2nd Gen Air Flow Meter help!
Is there any way to remove the air flow meter? I am installing and aftermarket intake and I don't have room to keep the air flow meter. Help Please! What are my choices if any?

No can do!
ZERO!!! NADA!!!! ZILCH, unless you get a stand alone computer like the Haltech. the stock ecu needs the reading from the afm in order to run. you take it out and the car wont even start.

Well, I am sorry that I did not post anything sooner. I did manage to mate the airflow meter to the twin turbo zet by fabricating an aluminum plate. I used pvc and rubber couplings along with a 6inch K&N cone air filter. The verdict? 3 runs before installation, 3 runs after installation. Average 1.2 second drop 0-100mph! Thanks for the advice guys!

Turbozet needs the whistle tips so people know to move into the slow lane as he comes screaming up behind them. "It's like an alarm clock. Wooooooo Wooooooooooo!"
On second thought. 1.2 seconds could be accounted for in the reduction of fuel in the tank after three consecutive hard runs to 100. (in otherwise stock trim)
Turbozet, What are these times that you had for the 6 timed runs you made?

A 1.2 second drop 0-100 huh?! Hmm....your name wouldn't happen to be Michael A. Pool would it? Check out this website for the details on this guy...http://www.scottmurrish.com/subaru/turbo-zet.html A certain Michael A. Pool on this website claims EXACTLY 1.2 seconds 0-100 in 2 entirely different cars! One of them being a 2nd gen RX-7. Here's a better website on that product. I love this one!!! http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/arti...ml?&A=0237&p=3 Go sell your product elsewhere!!! We aren't falling for it. Who would use the name Zet in their screen name if they weren't selling it?

A couple of my favourite quotes from the esteemed Mr. Poole...
"The Turbo Zet was not designed to provide "boost". It was designed to intelligently regulate the airflow to the engine to provide an ideal fuel to air ratio across the RPM range. Better yet, it would save gasoline, help my vehicle run smoother and last longer by eliminating carbon deposits, and allow me to drive up and down in elevation without changing fuel grades or adjusting my intake."
Intelligently regulate the airflow? Eliminate carbon deposits?
"How do the Turbo Zet and Twin Turbo Zet work? While the MECHANICAL turbo charger and supercharger were developed to increase engine power by supplying additional air and pressure to the engine thereby increasing power and reducing pollution, the TZ and TTZ are small, electronic versions equipped with a NEC microprocessor, servo motors, impellers, and electronic drivers. The microprocessor's sensors reads engine RPM, air pressure, air temperature, and alternator impulse, analyzes all the input data, and directs the servo motors to rotate and supply the right amount of air to the engine at every specific instance/RPM for optimum combustion efficiency.
All this for just $35...
"By adjusting the volume of air to an ideal air and fuel mixture ratio 14.7:1 at every instance possible in order to achieve perfect combustion thus maximizing engine power, fuel savings, and reducing emissions."
Now that's the scary one. Can you imagine what would happen if the mixture was 14.7:1 at full load?! You'd have a blown engine before you even got to redline! Of course I highly doubt this thing can actually have any effect on mixtures, so I'm sure you'll be quite safe...
This guy obviously knows nothing about engines. He's just another snake oil peddler.

0-100 1.2 second drop is not so great.
