JonnoHR31 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 yer bigger pipe would flow more air at the same afm voltage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/366729-air-flow-meter-after-turbo-right-before-throttle/page/2/#findComment-5850936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simons987 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 A suggestion if its for for a track car is to change ecu and get rid of the AFM and go MAP, I would personally stick with the AFM and keep it in stock position track car or street. Depending on the amount of power your making and CFM you require unless your car is making near 1000hp a setup like this will make 5% difference in your setup.. As Status mention he literally needs to cut and epoxy the afm on the cooler piping to avoid it popping off and for a track car you'd be putting so much more stress on your setup then.

XRATED Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I was actually thinking of getting an alloy 'jiffy' box welded onto the cooler pipes to house the board.. But hey, if epoxy works- I'll give it a go.

D_Stirls Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Has anyone looked at using one of the ford lightning AFM elements. you can just use the element itself or you can get them with an element and a housing. They are around $200 and they support 800hp in NA applications. Nistune has the VQ maps for them provided in the VQ table, so finding the VQ scales wouldn't be hard.

BlueRB240 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 90mm Ford Lightning maf in a 2.75" pipe. too small needs to be at least 3" or 3.25".
