Pressurised MAFs

[sorens2]

I might have a used HKS on hand

[sorens2]

This is how mine is placed

Doug,

The ECU heats up the wire in the MAF 100 degree C above the inner MAF temperature (it's got a sensor for that) and then measures the current it has to run through the wire to keep it at that temperature when air goes through it. more air mass, more current needed to keep the wire at the same temp, voila, this is how it measures air mass.


So having 20 degree C above ambient temps through the MAF is going to be no big problem, the wire is gonna be a little hotter but that's it...


Cheers,


Mihnea

I have fitted my MAF in the boost pipe. Car runs fine, it even feels better throttle response, the car picks up very quickly. The car is feeling better than ever. It feels so fast, the power is just insane. I need to not drive it every day as thats what makes me crave for more power

No breather oil problems at all? I imagine the wire gets contaminated by the breather oil easily this way.

Got any pics Tom? I was curious to see where your MAF and dump valve ended up.

[4WheelDrifter]

A short TB to MAF will improve throttle response, that's for sure.
Glad it's working out.
Dump valve could even be a dump to air before the MAF.

[audiman]

Yeah i will use my old bailey dump to air DV. It fits ok, will post pics once i have i taken some. cheers lee for the hoses. didnt xpect them untill tomorrow. nice work.

The long awaited pictures

[audiman]

and

[4WheelDrifter]

Nice one.
I think i'd be tempted to put some sort of stone protection in front of the MAF.

[Greg_S]

I was just thinking the exact same thing, its a bit vulnerable there.

[audiman]

It has the grill covering it when bonnet shut, no more vunerable than the IC?

[RIX]

why 4wheeldrifter the front grill should be enough.
looks great audimann

[4WheelDrifter]

I'm just thinking about the state of my front rad. I don't want Tom's MAF to suffer the same.
