Where can I get one of these to replace the stock 02'.. I don;t want a plastic one, something polished would be nice.

Something kinda like this

 

For the lulz http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAF-3-HOUSIN...f49479&vxp=mtr

 

That one says 3" housing, what is the size of the stock housing on a 03 3.5?

 

lol, 3.5" is $20 more

I think stock MAF size is 2.75.. I don't know that I can go 3.00 with the JWT pop charger adapter tho.. Still trying to figure out if that would work..

 

So you want a 2.75" MAF, thats not the nissan one? That doesnt make much sense. The whole point of getting an aftermarket MAF is to get a bigger one for the performance gains.

Also, if it comes from eBay, it probably isnt that great.

 

No I do want bigger if it will work, I've been searching all over and still haven't found my answer. I am looking to get a little more out of my intake, I plan to get a SAFC II or something similar to calculate and control the air flow. On top of that a 2+ deg advance timing..

For the 3.5" or even a 3.0" MAF tube I think I would need a custom Flange (adapter) for the pop charger.

I saw a dyno on the org where a member got gains nearly across the whole curve with this and several other mods. Without the custom IM he was at 265whp and 280whp with the custom IM. Pretty impressive

 

Yeah check out the all motor section of the forums. There is info about using bigger mafs and a tune, definitely makes power. As far as a flange, you could probabyl get something made up, or just ditch the pop charger and get a frankenintake with a Apex'i cone filter (integrated vel stack)

 

I just bought the pop charger before thinking about going with a larger MAF tube. Shoulda maybe waited, but oh well. There's gotta be a way to use the pop charger with a larger MAF. I'll continue to search.

 

i didnt mean 3.5" i meant what is the stock maf housing size for my VQ35DE engine? i would like to the stock size housing in aluminum to make my injen intake look better.

 

oh i know, but 3.5" seems to be the fav size upgrade from what ive seen. no idea what size stock is

 

3.5 is what im using. I put down 264 on a 3 inch, and with the 3.5 inch ive put down 267. While the peak was a gain, it lost a bit of low end. Through more tuning, it holds the same peak, BUT i have picked up considerably more down low. 10-15whp from 3000rpm all the way up to 5500 where it hits peak, and maintains pretty much to 7k redline.

Its a worthwhile mod if you have a means of tuning. Pics are in my links of a similar setup.

 

That's good info. What size filter are you using and how does it connect to the MAF? Where did u get the 3.5" MAF?

SAFC should be enough to tune for now wouldn't you think?
Damn dude, you have 3 Maxima's? Was looking through the pics and saw them.. Sweet Max by the way, looks real nice
