MAF sensor placement ( as in right in front of the TB)

dscoobydoo · Post by **dscoobydoo** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 4:43 am

ok, just for shits n giggles, I was contemplating this.

All you experts - please throw in your .02 cents.

OK, what would happen if you moved the MAF to right before the TB? That way you could run an intercooler and put a BOV right there. ( before the MAF)

YES, there would be interesting plumbing issues, but I was wondering if anyone tried this, or has information that would make it a not-so-good mod.

It would open up some options for intake and the coffee mug mod.

Well, what do you think?

wouldnt the maf seeing boost cause mad problems?

dscoobydoo · Post by **dscoobydoo** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 6:32 am

I was wondering that, and if the increase in heat would make a difference.

This was just one of those - I wonder what would happen posts

But something to think about.

But would not there be a major surge across the MAF during boost anyway?

there shoudlnt be, as the maf doesnt see any boost.

Our MAF is a heated wire element so the added heat from the turbo would completely screw it up.

really doubt it would work reliably or properly

It's not calibrated for the changed position either and I'd bet that even if that weren't an issue and the excess heat didn't kill it that it would be way out of its range anyway.

Not to be an idea killer - keep thinking, you'll never know what you might come up with.

Doable, as long as you can write the programming.

Look at DSM's. They run hot-wire, GM 3" MAF's post turbo with atmospheric BOV's with no problems. I've not only seen it done, but I've been in a car that's got it done. It works, but you need a "translator" to have the readings mean anything significant.

It'd be easier to convert our cars to a MAP setup than to relocate the MAF.

I was thinking along those lines, other cars do it, but it was just a what if for shits n giggles

Hell, I do take donations for a new TEC3 system

Donations... genius! I'm also accepting donations for a similar cause

Paypal welcome lol

Paypal, cash, check, hell, I do not care.

And I will even put a small decal on my car with your name and donation amount.

Just don't ask where and how big
