M44 guys, Want to Help Me Out?
« on: February 15, 2008, 10:43:59 AM »
I need the resonator bottle from the intake air box for some resonance tests I am running on my M42 MAF conversion.  I could use help in one of 2 ways.

1) Mail one to me if you have a spare / removed yours (I would suggest putting it back).  I can paypal you for the shipping and a few $ for your trouble.

2) Just post up a couple small info bits.  I need:
 - Total inner volume.  Easy, just fill it up with water and use a measuring cup or something to see how much it took.
 - Inlet diameter.  What is the outer diameter of the nozzle opening?
 - Wall thickness of plastic.
 - Largest inlet diameter.  I have seen pictures of them, and the inlet hole is tapered.  Just measure the approximate largest diameter of the inlet before it joins the resonance chamber.

If anyone could take pics of it from a few angles (OFF of the car), that would be really cool.

Thanks guys!

largest inlet diameter: 3''
smallest inlet diameter: 2 1/8''
plastic thickness: 1/16''

why are you suggesting we should put it back in?

sorry i just saw you needed info about the m44, not m42. the informations i gave you are for the M42.
if you still need it i have pictures of the m42 airbox

Thanks for the effort.  yeah, I am after the little resonator bottle the M44 motors have sticking out of their air boxes.  I have plenty of M42 junk in my garage lol.
