Increasing Z32 Diameter
Guys I have heard about puting the Z32 MAF into a bigger body. Could someone explain how this is done and how do you tune for it please?

Re: Increasing Z32 Diameter
If you are talking about a "hacked maf" (taking the maf element/wire/controller and placing it in a larger pipe) it's not needed with nistune.nissangts wrote:Guys I have heard about puting the Z32 MAF into a bigger body. Could someone explain how this is done and how do you tune for it please?
One would do this so that they can run larger injectors without having to adjust the ecu accordingly.
The only other reason I can think about doing this is because one is maxing out the MAF. But then you should get a Lightning MAF or something.
(Or probably switch to MAP if you sucking that much air.)

I have considered going to a MAP system and using individual Throttle bodies. How would you go about getting NisTune to read and use the MAP signals? And is it possible?modulation wrote:If you are talking about a "hacked maf" (taking the maf element/wire/controller and placing it in a larger pipe) it's not needed with nistune.nissangts wrote:Guys I have heard about puting the Z32 MAF into a bigger body.

while i think it is possible to use MAP sensor (or any other sensor for that matter, e.g. TPS) as a load input as you can use VQ table for calibration and play with your K-constant afterwards, you will face a problem with calculating consumed air MASS for measured air PRESSURE, FLOW or whatever - you need the air temperature correction to know density, which is not built into a stock nissan ECU. So your MAP-based calibration will be valid only for ambient conditions similar to those when you performed your initial mapping. Any significant change in ambient tempreature/humidity - and your mapping will not be optimal and may (and will) cause engine damage.
as for MAFs, I dont have personal experience with these, but may be you should try pro-m MAF sensors - they state some pretty impressive power figures - 800hp with 80mm and up to 1500hp with 92mm MAF.
