Anyone use a homebuilt AFM meter?

I'm bored. My car's not running yet so I can't go zoop around and have a ball.

Has anyone built their own AFM meter? I'm imagining it wouldn't be difficult, just quantize a 0v-1v signal (possibly with more detail focused around the 0.5v range), and output it to a bar graph. Or, hey, just use a small analog voltmeter on a 0-1v scale.

Anyone have good ideas?

best bet would be to modify a different one (such as a corbra).

the problem is that the maf is not a restriction -especially in NA's

if your that serious about getting it off use a stand alone and take it out.

****....i got half way through this post and realized you talk'n about a meter not the actual meter.......

well why would you need one?

i would log it for a couple runs in excell and then run a few graphs.

To get an idea i think you could do wot and watch the data points to see if it linearly increases with rpm.

those 5 & 6 ports should make it interesting.

For how cheaply you can pick up a standard gauge, I don't see why even bother making one, they're still terribly inaccurate and generally only good for idenetifying major problems and verifying that closed-loop functions. Build your own widebands

Yes, but they're shiny, they move, and generally would amuse a passenger (and possibly me). :-)
