Operation Relocated MAF: Underway

[Fagwagon]

what is the value of relocating the MAF?

You get essentially the same effect as going to a larger MAF housing(with the same tuning required to compensate for the different airflow readings), and you can safely VTA your blow off valve..

[Fagwagon]

Oh Ic what are the other options...where can I find a larger maf?

[Buildabong]

cpe has a 3inch maf

[Fagwagon]

couldnt find it on their website...

[Buildabong]

i think u have to ask bout it

[ATE BALLER]

You have to call them and ask for it specifically. Or you can peice one together using an ebay maf housing for a subaru, a filter, some clamps, and a coupler for about half the $$$. I think the housing itself is like $90, then the filter, coupler, and clamps are cheap.

OHH yah im going to do that... the have a 3.25" can i use this with the AP and just recalibrate the MAF??

[Buildabong]

dont know, maybe.. u should be able to, the ap has that table right?

[superskaterxes]

yes u can recal with the AP

[SpeedSixxx]

ate, tell me please..

ur throwing ptp mani and what turbo on your stock block?

and more importantly how many miles u have on the car?

[ATE BALLER]

Darksun's old T60-1

~61,000

For now anyway.

well ty very much!

55,000 miles and a GT35R with Medievil mani.

good luck to you and good luck to me!

[bcmurphy87]

wire crimpers ftw lol i know its ghetto but is it really worth the paper other wise?

[SpeedSixxx]

super excited!!! throwing my shit on car so0o0on

[nighthawk358]

any updates on this?

[ATE BALLER]

Had to replace my alternator, so I took the oportunity to replace my turbo and manifold at the same time. Blow-thru runs awesome with a tune though. Smooth as an ice-sculpted titty.

[Darksun280]

good job Im gonna move the maf to my cold pipe on my nissan.

[ATE BALLER]

You won't regret it. Slapping a filter right on the turbo w/o any piping is going to be a big improvement imo. Yeah, it's hotter air, but the spool-up should take no time at all. My ic can deffinately handle the higher temps as well. I think it's probly still the best one on any of these motors. My only flow restrictions left are the IM, TB, and the head. I'll have to get my fuel system finished before I touch either of those though. Then I can really see if the stock block can handle ~400hp.

your playing with fire boy lol. Well if you blow before the 16th i wanna buy back my turbo lol.

[ATE BALLER]

lol, if I blow, I'll be building a motor and going with a retarded turbo anyway, so ok.

[SpeedSixxx]

400 AWHP on stock block...

lets see who does this first.

[blaggah]

Any updates on this? Will you make a "How To" on this topic?

[Fagwagon]

ATE, your car running yet?

If so you should com to the boeing meet this sunday.

Nice work on relocating the MAF. I saw you don't have an AP, which is too bad. Do you log with a DH then? I look forward to seeing some WOT logs, and how well your ECU hits your target WOT afrs. Good luck with finishing it up.

I was thinking it may be a problem with the AP if the output voltages were higher. That is, if the aftermarket MAF went from 0-6 or 7 volts instead of 0-5. That might screw you. If it went from 0-4 volts, you could just scale it. I think they're the same though, right? Do all MAFs go from 0-5v?

he isn't using an aftermarket maf, he is using the stock maf.

I thought he was using a Subbie one or something that is the similar to our stocker? Is it identical to our stock MAF with longer wires, or did he cut it open, and just extend them? I don't see the stock one reaching over that far, but then again I never tried. Do you know if all MAF's run voltages from 0-5?

I've never seen a MAF that didn't have a 0-5v output..

Thanks man, I had no clue... first car I've ever tuned. Good to know.

[bova]

the stock one can reach quite far actually, just have to unclip some things, no cutting wires necessary. he is using a subie maf housing.
