Stupid MAF/MAP sensor question

[BDKR]

Since I've finished my +T, one of the things I've been promising myself is that I would come back and do a proper inlet tract in comparison to the abortion of thrown together bits I have now. One thing that would be nice is removing the MAF from the airflow stream alltogether, but I figure the only way that would be possible is if I could convert to a MAP sensor.

Come to think of it, it would also allow me to use this compressor mounted BOV plate thing.

Is it possible to convert to a MAP type setup with an LH box?

If not, can anyone who has done it give me their experience with taking the guts out of a 016 MAF sensor and putting it inside some 3 inch pipe?

Cheers,

the device you're looking for is called a VPC

Cool! Thanx for the info.

I began digging for VPC info but it seems that HKS no longer makes any. It doesn't appear they had a Universal version anyway. Now GSC has their Map ECU stuff, but that's 600 bucks! No thanx!

I hear it's possible via an SAFC to use a MAP sensor, but I'm not sure I like that idea after Toby's experience. Any thoughts along those lines?

Anyway, back into the garage.

vpc actually converts it to speed density (to a degree), afc is used mainly only for fine tuning things, it doesnt really convert so much as it just modifies

95' 960 AMM works on Lh 2.4 cars just FYI ... its the other fix for fuel cut and more flow

What's the diameter of that thing? I guess I'll start looking around.

3" .... wow you missed out on the last year of tbricks ... it was all 2.4 guys talked about... i had two for sale a while back and no one wanted them so i junked them

LOL! Oooopppps! :oops: I actually remember a lot of the talk but I think I was focusing on other things that I was unclear on. On the intake side, the idea was to go stock in the beginning so I didn't really pay it too much attention.

makes sense ... do a search a lot of info should come up, tho i know even more of the talk about it was offline between me and a few others.... for some it works .. others it doesn't

Well, it looks like I got one tracked down. I'll let you know how it works out once I get it in the car.

Thanx!

If I recall correctly didnt your car not take to the 960 amm very well?
