intakes

[schotty46]

What is the difference of the intakes with the MAF sensor and the ones without? What mods do i need to do to eliminate the MAF so my car will run right?

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Let me google that for you

If you eliminate it, you'll have to run either dsmlink with a maf translator or with speed density. Thats of course if you stay with your 95 ecu.

Well, ive been told that i have to get an eprom because im going to have to tune with dsmlink. So do all dsmlinks have the maf translator?

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

You should have an eprom. No, maf translator is something separate. Why do you want to get rid of the maf in the first place?

So do all dsmlinks have the maf translator?

No, you either have to buy a MAF Translator or V3 DSMLink with their adapter cable. v3summary [ECMTuning - wiki]

V2 DSMLink only supports using MAF Translator.

Keep in mind that both ways still use a GM Hotwire MAF so you still have a MAF. You have to run Speed Density to not have a MAF.

Well, as ive stated before in my threats im kind of a newbie. Ive ripped my motor apart several times so i understand how it all works but i dont understand all the different upgrades quite yett. Would it be better to keep the maf? Or to get rid of it? Because im planning on throwing a HX40 on and im pretty sure that has a 4" intake on it so i wasnt sure i could find one with the ability to put the maf on.

Find out what ecu you have first, you might not have to buy an EPROM.

FP intake is a 4 inch in. If your a newbie, you shouldnt just be throwing on an hx40. Esp if you dont fully understand if you should keep the maf and what the pros and cons are. Sorry. You just arent ready.

 

[schotty46]

Well im pretty sure this site is to ask the pros and cons of what things do. Im not sure what the maf even does and that has nothing to do with me putting the hx40 on. Everybody starts somewhere and asking questions is how i learn. Thats why im asking questions so i can learn.

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

There is a list of questions that you need to answer for yourself by searching first. This site is design for people like yourself to get your feet wet and learn FIRST. Not throw on a big turbo willy nilly and then come on here and ask why your car runs like shit, or its slow, or why it blew up. We have a search feature for that. There are 8 threads about holsets. Read those. And start searching before you make up your mind that you want an hx40 and try to be a hero before you know what the hell your are doing.

Please, im not trying to be mean or insulting, but you need to realistic about what you are doing.

See, what some people dont realize is if theyyd just answer my original question none of this wouldve been going on. All i wanna know is does it make a huge difference to run with the maf as without!?

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Your OP was answered by first first post. Youre asking a different question now. Yes, it does make a big difference whether you have a car the runs with a maf and one the runs with speed density or maf translator. With one, you cant properly run a vented BOV, and with one you can. With speed density, the car reacts much quicker in both throttle response and how quickly measures boost and air temp, giving you a better overall running car. So, yes now all your questions are answered. START RESEARCHING FOR CHRISTS SAKE!

 

[schotty46]

See, this is why i ask questions. Because i want to run a vented BOV. I dont want it going into my intake so which setup would i have to run to have it vented? Obviously if i didnt ask this question i would have ####ed it up and wouldnt have known what was wrog but now i do. So thank you.

Venting your bov is a topic that has been cover multiple times,

Here's a link:

Took two seconds to find with the search bar, which is faster than waiting for a reply.

I really hope you have all your supporting mods taken care of now that you're looking into the non-important upgrades such as changing/eliminating your MAS.

You don't need to eliminate the stock MAS if you're running an HX40 just because the inlet is bigger than a stock turbo. You need to consider how much air you'll be flowing, if you'll overrun the stock MAS, if you can control that overrun with tuning, etc. There's a lot more to think about and consider than "the pipe is too big for my MAS".

But as it's been covered already, all your questions have been answered already.

The 2g MAS is capable to support 500hp before becoming a restriction. Recirculating your BOV is actually better as that vented air would usually be blown back to the turbo to keep the spool up.

The HX40 doesn't really come alive until 25+PSI so you need to have large enough injectors, a larger fuel pump, AFPR, Tuning device and logger (ECMLink). Unless you are running E85 you will most likely have knock issues which will make you need to run meth injection.

You need a large core FMIC, upgraded internals to handle the increase pressure (head studs and rods), 3" exhaust, external wastegate, -12AN oil drain lines for the turbo which require removing the pan to drill and weld on the proper fitting. There are some other things that are needed as well.

Hope you have some good working brakes and all of your maintenance done.

Fill out your profile and search next time. As far as your knowledge is right now, you aren't ready for a larger turbo if you don't even understand how you car even works together.
