Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

EJOUIE"s 2005 Impala

I have torque.... I wonder what it shows on my N/A '04 stock, lol.

Nice Imp, BTW, looks sharp.;)

I'm interested as well, lol and it can also help with this "experiment" by comparing both of our readings, see the difference between stock and FWI, and I'll take a reading later with just the filter on the end of the MAF, and that directly off the TB. lol

Now we just need a FWI L36 with Torque. Lol

Kaiser, if you want to post your findings then go for it. More evidence to claim that our readings are crazy, but consistent would be helpful.

I gotta go remember where I put my bluetooth OBD2 plug-in...., hopefully I can find it, lol.
 
silly but if i pulled up both your bins i could tell you what your maf should be reading at 2,000 rpm's. none of this is relevant to a tune either.
 
So, we may have found a bug in the torque app. Got it.

Scotty, is a stock 2005 LS bin all you need?

But comparing mine and Kaiser's will give an extra dimension to the comparison between stock and FWI/HAI.

It it's measured by the same process, regardless of the validity of that process, it will still show the differences in flow.
 
ok then, you guys can both dl tiny tuner and the bins, and then scan with the t app and see if its the same as your bin. if your both stock it should be with in reason of what the bin says. cause thats what you change when you maf tune.
 
Whoa. Just whoa. We don't (seem to) care (right now) how close to reality we are... as long as it's scaled the same, it will show which intake flows better.

That WAS the entire point of posting the readings we got from torque. Now it's a debate on how to accurately measure the air flow. Lol

So you definitely have more flow at WOT, but at cruising we are all very close.

Surprised at the the stock l26 TB makes that much of a difference over an l67 TB

Seems like temperature truly is irrelevant compared to velocity and flow. I am kinda leaning toward just swapping the bellows for some smooth pipe and keep the stock airbox.

Still curious to see what happens with just a filter and no bends.

His maf is different then ours too.
And nine isn't a stock L67tb, it's zzp's l67hvtb, it has no screen Infront of the maf so idk it might not be reading the cfm as accurately as a tb with a screen.

Mine should really only be compared to Kaiser's readings, once he gets his posted... The difference between series 2 and 3 intake sensors is quite a bit.

I'll take a reading with a HAI once I get a new coupler... Filter, maf, tb. Lol
 
I got to much crap in the way to strap my big filter on the tb. Mines a 45 degree bend and being 4" I doubt it would be much difference.
 


I wonder how much of a restriction the stock air box actually is.

Mighty car mods has a video about this except they used the stock air box with some aftermarket piping. Thinking that the issue with stock is the bellows hurting velocity. Flow and temp are not problems.

I have an 05 box lol. Grimsin got 1320 at WOT with his setup. That's only 140 over my stock setup. Going to see how close I can get with only smoothing out the air once it exits the box. Looking to keep the box as it is quiet. Unless it proves to be a restriction. An open cone would be loud.
