V Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The car is standard at the moment in this department and will hopefully be sticking on my RAM filter at the weekend which came of my old car. After probing around, there’s a sensor mounted in the side of the pipe I want to remove, which will get replaced with an elbow pipe with the filter on the end of it. 1. Does this sensor measure the air temp? 2. Where do I put it now? Does the sensor in the OEM pipe un-bolt so I can I cut a hole in the new elbow pipe and fit it there? Or is there more to it? :stupid: Any help would be greatly received. Got some piccys if you would like a look:) Many thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilsideTT Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 thats your MAF (Jap spec Mass Air Flow) sensor or AFM (Uk Spec Air Flow Meter) You cant get rid else your ECU wont know how much air is going in. I not 100% sure on this but with aftermarket ECU's there are ways round it, but dont quote me as im not an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Wont be the MAF sensor as you guys have MAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree deff looks like an air metering sensor and yes aftermarket ECU`s like the AEM can convert the car to MAP if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 Thanks very much. I'll do some hunting around Regards Stephen V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Originally posted by NWS25 Wont be the MAF sensor as you guys have MAP. The VVti models run both MAP and MAF together. The sensor is extremely delicate and a VVTi is one model I would suggest that the stock air box and filter be left well alone on. All IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensor is bolted on the side of the OEM pipe, so i thought i could un-bolt it (carefully) & re-bolt it on the new pipe? Would this be ok?? It seems that it is genereally considered that the air in take is pretty good, but to me looks diabolical (spelling??) with only 2 narrow slots, compared with others. I am concerned about filtration but also like the sound. the cars new to me so am happy with the power at the moment (the BPU will come, i'm sure), especially as its cold outside anyway. Any help always appreciated. Regards Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
