Thanks.

much better design, bigger diameter, more airflow, will allow more boost without maxing out.

 

[hmmm]

Can it be used with the standar ECU? For example ... If the car is running 1 BAR, will using the Z32MAF make any difference at all using standard ECU, Injectors etc... Only mods are Exhaust, Filter and boost raised to 1 BAR via Bleed Valve, Dawes Device or Boost Controller.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic . Can start a new post if you want ?

Thanks ;-).

At what boost does the standard afm max out at........is it only going to be necesary for heavily modified engines??

Hi,

im running max 1.35 boost with standard which is ok, when I had it mapped I asked Abbey about this and they said it was capable, I am fitting z32 as further mods are being done at the moment

The standard MAF can max out at anything from around 1 bar upwards ( 1.2 bar seems to be the norm ), depending on what kind of intake you have. Some people run 1.4 bar no problem, others only 1.0 bar.

You can't use a Z32 with a standard ECU only, as the signal it gives out is different from the standard AFM and the engine will run too rich. You need some kind of fuel controller to use one with the standard ECU, or a programmable ECU.

Well wont bother getting it until the emanage is on and mapped........:roll:

Yeah i have to run mine on the S-AFC and when you select the stanard AFM you can see how it is totally going to read it wrong and it wont idle either but apart from that i have only noticed a drop in spool up time which is handy and easy enough to wire up also. ;-)
