1.8 maf on 1.6
 

heya few of you will prob of read a previous post of mine asking if anyone had done this before (fitted a 1.8 hotwire maf sensor on a 1.6 without stand alone)

anyway after a few people said it wasn't possible i thought id give it a go after about 8hours messing with an oscilloscope and a voltmeter and a voltage inversion modual i got the thing to run but was rather lumpy so i took it for a run and it didn't really run all that great and seemed to have a few flat spots

so ill stand corrected it wont work not correctly anyway

but goin on to what some one mentioned in my previous post im using a HKS F-con mini (picture below) a member said i dont need a air flow meter and am able to use a map sensor can someone tel me if this is correct and how i go about doin it thanks lee

I believe it only works in conjunction with the HKS VPC which is no longer available.

I originally thought that's what you had and not the F-Con.

does anyone know if i am just able to remove it completely if i connect the fuel pump relay switch wires together and connect up a temperature sensor to the appropriate wires

Sure you can, just don't expect your car to run.

What did you do for an AIT sensor during your "experiment"?

i removed one from an old 1600 air flow meter and cut a hole in the pipe

since i posted above i have been doing a little more research into the voltage inversion modual i used and it appears it is the correct one for the job so i have bought a different one and ill try again

please any suggestions/constructive criticism are welcome

lazzer, is that you?

:rofl: :bigtu:

This can be done with the proper electronics. I don't care what anyone says. But is it worth the time/effort?

iv about given up on the idea to be honest i think iv been defeated ill just move my airflow meter out of sight either to inside the front bumper running a pipe from my turbo inlet and cut a hole in my inner wing and then run a pipe round (the longer pipe shouldn't affect it that much with it been forced induction) or in the scuttle panel and cut a hole behind my washer bottle(right hand drive) and refit the carbon fiber panel i have (this would also get alot more cool air)

alot will prob. think im stupid and why not just run a stand alone
its not the fact i can't afford too its just that a friend is using a hydra nms on his and is having nothing but problems and seen as mine runs so well i would ideally just rather change a few little thing that a relatively in expensive and can be easily put back if the prove not to be any good

my $300 Megasquirt has been working out just nicely :gay:


you could try fitting it doing something like this:

Hmm, any idea what size/model # that filter is?

will prob. do something like that

k&n Ru-5111, I believe I sold it to him :gay:

i would watch out if you're gonna cut your wheel well like that. I orginally did and when i lowered my car with the 2" pipe in there it would rub hardcore. given that my car is retarted low it wouldnt of worked......for me.

mine is stupidly low as wel so im gona av to check clearence before i start cutting holes
