What tuning set up to run?

[FASTSPOOLINGST]

What tuning set up is the best?

Running a SAFC w/ 2g MAF

Running the GM/MAF trans in the UICP

Running the GM/MAF trans in the turbo intake pipe

I am soon going to be buying a FMIC and need this info so i know if to get the UICP modified for the GM MAF.

Thanks in advance

Depends on your goals/style/preferences.

There is no 'blanket' best for everyone.

 

[FASTSPOOLINGST]

My goal is to make the most horsepower possible.

I don't care too much for style or looks.

I prefer whatever gives me the most horsepower for my hard earned money. Even if it's a tad more, if it's worth it, i'm game.

What size injectors are you going with? If bigger than 660's, go with the maft.

This is from one of the other maft users named Richard Glorioso:

For all the guys arguing preturbo vs blowthrough, just thought I'd
add one tidbit to the discussion.

I have a 3.5" MAFT setup on my 1G, preturbo. I recently dynoed 531
whp on this setup and ran 10.78 @ 135. No spray. Hz count was up
past 4000, over 60 lb/min of airflow.

Shows you can make plenty of power without going blowthrough.

680cc injectors. hopefully 20psi on 93 octane as daily driver.

 

[nine5raptor]

Its really your choice then.

For me, the maft + a used 3.5" sensor was cheaper than an afc, plus I like the load based tuning of the maft. Also, Mike Licht gives the best product support I have ever run across.

Wow, that is hella impressive. so i guess pre-turbo is the way to go huh. Where did u get that info from.. got a link? I'm interested in reading the rest of the information about it.

I'm getting a used 3" for 50.00. does that sound like a good deal?

Where'd u get your used 3.5" at. I will ask the guy i'm getting the 3" from too if he has a 3.5".

does it have the same size plug in as the 3"

His setup:

> Wow. very impressive #'s. Care to share any more info on your
setup? Or is
> it top secret

93 AWD with 2G ECU and DSMLink
Crower Rods, Venolia 7.5:1 Pistons, O-ringed block
BJ's Stage 4 head
BJ's Sheet Intake
850cc Injectors
3.5" MAFT, preturbo
Bosch Pump
48 psi base FP, stock feed lines
PTE61 (56 trim GT40 / .63 and 76 trim GT350 wheel / 4" inlet)
Turbonetics T3 manifold
Stock NT Throttlebody, 2.5" IC piping, Custom Spearco 205 IC
35 psi

That is basically it.

Either sensor will work. Mine is off of a WS6 TA. It was $60.

The 3" will actually work better for you if you have a 91? was it.

If you have the 95, the 3.5" will work better.

 

[FASTSPOOLINGST]

yeah 91 gsx, cool i will go ahead and get the 3" then.

That guy is layin down some serious power. I have stock internals and head though. I don't want that much power. I am shooting for at least 350-400 at the wheels or hare more. Whatever i get as long as it is higher than 300 at the wheels i will be satisfied. Just building this car to outrun the new STI subaru's that think they are hot shit.

 

[nine5raptor]

The reason I said the 3" for the 91 is the sensor will fit the stock intake, I believe. You can go and read up in the yahoo archives to be sure, but I think the 3" fits fine.

Saves you some money on a new intake.
