Is there a way we can get rid of our AFMs?

One more vote for the Haltech (or whatever brand of standalone EMS you like).

Haltech = arm, leg, *******, first born child.
S5 AFM = $100.
I'd spend 100 bones for a little more air flow. But that's why I asked if anyone had done this. I was told by a forum member a while back that it wouldn't work.

Here is some promising numbers of an N/A project car, with the AFM ditched.

I asked them what they meant by "Mazda mass air" and they said, "just a standalone system". I was hoping they found a cheap solution.

That's pretty impressive for an auto to run low 15s. I wonder what they woulda dyno without the ems. Towards the bottom, they mentioned the price of $995 for the computer, so it's not cheap by any means.

Carby and distributor. 
Do they still make VPC's? Did they ever make one for RX-7s? As I recall they cost in the neighborhood of $900 so you might as well just get a Haltech anyway...

Another thing to remember is the the S4 ECU is slooooow. Even if you upgrade the AFM, you are still stuck with a pig of a computer.

I think this Megaquirt might be something to look into for us N/A FC owners. I emailed them with any info on rotary powered vehicles. I will let you guys know when I get a response.

MegaSquirt
I am getting ready to install it on my GSL-SE. I've already built it, just have to assemble the harness and go pickup new sensors.
It eliminates the AFM and has an onboard MAP sensor.
