MAf converter

Converts 4000-11000 HZ into a 2-5 volt signal

Use on MAF supported apps. Some testing getting done on a NA C6 high compression 90 octane.

Looks Very nice Julio!! Looks like it may even hold a little more?

PS: Did you receive the new resiviors I sent ya?



SW.
 
Razor, please fill me in on some info for the MAF converter. Is this similar to a MAF Translator?

Not really. The translator allows using a MAF from a new car to be used with your old car by converting the frequencies. This is as far as i'm going on this.

On Ford kits, like a 2003 Cobra for example.. I use the MAF not MAP for the alky. The reason is a roots blower can make 18 lbs of boost at 2000 RPM's and stay at 18 to 4000 RPM's, then climb to 25 lbs at 6000 rpm's. Totally unlinear. So what happens is dialing the alky can get weird on those cars if you run them on MAP. The turbo and centrifugal cars dont have that issue as you cant make 18 PSI at 2000 RPM's for example.

The Ford MAF works on voltage 0-5, The GM MAF works on frequency 0-11,000 hertz. Some less, some more. So on applications where they have a large MAF and roots blower like a magnusson/radix/eaton/whipple/etc.. they now can run the alky of the MAF and get better tracking. As long as the blower doesnt max out the MAF.

The stock Buick MAF is a bad candidate as it maxes out really early.. 255 gm's of air.. and the turbo's typically by the time any real injection is needed is way past that capability.. this is why the kits are done with MAP... a 3 bar MAP in the case of a Buick.

Not to say a C6 MAF used on a Buick with a translator may offer promise.. but havent gotten that far into it. And the chip tuning that would ensue. Which is already figured. But some testing will be done.

In a nutshell, the MAF converter changes a band of frequencies from a GM MAF to a voltage useable by my controller. So alky can be tracked with MAF.

So there are GM MAF's like from the new C6 Vette's for example that can take advantage.

Thanks for asking.. have some other stuff in the works.
 
+1 on info on this question.

What is the question? Whether I have OEM TR GM reservoirs... answer yes.

Or if the new one holds more capacity.. yes it does at 16 more ounces.
