Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
removing the "honey comb" on a MAF in any car I have ever witnessed does nothing but get rid of a negligible restriction, a perhaps unnecessary filter, and a rumored "flow straightening" design. Leaving it in is a free mod that's guaranteed not to ---- ---- up. Only time I would get rid of it is when replacing the maf table and moving the sensor to a plain aluminum tube of a + size to make it meter perhaps more air.

Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
The 'thinking' thing I've done one or two thousand times has lead to things called 'wisdom' and 'insight'
I'd rather build a $10 freq-volt converter, and get a 3" GM MAF on the cheap, than ---- around with MAF clamps. It'll require you to find that pesky trip point in your code you are trying to bypass, but...

Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
This update to my tune was free JD. And I think it is reasonably safe... got beef with it?
my setup = time + money
I am currently trying to use my leisure TIME to bypass my hard earned MONEY.
I also updated my tuning "capabilities" as homosexual as they are, to encompass any ODB1 6cylinder BMW made.
Time to find a local non homo with a 4cyl for me to play with up at UP.

Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
I have taken Subaru JECS MAfs and modified them to the 400 whp subaru level.
Before.
Filling exterior with epoxy
Milling out
Aftermilling
Hits 5 volts at 28-30 psi? Don't know the actual flow #s, but pretty darn good.

Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
I'm not criticising, but like I said it's wisdom and insight developed over years.
Look at my original posts on pgmfi to see the sort of ghetto *** trash ideas I cut my teeth on. Not so different from what you are doing, you are learning valid lessons.
Now, go fist a chicken.

Re: Modifiying Stock MAF's!
You can't beat a GM maf, and if you get the right conversion setup (such as like the mafT used on DSM's) it can be used as a blow-through setup with very good results. I've seen more than a few DSM setups run a 61mm compressor and larger with a GM blow-through at numbers as high as 30-35psi.
