[aaronc7]

maybe this has been posted already but...what are the dimensions of the Corksport intercooler?

i think its listed on their site.

speed3: 24 in x 6 in x 3.6 in

speed6: 21 in x 10 in x 3 in

hey laloosh, how are your fuel trims today with the new maf housing? you talk to corksport at all?

[Laloosh]

same...14.1
I havnt talked to cs as i want to give the car a week or so of driving around to make sure they don't go any higher or it doesnt throw a cel.

[bova]

here is the temporary fix i did, i took it apart to redo it. it appears the front side of the coupler didn't get sealed down so it could have been getting pushed up blocking some air flow before. the silicon is a bit sloppy but whatever here you go.

[Laloosh]

HOLY SHIT...lol thats alot thicker than mine

[NYpest]

wow

[bova]

i couldn't get that shit to sand down anymore and i think the silicon makes it look thicker cause i have it up on the coupler itself to smoothe it out.

i measured and with the coupler the housing is about 2.5", what is stock?

[Laloosh]

2.62

[bova]

ok got a better measurment for you. its about 2.58

Can you explain how you did that? Did you just put something in there to the size you want then filled everything around it with silicone?

Mine is going on once the car is back and I would like to have this stupid mistake fixed. Corksport never called me back about the new MAF, so hopefully they get back to me tommorow.

basically i took a 2.75" coupler, cut it down the middle cause it was just a tad to big. then i cut a spot out near my cut down the middle for where the maf sits. then i put some silicon in the tube and then loaded up all the way around the coupler with it as well. its a messy job so have some garbage rags around. then all you have to do is slide it in and get is positioned just right. like loosh said you want about 1/4" of the coupler to go past where the maf sits. There is probably about an inch and to an inch and a half in front of the maf.

then when you have it in try and get some silicon in the cracks to make sure they are all sealed up, its tough to get the far end but i just put some on my finger and went around as best i could. once that is all said and done i would let it dry for at least an hour if not more.

last time i did it i don't think i waited long enough or put enough rtv silicon in cause when i took it apart today i noticed the front part of the coupler was peeling off the tube which leads me to believe some air was geting trapped under there and probably causing some turbulence and decreasing the size of the maf housing more.

since i fixed it today i haven't taken it out for a drive, i'm going to let it cure over night so i won't drive it til i head to work in the morning. but hopefully i don't have backfire anymore.

[bova]

new update for you. no backfires this morning since i fixed it. should also be hearing from corksport sometime today. (fingers crossed)

[ZoomMS3]

Still no call back..

corksport

[bova]

they called me yesterday and i'm waiting to hear back from kelly to see what they are going to do for me since i'm the first speed6 to have this problem.

[Rican219]

Still no call back here

[bova]

kelly called me yesterday and sent me an email. they are doing testing this weekend and she'll get back to me monday.

[bova]

ok so this hasn't been updated in a while but i just wanted to say that corksport was able to replicate my lean at idle issues and what not on another speed6 so they are sending me a new maf housing tomorrow.
