Default MAF Switcheroo

...... Has anyone found a way to use a larger MAF on an '87 TPI ? ... If so, what was the original app and how difficult was it to pull the ol' switcheroo ?? ..................

Hi Guys ! Take a look at my website www.blowerworks.net. You'll see my L98 MAF solution there: from stock calibration to 4". One member will soon be reporting on the 4" od unit.

Best regards
greg

I believe a forum member is doing the Blowerworks MAF right now. I will ask him to post up a summary.

Yes, a compatible bin can be tuned with either TunerPro RT or TunerCat in the usual manner. A special xdf or tdf file may be required depending upon desired range, size of housing, and car configuration (na/blower/turbo).

Extended range tune blower or turbo cars have some more tuning options available for variable load based PE fueling and spark control for LV8 exceeding 100% under boost.

For the larger 4" housings, the original bin is effectively re-done with a new mask. This is necessary since the MAF tables have been redesigned with (4) 17 row tables to allow for additional tuning points overall, and to allow for more tuning points particularly in the low air flow region.

Smaller housings could use the new (4) table mask as well, but its not really necessary as the standard (6) tables are usually adequate.

In summary, the Blowerworks MAF and bin is much more than just a replacement MAF. Its a comprehensive tuning solution for any blower, turbo or big inch MAF car.
