There really isn't a benefit at those power levels as the stock MAF's are capable of handling the airflow just fine.

Think of it like this: if you have a stock car, there's no point in putting in bigger injectors right? Same thing with the upgraded MAF's...they only provide a benefit at high horsepower levels (600+whp).

Thanks Mike, I figured so but I read this from a vendor's website and got confused

.... If you're adding Forced Induction you will be out flowing the factory MAF sensor. We've designed this MAF sensor to meet those needs.

That is true if the forced induction designer fails to compensate for the higher airflow of the turbo/supercharger by increasing the diameter of the MAF tubing. Of course you can only increase the diameter so much before you start running into other issues (fitment, resonance, turbulence, etc.).

This is a great read, guys. Good stuff!

I was under the impression that the upgraded MAF had improved resolution for those in the 300-600 power range over the stock MAF and that there were some advantages even if you weren't over the maximum flow of the stock MAF. Then again, most of my knowlege (what little I have) is on the 350.

Just for chuckles - maybe you need 4 intake tubes and equal flow tubing so that you can have 4 MAF's to get he flow per MAF back down into the higher resolution range of each MAF (not serious). I can see how the need for resolution could grow exponentially when you're talking about increasing the operating range almost four fold. Especially since you're talking about a device that is sensing temperature differences of air passing by a heated wire. At 28+ psi boost, you're facing a 3 fold increase in flow over normal atmosphere, right (14.7psi atmosphere + 28psi boost)?

Anyways, keep up the good work, guys. And keep dropping the technical info in threads like this. It's a great read for dummies like me that are trying to learn!

Bullitt: What brand electronic exhaust cut-outs are you going to use?

Not sure yet...

x.x i want.

Grats on the positive results......

i stand corrected. Once complete, your project will push the envelope and possible be a benchmark for tuning and performance

Bullitt we need photos of your car @ SEMA ...

he's going widebody, rear fenders are not done yet.

Sam, any news on the transmission upgrades..

What's the update on the GT-R manifold?

1slow370 · 11-13-2011, 10:46 PM

there are only so many things you can do with the same number of cells in the graph. we would need bigger maps to maintain the same level of resolution as the stock setup, so it is amazing what they have done with tuning. one of the good reasons for having that fcon sitting in box for later with a car of this level
