help wanted, does my MAF need changing

[GREG_R84]

My LCR is on a custom code stage 2 and seems to be running fine. However BHP is down to 219 not its usual 258 and the MAF is only sucking in 178 g/s. Torque is normal at 287 ft/lbs and so is the boost peaking at 22.6 psi. Im under the impression that the MAF should be reading around the 212 g/s? Can anyone help me with this. Iv checked all the pipes and cant see / hear any boost leaks either

maf is under reading mate, lc stage 2 is around 180g/s yours should be as said 210gs upwards.

 

[GREG_R84]

so a trip to euro carparts should cure the problem them?

 

[james walker]

yup...

 

[GREG_R84]

Thought so, cheers James

sorry for the stupid question.

but regarding 'general' maf talk....


is 212g/s on full throttle?

or idle...

 

[Joeb]

im kinda having the same problem you see


ive got a revo stage 1
torque is around 260-270 but bhp is only around 238....

ive got a Liquid gauge which gives me a realtime reading of the MAF.

so was just wondering what i should be looking for.... under full throttle, idle, blah blah....

That's at WOT (wide open throttle) I hope....

 

[Joeb]

lol, full throttle.....thought as much

 

[GREG_R84]

210 g/s and above should be on full throttle and like you im taking the reading off a liquid gauge

 

[Joeb]

thanks.

will check it out.


will you be going for a straight replacement or are there upgraded MAFS available?

 

[james walker]

any high maf reading will be on throttle, think of your induction sucking air in, on idle minimal air, soon as you blip the pedal it sucks air in, the g/s is the air measurement.

maf should increase through the rev load and peak at 210g/s plus for lcr stage 1/2

 

[james walker]

thanks.

will check it out.

no maf upgrade available, oem is fine if it works right....

stick to bosch not any other brand

 

[GREG_R84]

thanks.

Straight replacement, swap your MAF for a reconditioned one from euro carparts. I think there about 58 kwid

smashing

lol

im only getting 182 on max revo boost :-s

more shopping needed
