Hi All.
I know these are most often on a TD42 motor - but has anyone been able to install a Fatz Box on ZD30 CRD? I know this would mean some way to deal with the MAF ...
I'm just curious. Fat are saying is doable. But it's a chunk of money so I don't want to discover after it arrives that it won't fit and won't work...
I have a stock Nissan Snorkle. Fatz are saying that's fine - I would just need to cut out the hole in the guard to 4".
Thoughts? I you have managed it on a ZD30 - how is it?
Ta!

It can be done.
Simply cut the square flange off the front of the maf housing and place a bit of silicone tube between the air box and maf housing..
Not recommended though for Di as the maf sensor is pretty critical and the inline filters / mesh screens soften the air over the maf.
Crd doesn't seem to be as touchy but you may get some limp issues with maf voltages spiking under hard acceleration..
Nothing a remap can't fix though..

What the hell is that mate? Sounds dirty....

Also - what did you end up with Threedogs? I know you did a lot of investigation. What has been your results? Any improvement in economy?

Havent been well enough to fit it, I have a spare MAF here I'd like taken out a bit.
