I was referring to the air intake tubing... where the maf is connected. You said you sawzall’d it. Can you put the stock airbox Back on, or is the TB placement different now? Sry not familiar with E force.

I installed a 2300 Maggie on my 2010. Little to no whine, but I knew that while researching FI. I had a SC Nissan Xterra that had more whine. But, the added HP is awesome. If I remove the cover from the Cold Air Inductions intake, I'll get more whine. Still, would be nice to have the whine I'm used to but the power gains make up for it.

I just plugged in the rear o2 sensors and zip tied them to the trans cross member (I know not very professional). Would that have anything to do with the low power? Also I forgot to mention about the air intake assembly. I had a k&n cold air intake on the car before the supercharger. So instead of going back to the factory air box I cut down the k&n intake tube to make it work. Basically I shortened the tube by cutting it with a sawzaw around the maf sensor. Came out really nice and don't think it would have anything to do with the low power but thought I would put it out there for opinions

Can you post a pic of this MAF sensor placement?

Use a free hosting site like IBB and copy the link then paste it into your post.

Or just take the pic on your phone and use the little paperclip icon while you’re typing the post.

While I’m by far no expert I’m thinking as eLeSthree. By cutting the intake tube, and I believe you said by the maf, you may have disrupted it’s ability to properly monitor the air flow. There have been other post regarding maf placement and how critical it can be. Hope you resolve this soon.

Let me know if that picture came through

eLeSthree · 05-14-2018, 10:24 PM

Ues but its not clear. Use your phone camera, snap a pic of the MAF and tubing area. Then browse to this thread , hit reply, then click the paperclip icon and attatch the photo.

Any update from the OP?

Ok, so after weeks of trying to get the car to a Dyno... Still no luck. The local tune shop is too busy and honestly does not have the experience or positive reviews. I just don't feel comfortable taking my car to him. Another option I had was letting a local guy who has a insanely fast procharged 5th gen tune my car with up tuners n his laptop. Unfortunately we just haven't been able to meet up cause of interfering work schedules... I'm at wits end. My Camaro is slower before the supercharger install and I just flat out hate driving it. It was the only car I ever bought new and now it's running like shit, engine light is on and it's only got 22k original miles.... I'm considering buying my own laptop tuning software and attempting to run it myself. I have other cars and customer vehicles that would benefit from this if I can learn to do it myself. What are your thoughts on this? Also what tuning software would you recommend? The local guy uses hp tuners software and likes it.

You're not that far from Calgary.

I guess not, like 5.5 hours. I herd from other locals it can be difficult to cross the Canadian border with a criminal record. Even as minor as a DUI, Canada border patrol will not let u pass without some special pass from the Canadian embassy
