power.kinda like getting a mild rev-cut.
I installed it as such:
1) Remove battery terminal.
2) Remove MAF from the stock piping.
3) Install the Arospeed SRI.
4) Install the MAF sensor.
5) reconnect wires and battery.
Pretty straightforward. I have made sure that the MAF is properly installed and facing the correct direction. The MAF sits flush in its mounting and not loose. The only difference i can find is that the arospeed pipe is a larger diameter than the original piping. The MAF fills the whole diameter of the pipe and on the arospeed, it is hanging the sensing element is not centered in the middle of the pipe.
Help anyone?
