Hey Edelbrock, could you share the part number for MAF o-rings? When I checked my MAF to make sure it was clean, I noticed there was a small tear on the side.

For future part numbers you can also reference Pages 3-7 of the installation notebook. Each part included in the kit will have designated "P/N."
In the above case see: PG. 3, Bag #4, Item 6.

Please let our tech dept. know of the torn o-rings and we should be able to mail replacements right out.

Would a slight tear at the O-ring cause a rich environment with the engine compensating by running lean? Not an Edelbrock SC user but my O-ring has a slight tear but still intact otherwise and i'm getting -10 to -15% LTFT off throttle and idle.

@Edelbrock LLC any chance you guys sell that O-ring? Dealerships dn't sell it by itself only with a new MAF sensor unit :/

When I get home I'll try to remind myself to measure the o-ring for you - should be able to order one online.

PS. Thanks @Edelbrock LLC for sending me the replacement!

Sorry, we do not sell them individually, but can help with sizing.
Make sure to grab a BUNA-N type o-ring, which is specific for fluids and temps associated with automotive use. The MAF O-ring has a 22mm ID and 2mm width.

Stock MAF? We can mail you one.

Do you have any idea how long I have been looking for just this info? Holy crap thank you.

In case anyone else wants to order some...

Let's quote it too, so it doesn't get buried as easily!

Hi everyone!

I've lurked on the forums/reddit and seen quite a few posts from CSG Mike and am strongly considering purchasing an edelbrock supercharger for my 2014 FR-S. Few questions:

1. When looking at catch cans, it sounds like the PCV can collects quite a bit more blow by than the crankcase -do you feel both catch cans are necessary for an edelbrock charged car? Note I will be attending track days and have run rather quickly in intermediate sessions in the past.

2. I've seen some suggest purchasing new intake manifold/injector gaskets, what is your recommendation? Are there any other general maintenance items you'd recommend for the install?

3. I saw a couple members in this thread mention the jackson racing dual radiator greatly increased the IAT's for the edelbrock charger due to the intake inlet position relative to the radiator. Is this still an issue or was it resolved?

4. I see Delicious tuning is offering an "additional D box for the edelbrock kits" to smooth out the MAP sensor at the upper rev ranges. Does anyone have experience with this? (https://www.delicioustuning.com/node/536)

Thanks!
Colin

1. The Radium dual catch can setup kills two birds with one stone

2. If you're careful du ring your install, you'll be fine. If you want to "play it safe", it doesn't hurt to have a spare set on hand.

3. Not enough data to be conclusive, but you do need to make sure that you re-use your OEM foam on the radiator, or else the hot air in your engine bay can "recirculate" out around the upgraded radiator, when you're not moving.

4. What do you want to know? It effectively smooths out the signal.

1) I've opted to have just the PCV catch can since I didn't really find any residue from my crank-case side. This was based on 6k miles of mostly DD, canyon on weekends and 2 track days.

2) As Mike said, as long as you are careful during install. I didn't have any trouble, but better safe than sorry.

3) Have my own custom oil cooler + stock radiator, so can't comment.

4) I've been also interested based on DT's recommendation. I've been experiencing jerky daily driving and have seen the weird MAP fluctuations on my logs, so it maybe beneficial to improve driveability, but I could not justify the price for the tiny bit of hp gain.

Has anyone experienced good results with the DT additional D box? It sounds like a nice driveability mod, but am curious if it's too good to be true or not.... I haven't read about anyone who's installed it.

Edit: as a side note, DT is claiming a 10whp peak gain. Assuming that's accurate, it's a fairly decent HP/$ mod as well at just over 100$ for the part.

Thanks again!

Let us know when you're ready for your kit.

There's a $300 rebate through the end of the month.

Yes, I'm currently back on the CARB tune right now. I was running the DT tune for a while, and although it runs great at the track, the fuel economy is a bit lacking for daily driving. I've seen a 2 mpg difference (mostly city) between the two.

Also, @sales@delicioustuning.com can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the additional D-box is compatible with the CARB tune since its really just a "filter" to smooth out the MAP signal.
