MAP ECU's were to buy

[veedubin]

As stated i am interested in removing the restrictive AFM, in favor of a GM MAP sensor. also so i can run a BOV...... i love that sound it's almost orgasmic. :love: :icon_bigg Yea it's kinda a stupid reason to change over, so sue me. any ways i heard that something as simple as SAFC will allow this to happen at least with the BOV but i really due want to rid the car of the afm. so any suggestions???

You dont need a map sensor to run an aftermarket BOV. Have you even searched this site????:3d_frown:

map ecus get rid of the AFM all together, not put in a GM maf. and to the origional question, i would go through powerhouseracing or titan. powerhouse also has the PnP harness for the map, and then all you need to do is run a vac line from the intake mani to the map ecu. i used a PnP harness on a MKIV and it was cakewalk, once we got the vac line into the interior.

why not just go maft-pro, everyone seems to like that better

edit: i run a ssqv and vent it to the atmosphere on a stock ecu/afm.. no problems whatsoever

so, what exactly is the easiest, most reliable to get rid of the stock AFM? what if you use a Lexus AFM? any differences?

I love my maf-t pro. I was waiting to hook it up to fix a prob. I was having hitting cut at 5k rpm's It started getting really bad this weekend so I desided I would hook it up an bam prob. solved. also solved my idle on hot restart prob.

I have not updated and the only prob. I am having is a very slight rpm drop when I hit the gas.

My mk4 has a map-ecu on it though i have not driven the car yet so i can't tell you much about it.

Ok how is replacing it with another AFM getting rid of the afm?

Well I jsut checked titan, no go on the ecu's i didn't see any. aslo I should have mentioned that my car is an 87 turbo 5 speed and power house racing only carries for 89+........... so am i screwed or what????

 

[Selz202]

I thought they only had the harnesses for 89+... map ecus should still work for pre 89s...

 

[F_T_F]

it will work in a pre 87 you might just have wire it your self or pay someone else to do it.

Well wiring is not a problem, I'm a mechanic for a living and ASE in the electronics section :naughty: i'm just lazy and a PnP harness would be very helpful. also who can verify that a map ecu will work on the pre 89's any one else got one???

Easiest and most reliable don't go hand in hand.

Most reliable would be standalone fuel management.
