I did this to my 06 focus zx4. The only thing I bought was the new filter. I cut the same tube that has the mass air flow and moved it to right off the engine took like 20 minutes
Hi thanks for the video I wanted to give you some advise as a mechanic myself anytime you can reach a clamp get a 8mm socket and use a rachet or your drill impact to take them off the bottom clamp that you had to jack the car up for I got it with my little rachet and 8mm socket and that is the common size socket for hose clamps some do get smaller and bigger but not on the cars or reg trucks just wanted to give you that tip if you didn't already know that ok thanks
I’m gonna do the same thing but I’m gonna take the other part of the tube you cut in half and replace it to that bottom part where the stock filter is to get a better air flow too the filter
I WANNA THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR DOING A VIDEO ON THIS I DID THE SAME THING TO MY 06 FORD FOCUS MANUAL ZX3 AND LET ME TELL U DAMN IT WAS A HELL OF A DIFFERENCE DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND DOING THIS THANKS AGAIN
I also understand that the MAF and MAP will be “cross-referenced” in the ECU (I have a code for this now due to MAP & MAF readings not correlating…) so I’m curious as to whether or not you had any engine code, drivability issue, or fuel consumption increase since doing this, once again, due to the MAF being turned around 180 degrees. Thanks for any insight!
Turn the tube the other way around with the filter directly on it and the flexible new bit connected to the flexible old bit on the engine intake. Just did mine and had to swap it around to get my car to even accelerate into mid-rpms. CEL showed up while it was his way, so had to go to local auto parts and have them clear what was the MAF sensor. Bing bong, all is well since I flipped it around the other way. 07 Focus SE manual

Question I have a 2009 ford focus PZEV and if I do that will it have any issues or did you have any issues later on? I change the box to where I put an air filter on my car and it gave me a P0171 code and the transmission completely acted weird and I had to replace the whole thing back to original but that looks like a very simple and amazing fix to the air filter solution I would say.
You are just turning it from vertical to horizontal. As long as the the air is still coming in the same direction it's fine. Just make sure you don't turn that little tube the wrong way when you move it.
I did this and it idled perfectly fine but when i drove around the block the car kept almost shutting off and it ran terribly. I had to find a way to put it on the opposite way because the maf sensor cant just be turned around.
@@BlakesCars2when you say flip it… are you saying to rotate the hose so the MAF is on the battery side or are you saying to remove the MAF and simply rotate it 180* and screw it back in?
Doing the swap now. One question though… Did you notice a difference in fuel consumption, considering the MAF sensor is now backwards..? Doing this now, I’m not seeing how it wouldn’t affect the sensor being that there appears to be a clear inlet side to the sensor… TIA
Preferably and is what I did to my 2007 SES was install the Air Filter Housing SKP SK258519 fits 2005-2007 Ford Focus 2.0 2.3 DOHC, direct fit with replaceable air filter. This keeps the baffle and "Cold" air intake system, the only real issue with the original filter system was the inability to replace the filter. The rest of the system was designed correctly; was quiet and had true cold air as apposed to this method. I think the SKP housing costs about 80$ on eBay. I like to keep things as original as possible. This is still a decent mod just not one that I would do. Not myself interested in the additional noise under the hood.
Looked closely in yhe video, the coupler used was Spectre Performance 8751 Black 3"-2-1/2" Intake Tube Coupler Not sure about the filter, but any universal one should work imo

That is the BEST VIDEO YET !!!!!😮
Did my 07 fucus a few years ago. Took all the stock box and tubing out. Flipped the tube around, and maf sensor. Put on a cone filter. Done.
Love the svt rims. I literally bought those a few months ago off someone. Had to use spacers but i like the look it made my car look a little wider

I see your maverick videos- I’m one of the lucky ones who has an xlt ecoboost. Looking to do something like this on the Maverick!

What is the small side size on that coupler? 2.5”?
Tks for video is it Working for auto or just manual ?
What was the size of the coupler?
I bought the right air cleaner, but then guessed on the coupler…. And was wrong. What size is the coupler.
Hello,what is the year of your ford focus?
What cuppler did u use?

Wasnt the mass air flow sensor supposed to be in the other way, it looks backwards.
Thanks for the video. Since you made this video, has this setup caused any check engine lights?
No check engine light on mine

Are you sure that all the vac hoses were reconnected?
Did you have the MAF sensor in the correct way?
Would this make the mass airflow sensor backwards?
If you put the mass air flow backwards the engine won't stay on just turn it around
You are just turning it from vertical to horizontal. As long as the the air is still coming in the same direction it's fine. Just make sure you don't turn that little tube the wrong way when you move it.
No you have to have the mass air flow go the right way or it will not run right
I have verified that you put the MAF housing on backwards. I would bet that the car will not go faster than 30mph without stalling
But did it throw a code with the backwards maf?
I did this and it idled perfectly fine but when i drove around the block the car kept almost shutting off and it ran terribly. I had to find a way to put it on the opposite way because the maf sensor cant just be turned around.
@@codeybowen9619 how did you flip it??? I’m having that issue please help 😅

Hey brother, do you have part numbers for the coupler and air cleaner? Thanks!
Did you ever get that?

Why dose my car cut all power when accelerating after doing this ?
Flip the mass air flow sensor

“How to replace factory cold air intake with hot air intake”. All jokes aside it looks and sounds really good!
Doing the swap now. One question though…
Did you notice a difference in fuel consumption, considering the MAF sensor is now backwards..?

I just did this mod in less than 10 minutes. Don't act like your not impressed.
What a waste of an afternoon . There’s nothing “cold air” about this downgrade
You do not know a damn thing about these cars. Save yourself the embarrassment.
Explain.ive seen ppl post this comment on multiple videos
@@davidhiles1154 cold air is OUTSIDE the engine bay . That’s why ford has ducting and an airbox
@@BlakesCars2 I own one .
