TurbochargedBerserker Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Since I've already relocated the IAT sensor, is there any reason to move the MAF to downstream of the FMIC?
orion :: SS Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Typically, no. The MAF will still read every bit of air entering the motor (ambient temp air enters, it's then heated by the compressor, then cooled by the intercooler and enters the motor...temp of the air at this point doesn't matter (except for performance), and 100% of the air entered via the MAF and was accounted for). The only reason I can see to move the MAF to after the intercooler is if you wantd to run a blow-of valve on the hot pipe and vent it to the atmoshere, to have a cool loud, WHOOSH sound. - Brian
zippy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 you may get a little better throttle response out of it being closer, but that's about it. on the other hand it's good to keep it close to the throttle body because if a tube blow's off the truck will still run ok, it just won't have any boost.
vette dude Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 you may get a little better throttle response out of it being closer, but that's about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, depending on the size of the IC it could affect throttle response real badly.
hellbents10 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 Right cannot lose by putting it as close to the TB as possible.
TurbochargedBerserker Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Posted January 18, 2005 Why would the moving the MAF affect throttle response? I can't get my brain around this one. Not trying to argue, so please explain this one to me.

Not trying to argue, so please explain this one to me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think the principle is on the same idea of filling a tank, i forgot exactly how corky bell said it.. with the maf further away, there is going to be a long pause before the air gets there... I remember reading it somewhere in maximum boost..
zippy Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 i'd go into the explaination, but i'm just too lazy to type that much...

zippy Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 lol, maybe i'll try to type it later. remind me later to give you my #...
