Moved MAF

[funktownp5]

I moved my MAF to the cold side of the charge pipe and couldnt be more

happy with the results (thumb). The car is alot more responsive to the throddle

and best of all NO MORE BACKFIRING!

I thought on F/I cars, the MAF was supposed to go after the BOV anyway...just an observation lol, I don't know how u had it set up b4, but I see a lot of pics on here w/ the MAF sensor after the BOV...cuz the engine gets less air than it "thought" it was getting...

can you go into more detail as to the changes that you have experienced. I have been thinking about trying this also.

Do you have any problems with stalling?

what do you use to tune?

The only reason I havent done this yet is that I have always been concerned as to how I would have to change my MPI tune...

 

[joka1]

mpi........... the tune isnt that much diffrent......... the maf still sees the same amount of air.

 

[aMaff]

Only difference is that the engine is actually getting that air now lol

I did have problems with the old setup, i would have to drive the car a certain

way for it not to stall. The best change is that is there is no more backfiring,

and it doesnt hesitate whenever im cruising and all of a sudden go WOT.

Im using E-manage and a voltage clamp. My street tune should be ok because

i wasnt using the MAF to tune off of anyways.
