2G MAF on a 1G

[ned032002]

Is as easy as pulling the 1G out and putting in the 2G one? I know I need one of those harness adapters but there all over ebay. Will I need to do anything with Link or is the 2G MAF a direct plug and play with no negative effects?

You'll have to change your MAF type in Link to the appropriate selection, but little tuning will be required beyond that.

Is it true that the 1g intake pipe won't work with the 2g maf? Also, would you say it's a good idea to do the swap?

[LandoAWD]

It won't fit the round-outlet piping that the 1g can sits on, but it is worthwhile to upgrade as fuel cut is a thing of the past without having to Blaha the 1g MAF.

I'm worried that with the problems I read that people were having with the conversion with lean situations, I don't want to have a variety of possible culprits with all the stuff I'm doing this winter. I mean I've done the 255 rewire, fmic in the spring and a afpr and a few other tweeks so I don't want it to not start. And then be like "o..now wtf?" With link, when I select 2g maf, will the air flow be compensated for? Or will I too have the same issues with lean out?

[LandoAWD]

With Link and a wideband, you'll notice any odd behavior. Selecting 2gMAF will have the ECU convinced it is supposed to be using it as a factory unit.

So your saying that I shouldn't have any issues as long as I keep an eye on AFR and such? I need to learn exactly what to look for at any given point during a log.

[LandoAWD]

The "easy way" is to have a WB02 in the car for day to day tuning. Other than that, watch for knock and AFRs.

I need to learn where to adjust what with the sliders and such. I don't want to make wrong adjustment and throw everything off. I will need to play with it. I'm waiting on tax time to get what I need then I will get her set up. So you are saying that it is a good idea to do the 2g maf? I just need to get the intake, 2g maf, and adapter harness and I will be set to do it.

[LandoAWD]

Sliders will be at or around zero in the MAFComp tab. Selecting the base MAF as a 2g performs preliminary compensation.

Have him take a look at this, which should explain everything.

Yeah I am using yahoo, I don't have any other email addresses to use. Guess I'll have to figure it out.
