2g 3" GM MAF Translator install

My new chip is in the mail. Goodbye barometer problems. It'll help me to actually be able to tune the car right with the dsmlink.

Sorry to bring back the old thread but can someone get some pics of the power transitor? Where im suppose to tap for the RPM. Thanks

Damn, nobody could tell a newbie here where exactly to tap the damn RPM wire, i know either the CAS or power transitor, but where in either or these locations???

My answer here is cut and pasted from my post almost a year ago:

For my 99gst (don't know if it will apply to your 2g year) I tapped
the rpm wire on the Ignition Power Transistor. It is an 8-pin
connector just above the fuel injectors. Here is the pin out, if you
are looking at the connector straight on with the latch at the top:
/\
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Pin #4 is the rpm wire. This wire makes it's way to pin 58 inside
the cabin on the ecu connector (pin 58 is the safc rpm tap). For me,
#4 was a white wire.

So it's pretty simple. Pull out your power transistor (see other attached picture showing location). Then look into the connector, aka with the wires facing away from you and the click latch top is on top. As you are looking at it that way, pin #1 is on the left, and pin #8 is on the right. Pin #4 is the rpm wire that you want to tap into for the maft. There isn't much room to tap onto it, so you should be good with electronics/soldering. Strip away a section of insulation, wrap the maft wire around the bare wire, then solder the two together. Good Luck.

So it's the white wire then, because if i look into the connector with the latch on top i have

I I I I I I I

so i assume the 4th one is the white one which is the one i pointed at up top? Thanks alot for your help, i just don't want to be cutting and peeling wires and then it be the wrong one. Thankss again.

I'm not sure I understand your diagram with all "I"'s in it. Although when I went to quote your here, then the arrow did appear above the correct "I".

Yes, I think you are correct which wire you are pointing to, and it is also white (at least mine is). Here is a really close up picture of my power transistor wires. You can see I tapped the white wire in the middle.

Thanks so much for that clarification. That's exactly the 4th wire counting from either left to right or right to left, since there are only 7 pins with wires, the white one would me the middle one. Thanks alot for your help and time.

thanks for the info im getting the maft setup next month for two reasons

blow thru and air fuel tuning

Well i'm going to ask it one last time... well becuase i'm just that hard headed.... the white wire with the electrical tape.. right? (Click my pic)

I have a SAFC, and I'm putting in a translator.

I am going to throw out the SAFC. Garbage, as far as I am concerned, the dog can eat it. Yuck... I spit at SAFC.
Oh wait, its really cool looking and I took 2 days to solder it in. I'm keeping it.

That settles it I NEED A SAFC. You dont but >I< do.

i feel your pain.. but my afc looks like the dog ate it(has scratches on the screen..so i might buy anew one cause it looks so cool )

im looking into the MAFT vs MAFT pro thing now
