*Tuning with MAFT* newbie

[Sinclair159]

just got my new FMIC and maft installed and the cars runs but obviously theres gunna be some tunning involved with the translator... The car runs alright but sputters a little bit and dies sometime wen pressing in the clutch coming out of a gear and slowing down.. now i kno i need a logger but thats were the problem is... i went to charge my palm IIIc the other night to get it ready to log and i think i fried it... so is there any kind of settings i could run right now just to allow me to run a little bit better until i find another logger... i have basic mods that u guys could check out in my profile??? any help is apreciated... thanks guys

Did you set the translator correctly, to 3" or 3.5" whichever you got, blowthrough, injector size, etc?

 

[Sinclair159]

yeah to the best of my knowledge i set it right.. 0 for and 0 for 3" gm maft and then 0 i think for stock 450 injectors... i just wanted to know if there were any other changes i could make without my logger for now to get it to run a lil better..

base knob needs to be set to #2 for - 450cc injectors

and if your using the 3" maf, dip switches 1 and 2 are off ( pointing down)

once thats all correct see how it runs then, u can play around with the idle knob a bit to help your idle out, good luck

 

[Sinclair159]

ohhhh maybe i just read the directions wrong... so your sure stock injectors require the aux switch to be set to #2?

 

[Sinclair159]

Ohhh alright never mind... the aux knob will stay at 0 the base knob is to be set at 2... i didnt understand that part... i think i got it now..

 

[bmwisthekey]

yeah u got it, aux stays at zero, base is 2.

also on the 4 dip switches, the 4th switch i would leave (off)"pointing down" that will keep u in the MAF mode, alittle more user friendly for newbs to the maft.

Just wanted to know if it is worth me switching to a gm maf setup or stay with stock setup??What are the pro and con of each.Thanks

Search for maft and you'll get a lot of info on this topic.

If you got a new MAFT then disregaurd this, but if you have an older unit (like ver. 1.3) The settings will be different for your base. But if it is a newer one (2.X or such) than use those settings (Base #2). I am still dialing mine in but I am very impressed as to how well the driveability is. Kudos for GM and making good universal air metering parts ie. MAF sensors and Map sensors
