Can you use lexus afm sensor on stock housing?

yes, when people talk about the lexus afm upgrade they mean using the housing from the lexus and swapping the electronics from the 7m afm... since it is bigger you get more airflow.

Yes I know, I should have made it more clear that just giving advise towards the "upgrade" were it wasn't needed. :sarcasm:
What are you trying to do? If it's raise fuel cut, you'll need some 550cc injectors, the Lexus AFM housing, fuel pump, drill the jtube, etc...

If that's what you're trying to do, then you really need to be more clear when asking questions, because that's NOT what you asked.

I have everything i need. But my friend who is a machanic, (and owns Brightside imports) was under the impression you only needed the electronics off the afm. But i knew something was wrong when i keep hitting fuel cut. I was cunfussed because i was getting wierd answeres, i thaught it was cut and dry.
This is all very common information. First, your mechanic friend is dead wrong; how do you expect to get roughly 25% more airflow without changing the housing? Second, take a minute to really read the link I provided earlier in the thread:

It's got everything you need to know, especially coupled with Mike's chart above.

i read it as soon as you put it up and then i saved it. I understand he is dead wrong but it happends. I"ll post some pics of the incredible builds he does. you will shit yourself!!!!!!!!! Then you can be the judge of his skills! our cars are very old and out dated, he is going to have to get more info on everything. realy we were not planning on using any afm, but money is tight in sothern california! well thanks agian for all the great info, realy help alot.
im glad this thread came up because i wasn't sure about the upgrade either and how to do it safely. i wish i would have known b/c i had the part in my hand one day at the junkyard and i could have got it for cheap probably. the carisle artical got me understanding perfectly.
