Sorry I an not a techee... but what's the purpose of the resonator? What does mean "off idle MAF metering"? Can someone explain in simple words? Many thanks,
Looks good !!! The resonator is an intake muffler to quiet the intake sound. 'Off idle MAF metering' is improved if the original plastic resonator is not sealing properly. With a proper post MAF intake seal, the MAF will get all intake air through the MAF. Which when metered will allow the ECU to administer the correct amount of fuel for the air ingested. This will be most apparent at the transition from idle to acceleration. Here the the u-tube vid posted by XSV348 ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enOYZc5cC9Q .
It's not really a useful video as there's no "before and after." I cannot say I noticed a sound difference on my car but I didn't really listen that carefully for it. Once my car is back together I'll have to do a before and after.
Thanks Gothspeed. I am a bit less silly ;-)) but still need some training (what's a MAF?)... Except the worrying smoke, the video is not telling a lot about this mod.
