I removed that screen from the MAF, that thing is thick like 1/2 inch, I was like holy ****, no wonder you gain something, I do notice it when taking off and sounds nice to me also.
I got some of the tubler style exhaust manifolds I am a going to port, I have done this to some other parts on cars. I am going with the idea you match the gasket to the port area. So I am excited to do this, main goal in 6-8 months be pushing so turbo psi in the puppy. MIke

Your throttle body needs the MAF screen to get an accurate reading of the incoming air. If it can't read it all because of turbulence, you'll run lean. Only those with perfectly smooth custom intakes should even consider removing it.

Keep in mind the quickest daily-driven S1 L67'* and S2 L67'* run WITH screens.

Make sure your manifolds are correct for your car. Do you have an EGR? Probably not. Most 91-95 Series 1 manifolds have an EGR port.

And keep in mind, the exhaust ports in the heads are significantly smaller than the runner size in the stock manifolds. A very SLIGHT gain may be possible with stock heads, but I doubt you'd feel it on an L27. The only improvement would be in removal of a little bit of turbulence from the factory inner weld (assuming you re-weld the outside first and do it without warping the flange).

I have a smoth intake on it, a make up of the pipe of a honda and filter, the manifolds are off a 93' they look like mine and seem to be same style. I was condsidering the mod mainly to help with flow when turbo install. Well would it be beter to do a LIM rather then PEM, I also have the head of off 93, for springs and mill the heads, I am going right way here? Mike

I recommend putting the screen back in

What about the 93' head I had talked about springs on my L26 head, the responce was not parts but 93" head can fit and add springs to. Am I on the right track here?

What'* this L26 you're talking about? Are you swapping in a Series 3? What exactly are you asking?

I have a K engine,, pretty sure 92 bonn, stcok engine, I have alot of parts and stuff from a 93 engine, I am after putting the 93 heads on 92 block. To install rockers and mill heads some. That is point of thread.

1G2HX53L2N1302820 is VIN# so I have a L motor,

after installing my rice pipe and kn 4750 i remove my maf screen also because is was dirty and had a small dent in it after running 2 days whitout it a put it back in because throttle response was not as good and my gaz millage when down .so i just clean it and put back in much better now
