Default Update to last weekend's project: custom MAF

Took a few hours to turn/mill, but it's all worth it in the end. This is a custom 88mm MAF housing which I will be using with the hitachi MAF sensor, with REVO software.

The OEM S4 housing is starting to look really small.

Still need a couple of mounting holes drilled in it

And one more

RS4 housing with mounting plate for Hitachi Sensor (up for grabs)

I'm pretty sure I measured it to be 82mm, but not perfectly round. less than 80mm around the screen.

Default Well, not really, just had to be turned from a solid 5" piece (plenty of waste).

Took about 5 hours in total, but, I was in no hurry to get it done.

We used a 1.5" boring bar to turn the inside.
All of the ODs were turned on a lathe, except for the OD that is part of the mounting surface. This section was left at 5", and then put on a two-axis mill.

Then that section was milled .010 biggger than the major OD, and that is why there appears to be a little step all the way around the mounting surface diameter.

There was a 2" section on one end, to keep the part strong, as well as to have something to clamp to. After it was all milled/turned, we cut the 2" piece off.

I almost don't want to put it in, looks too good!
