MAF translator

[superdude]

i am thinking about getting a GM MAF from Dejon Tool. but not sure what size. and the item description for the MAF translator says it will allow me to completely adjust the fuel curve. exactly how does their product work to change the fuel curve? is it just a turn the duty cycle up or down system or what? and which size GM MAF should i get, currently waiting to be put on is a 20g, a front mount, and i am wondering if i should go with tubular manifold or the evo mani?

i have a MAF with a GM sensor, worked out nicley for me, usually the MAF Translator is about 200+ dollars depending on where u go, the GM is about 40+, look in the classifieds to get one...

3" MAF is what you want. Out of an impala SS I believe. I bought mine from OngreenPerformance for ~$70. The translator adjusts the amount of airflow the ecu sees, so it increases or decreases fuel based on that. It also sets your air intake temp and barometer at a fixed setting.

And do an evo manifold or slowboys new cast manifold, which is what I have, tubular manifolds are more or less for racing not a street car.

A 3in will be more than enough.

Like it has already been said the MAFT just tricks the ECU into seeing a different amount of air and the ECU adjust fuel accordingly.

I would stay with a cast manifold, becasue the only tubualr manifolds worth a crap are 400.00 plus. If you dont mind paying that much then go right ahead and buy one, but unless coated, another 100.00 or so bucks, or wrapped they will create a lareg anmount of under hood heat.

So how well do those coatings really work and how long do they last? How exactly are tubular manifolds better/worse than cast?

(and if you think this is off topic, let me know & I'll start a new thread...)

A lot of info here for you.

3", EVO manifold.

They have alot of data, these companies, that show huge gains, but I dont think they are as great as they make it out to be. If you get a tubualr manifold I would probably coat it or put a vent in the hood to help air escape. There are a couple of local guy that have the exhaust housing coated and the mani coated and they said that they can tell difference in underhood temps, but that the car doesnt run any cooler. Either way it couldnt hurt, well excpet make your wallet maybe.

Sorry that wasnt the best response, but I personally havent dealt with coated products to long and am going just on my little bit of knowledge.

2 topics here but ill stay on the first....GM Maf's are easy to pick up at any salvage yard....i got mine for $30...like said above, 3" will be plenty.
