GM Mas Air Sensor from a 01 Chevy Impala with under 40k.i just got it on ebay but woundering if its gonna work and what else am i gonna need for it to make it work?

i would suggest a upper intercooler pipe from dejon, for 190, i dunno if you can put it in the stock location, but they have one that puts it after the bov, so you can have a straight intake pipe with no restirctions short of the air filter, also if you want you can vent, but thats not that important,

Upper (IC to Throttle Body) Pipes for Big Front Mount i would think you could use it without a fmic, and just get a silicon with clamps to connect it, or just clamps with the stock tubing, but wait til someone who has this replies to be sure....

edit: DUHHH HOW COULD I FORGET,... do yo have a maft?

 

[skinnyt]

no i do not have a (maft).were can i get one at?

On another question I have been talking with LudaCris(Founder) on wiring my Translator to the car. I have the one that says "Horsepower in a Box." Cris said to wire the translator to my 1991 GSX through my Crankshaft Angle Sensor. This is the stock sensor one my car.

So how to I wire the white wire to my car. Which bunch of wires at the CAS to I splice into? I am looking for the RPM Wire that goes to the ECU so that my GM MAF will work.

Thanks

You don't need to wire in that white wire to make the translator work. That wire allows you make fine tuning adjusments to the fuel curve at WOT (adjust maps at 3K, 4K, 5.5K, and 6.5K rpm)

Is this need or should I get a SAFC for better tuning? The translator doesn't do fine tuning, correct. SAFC would be better than the Translator.

im almost possative you cant hook up a gm (notice its a different company) maf without a maft,... but i may be wrong,... either way, id get one just because im pretty sure its required/ you can always get a safc later,... i doubt your tuning needs would exceed the maft,... unless you get into it seriously, then you could afford to get both im guessing....

The MAFT is required to run a GM MAF sensor on a DSM ECU. The GM signal is completely different than the stock MAF on our cars.

An SAFC in combination with the MAFT would give you the best all-out tuning ability for a piggyback setup, as it allows for finer adjustments than the MAFT. It is NOT required however, and many can get good tunes without one.

If you used an SAFC-II, you could store two fuel maps (one high boost tune, one low boost tune, or one premium gas tune, one race gas tune, etc etc.).

Sorry, What I trying to say is that I already have the translator but I don't need to connect the white wire because a SAFC II would do a better job. The white wire just tunes a very small amount of the fuel. So over all the though is that I don't need to connect the wire, Right??

Thanks

If you're tuning by the SAFC, then you won't need the white wire. Just hook up the translator, leave the knobs zeroed out, and tune with the SAFC.

I just got my MAF translator. The directions do not mention the purple wire. Where does it connect? Thanks!

 

[Quasimondo]

The purple wire is the AUX wire, used if you were running somthing such as nitrous, propane, water or alcohol injection. That wire is the trigger to tell the translator to switch to a different fuel map when whatever system you are using is engaged. Not necessary if you don't have the above systems, and not necessary if you are tuning by SAFC.
