I heard from several people you can get a air mass sensor from a 5.0 mustang and it will give more hp because it does not have the flap. Is this true and does it fit right on or modifications need to be made??

 

BTW, does the NA 88' have the same air mass sensor as the 88 turbo II??

 

NO.

The Mustang airflow meter is a hotwire type AFM that measure mass flow, which is totally different to the flapper types which measure volume flow. The programming in the ECU is totally different. There is no way they can be swapped.

 

ok, so the 88' NA mass sensor is diff then the 88 turbo II

 

Well i need a Air mass sensor, anyone wanna sell me one they might have laying around .. have a 88' 10th Anniv ( guess you can tell alredy from mine name but i need one badly. you can e-mail me at Alexbatory@hotmail.com

 

The simple answer is it will not work. The more complex answer is no one has figured it out for FC's yet. It is a somewhat common mod for Porsche 944's. and then have the flap type AFM. I am working on it, but I dont know how well, or even if it will work. But I havent had time to work on it in a while.

 

we need something bigger than that little mouse door.

 

Umm, Mazdaspeed7, is that a huge pinstripe on your vert???

Anyways. It's too much work for 5 hp max- requires complete interuption and reinterpretation of the signal.

The signal is reversed in polarity, has different min and max values, and has a different proportional flow rate/voltage increase.
You figure it out!


And no, the TII sensor is different.

 

Yes, its a big nasty purple pinstripe that I havent gotten around to taking off yet.

 

How did you figured 5hp max?

 

Well the above example was an extreme one, not meant to be taken seriously! But if you did replace the AFM with a bigger one, 5hp is really about all you could expect. There's still an AFM there causing a restiction, and all the other restictions to airflow (manifolds, ports, exhaust) are still there.
