maf to map?
 

how would one go from a maf to a map so that a na car could be turboed?
i found this but it dosen't make much sense

also would in a honda the map is in the throttle body right?
because if so would it be possible to just swap throttle bodies (because the stocker is tiny as ----)
to gain airflow and be able to use a map so i can boost?
also for 8-12psi would a 2 bar map be adequit? (i belive i read that a 1 bar reds up to like 10.5 and 2 bar is like 22psi or somthing?)
anyway i found 2 bar map's for like $30-50 on ebay brand new

thanks for the help

Yes you can go from maf to map. What motor set up is this?

Re: maf to map?
 

e-tec 2
1.6L dohc 103hp 107ft-lbs
6500rpm redline 6750 fuel cutoff
2005 aveo 5 speed

I dont know what kind of ems systems they have for aveo's. but my brother went from a maf to a map on his eclipse. But he is running a aem ems standalone. Totally got rid of his stock computer.

I think if you were to just put the maf in the charge pipe it would see boost, and you would be good to go!!!

Re: maf to map?
 

so your saying relocate the maf to the intake pipes instead of the intake manny so it reads the boost as a ---- tonne of vac?

that makes sence and the conputer already knows how to compensate for vacc as it is na but would i have to run larger injectors i am only looking for about 8-10psi maby 12 tops but as it's a stock engine with 105k i was just going to replace the stock hg with 2 mls hg's (stock comp is 9.5:1 so 2 stacked mls should bring it arround 8.6-8.8:1 and will be stronger than the stock, and while im at i i would want to go with arp studs, or would i just be better to go with arp studs and change them out one at a time so i don't have to pull the head?)

thanks for the help i have been getting flamed so much for wanting to turbo an aveo (i even got threatening pm's from some guy on here)

Re: maf to map?
 

one last thing, dose the maf read vac or air density?
if it measures vac then how do i know what it's reading limits are?
if it measures density then won't i need to have some way of "fattening up the mixture" as the revs build to compensate for boost?

i am sorry to sound like such a newb but i nave never worked with a turbo on a car that was not turbo stock

also i am looking for like 300-350cc injectors but i know they don't make them aveo specific (no aftermarket) but is there any out there that are similar enough to work?

Re: maf to map?
 

megasquirt FTW. I know youre not boosting that Aveo.. Or are you?

Re: maf to map?
 

no i really am boosting an aveo. or more like trying to, but i feel pretty confident i will get this figured out and running
but i admit i couldn't do it without hmt's help

Re: maf to map?
 

no, I would put the maf in the charge pipes, not the intake. charge pipes go in between your turbo and your throtle body.
