pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Hey guys... i was pondering on this idea last night... would i be correct in saying that if i found a maf sensor that had the same resistance/voltage values either end of the spectrum that i could swap it with the afm on my e30? or is there more to it than that? also anyone know a potential candidate? and what are the expected gains from doing this?

Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) If you want to try canibalise a factory part onto it, there are people in the US (which is a hard comparison to make when there cars are like chalk and cheese to ours) but they use e36 320i MAF's with a piggy back chip IIRC. MAPECU or something would be far better and worth the $ in the long run. Do a search, been discussed heaps on here/ have a look on e30tech thats where I found info. IMO Don't see the point in you modifying the M20 anyway Oli, save up for a M5x. Edited June 22, 2010 by Brams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andre3000 55 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 I used mapecu2 to convert to a maf sensor. Was around 900 all up but got great results, the accelerator was touchy as f**k!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Depending on the ecu/maf there are instructions online about how to do the conversion. I know of a couple people going from a flap resistor style MAF to a hotwire MAF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 yeah if i am going to have to piggy back the ecu and all i wont bother.. as nath said too much money on a m20. if i could throw one on that had the same reading values so the ecu didnt know the diff then i would. but if it involves much $$$ then no point.
