Getting the most out of your Apexi S-AFC= Stock MAF honeycomb removal - Page 2 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Great post! While this isn't a new concept, it's nice to see some dyno numbers to back it up. Picking up 50 AWHP and 58 ft/lbs. is no joke! Phalse gutted his MAS way back when he was running 11s on the 9b + 13G combo, and Racer_X has been trying to tell people about the benefits forever.

I'm looking forward to gutting my MAS. After watching Racer_X's car pull solid mid 12s with 108 + MPH traps on stock turbos I'm a firm believer in it.

I think it may be time for me to start thinking about something bigger than 450cc injectors, though...

Yea, your engine and DR 500 turbos would appreciate some more fuel!

ttt for this one.

Not to piss on anyone's campfire....

But I have done this about 6 times in the past. Everytime I could get her running pretty good but over time the car would start acting up. Running bad and demand it's honeycombs back. And every time reinstalling them fixed any issues it was having...

Just my experiences.

If you want flow get an ARC w 87mm or the MAFT mod

But yet, Armond (Racer_X) has been running with a totally gutted MAS for a couple of years now and his car is fine. Just as with every other aspect of our cars, this one will vary from vehicle to vehicle.

You are correct. Sometimes it would work a week for me, others maybe a month...

You realize of course, that makes absolutely no sense.

Why a month? Maybe the LTFT is geting wacked a little, but it would happen in less than a month if it were gonna happen at all.

Either way, it's nothing pulling the BAT fuse for 1 minute wouldn't fix....

Import Power · 08-07-2003, 06:46 AM

Makes absolute sense. Why? Because I did it 6 times and have first hand experience. I did it, I witnessed it. Every time after pulling honeys the car would act up. Not right away...but eventually it would. Sometimes sooner than later but always did. I do't think a mod that requires pulling the fuse to reset to ECU is a worthwhile mod. More of a jerry rig workaround until you get proper equipment

I wanna learn more about this since I am doing fuel mods.
