Gm Maf

if I wanted to change my stock MAF to a gm one what is the best way of doin that?

It's quite easy really... All you need is a GM MAF off the proper vehicle and a MAF Translator and it's all mostly plug and play so long as you know how to put it into your piping for a blow through setup... It will also give you a wider range for tuning, which isn't too hard either, as long as you know the basics to proper tuning of it...

I didn't read through the article that Garrett posted, but I gave it a quick skim and it looked to be a good detailed one for ya to use.

What did you mean by, being careful you know how to put it into your piping for a blow through setup?

I didn't say "being careful" anywhere?... I was talking about putting the MAF in your upper intercooler pipe which makes it a blow through setup. Rather than being before the turbo and reading the air going INTO the system, the blow through setup meters air passing THROUGH the system... A bit more accurate and it allows you to change your setup around a little bit.

Did you guys knwo that you can just buy a cable that connects to your stock MAF plug and then connects to a 3" gm MAF? And the poeple who sell them say you dont need a MAF translator?IS this true? becasue i would rahter havea 30 dollar cable than a 200 ugly box?

Link?

what tfoti ment was u need 'link/aem tunning to make it work... but yeah, save the $170 on the Translator, get yourself a $200 Eprom and the $600 Link set up and you'll be blowin' off loud as hell! and saving money TOO! just kidding! dont do that! get the Translator, its made and sold for a reason... also, not one mitsubishi can and i mean NOT ONE can plug into anything GM...

What is wrong with your other thread on GM MAF's you started two days ago??

What if i jsut bought the link cable and hooked it up?
it would still work for the time being right

If you're going to do it, do it right. Besides, I dont think they make those straight up conversion harnesses for DSM to GM MAFs.

Yeah man they do ....I mean it works.

Yeah, right on... being that its not with a translator its not going to fix the BOV dump thing though...

What do you mean BOV dump thing? OFf the 02 housing? I didnt mean to put that there was a dump there.....it is recycled back into the exhaust. But this basicallt means you dont have to buy a MAF tranlator right?

Any reason why you want to do this particular mod? Maybe if we can get your reason as to why you're installing it, we can help you more.

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A BRAND NEW MAF ADAPTER WIRE for MAF Translator GEN 2
See, you still need the translator... That is just an extension cable for it. I have one of those with mine so I can put my translator box on the inside of the car rather than in the motor bay...

Well.....basically so I can vent the BOV with out any richness lol. And the MAF is bigger and better and instead of doin it later i would rather pay 30 dollars now and then later one buy the translator or even DSM link. speakign of which.....MAF translator or DSM link my budy has a 900awhp talon and he says DSM link is the way to go...but obviously for him ......but if i want somehtign reliable and fast go with the translator?

Link is superior to all other tuning devices for our cars. I would not run a semi-modded DSM without link. It's like the god of all tuning devices.
