I just want a list and pics
I thought this as well. Maybe he's talking about a new car.
guys, its not a turbo. Its also not a new car.
the car has been gone since september of last year, so this was really a last ditch effort to improve driveability for the sale. I sort of planned this as my last set of changes, so its been planned for. Its also not that expensive. However, I figured I might as well keep it if the driveability was a good as it appears to be.
lets just say that the new ford maf's are good for some things, and huge power isn't one of them.

Ford MAF's will make plenty with a MAFia
i guess that depends on your definition of plenty. 500rwhp? sure. 550rwhp, probably.
Above that, I'll let you try it and find out.

I'm putting a GT MAF sensor and MAFia on my turbo conversion this week. I nearly pegged out a BA2400 in draw-through with an itty bitty used GT40 turbo.
And I left the nitrous system intact with the nozzle installed between the MAF sensor and the throttle body.
But Oli's is probably stronger......
Joe
Joe, like we spoke of earlier, 6.4ish is the max voltage of the meter, if you can make your power under that without pinning it internally you will be golden. Id say a 4" pipe is a must. In a 3"od pipe we are hitting the maf internal voltage cap of 6.4ish by 5000. anything higher on a mafia setting of 4 does nothing. Setting 4 is your 6.5v=5.0v. Good luck Joe, and let me know how things come out so we can compile our data. I have a saddle coming from Justin @ VMP for the Lightning/BA/Cobra style meter and will be flow testing them with Mike @ LM in different size pipe to see what there limits are also. PMAS also has a cyclone "lab grade" meter on its way out to me to test also.
Quad: Just a thought but why dont you get a GT500 (or Ford GT) MAF element and plug it in to your current housing. That would allow you all the head room you would need.
I was using the GT Supercar maf cartridge in this instance.
so, any further updates yet or what? :shrug:

Thats what is in it. A gt500/supercar maf only has 5% more head room, plus like i said it has a 6.5 voltage cap, which really limits its range with a mafia.

its not that easy man. Kevin is doing some pioneering right now :coolman:
i see. that's cool. i thought you were just building suspense or something 
hope all goes well!
hope all goes well!sorry to sound stupid...well, i just read the whole forum but i could barely understand what it all meant because i dont know what a MAF is....can someone please explain it and maybe i'll understand what you guys are talking about...
thanks
thanks
ok thanks....i forgot about that search thing...sorry

mass air flow sensor......
Yep. The simple defininition is the MAF is a device that essentially measures the mass of the air flowing through the intake and reports back to the ECM so it will know how much fuel to command at the injectors.9blackcobra9 said:
In high hp fi cars it's possible to flow so much air that you "peg" the MAF so that it becomes ineffective above a certain rpm. Personally I've always wondered how all those high hp cars you see in the mags get around this problem? There must be a common solution 'cause you see plenty 800+ hp cars in these rags but they never do a tech/how to article on how to defeat this issue? :shrug:
