thunderbolt 150 Posted March 15, 2013 really the battery is in the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy2287 1,886 Posted March 15, 2013 Here's an idea. For this though you'll have to install the AFM inline, in the pipe. and run a pod filter behind the LH headlight. 1 robbie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZL. 19 Posted March 16, 2013 What i did was put battery in the boot and low mount the alternator, will try dig up pics.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoSVO 12 Posted March 16, 2013 I want to do a pod filter set up on my XF S pack (EFI 4.1) but i dont know how to by pass the sensor in the air box how do you do it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a FKn SEXUAL baby blue (horizon blue) XF. Jelly? =P not a burnout. I was getting the flat spots off the tires... Yep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gav 616 Posted March 16, 2013 Not quite what you're after but something like this may be possible with OHV engines The box behind the LHS headlight contains a pod filter.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it hard to make the swap to a map sensor ? hahahaha nah not jelly happy that im not the only one with a FKN SXY BABY BLUE (horizon blue D4) XF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy2287 1,886 Posted March 16, 2013 Mint! It looks g-spec! Cherish it! Hard is relative. In comparison to just relocating the AFM. yep it was hard. In comparison to say, fitting a non factory engine like an ls1, Id say its eazy. I would say time consuming. I used a megasquirt which is a hands on ECU. less then $500 to key on. open the engine up to receive all the other engine related mods soo. Investment if you ever plan of staying EFI 4.1 and making any decent power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSI_LTD 37 Posted April 24, 2013 just quietly, if you wanna do cai, for a performance gain, sort out the afm. that is by far the biggest restriction. if you're doing it for the noise or 'bling', move the battery to boot or route the pipe across the engine and drop the filter near the overflow bottle.

Perhaps convert to MAP-sensored E-series injection...has been done here (n00oobus m@x1mus) - avoid the AFM altogether...I've converted an E-series wiring harness for use in an XF for just this reason....hope it'll go okay...

PSI_LTD 37 Posted April 24, 2013 yeah, much better. and use the e-series manifold too (either type i think). micky, measure pressure drops across the std intake to find where the bottlenecks are. if you replace bits that aren't restrictions, you're just mucking around.
