Blow threw AFM

[KTM530]

I am going to look at a 7mgte swapped 240sx for a good friend who is looking for a low budget drag car.In the pic thats posted on CL this guy has the AFM set up as a blow threw rather than before the turbo. I though that the AFM cannot work under boost. so did this thing have the slightest possible chance of running like that? is this guy full of it, stating that it was running like it is setup? i have not seen it yet so not sure if it has something else controlling air/fuel under boost.

If it runs it prolly doesn't run well. Horribly done swap.

"primered grey ready for paint"

heh, uh... no

 

[Poodles]

Lots of dodgy stuff on that... Though there's probably a grand worth of parts :rofl:

I doubt the damn thing EVER ran, let alone did 12's... I love the aftermarket lights that are missing their outter lenses too :rofl:

With the AFM in that location, it seems to me that it would run fine, until you started to get into boost. Is that true?

...an was kaotic it has been parshily removed...

I had a good laugh

That thing would run like shit, no doubt in my mind.

IIRC someone on the other forum disassembled the sensor in the MAF and realised that a blow-threw afm would be a big boost leak right there.

also it wouldnt read accuratly due to the well-above atmos pressure. Don't quote me on that

Tell him walk.. No. Run away...

and do not stop running...

I did, he is still looking for a cheap MK3 or a fox body 5.0, he has a thing for mustangs.

A+ for jamming a 2jz upper timing cover on there. :biglaugh:

I'm going to e-mail this dumbass ricer and ask him all kinds of questions about it, lol.

Looking at that ad, I threw up a little bit in my mouth. Just because you can put the motor in doesn't mean you know how to make it work. Looks like a drunken weekend project gone wrong haha
