Exclamation MAF idea!

couldnt u just take the mass air flow sensor out of its shell . do away with the opening flapper door thing. and jus cut a hole in some piping and just run piping from wherever u wanted ( lets jus say from under the car for a cold air intake ) and do away with that extra weight /flapper door mechanism? does anyone get what im saying?

No you can not do this. The engine systems require the data from the MAF to run.

no because it is a flapper kind...the door is your resistance readings you can only try to swap to the s5 intakes or even a maf sensor like the camaros or mustangs but you have to get a schematic (how you spell it ) of the sensors wires and see if they match..

Its actually a car that was moddified by MR Carrol Shelby.

Shelby made a GLH-S Omni in1986 he made 500 of them and he made 1000 Charger GLH-S cars in 1987


They made Shelbys and then they made GLH-S Shelbys.. which were touched by Shelby himself and he increased the HP to around 200 HP.


MY GLH-S has a Hybrid T3/T4 and pushed about 350 HP.

if on a low budget, you can do a certain little trick with the maf box, to custom make front mount i.c. lines, and put the maf in the intercooler pipes, this way, there is nothing blocking air going into the interior, and the air that goes thru the maf sensor is already compressed.

Not recommended. The AFM was never designed to be pressurized. Also, it includes an air-temp sensor which will be confused by the higher temps of compressed air.

I have heard about people in japan doing this, no i have not done this mod, but there is a certain GURU on here that has talked to me about it, and informed me about the tuners in japan doing it, also you could just do it after the intercooler to keep temps down a bit.

A little advice (NOT a flame): before you think about modifying/butchering bits of your car, find out what they're for and how they work! That way you won't need to ask questions that make you look a little silly...

The airflow meter (it's not a mass airflow sensor/MAS/MAF) is the ECU's main load sensor. If you remove the flap, there's no airflow signal so the engine won't run. Besides, why just remove the flap? Once that's gone the whole thing's useless anyway.

And before you ask, removing the AFM is not possible with the stock ECU.

This doesn't make any more power. The AFM causes the same restriction whether you suck or blow through it. It makes no difference.

BTW, interior of what?

My bad it was supposed to say intercooler, but it would make a difference. Sucking non compressed air, restricitve. Craming compressed air thru, Not so restrictive, ANd i didn't say that i was gonna do it or anything, just some tuners in japan have.

It doesn't work like that. Pressure is irrelevant when discussing restriction, it's only airflow that matters. And airflow (l/s, cfm) is the same whatever side of the turbo you're on.
