Advice Required!! Which MAF System is best Bang 4 Buck!!
#31
I wish i could afford Link stand alone- but the cost is more than 2x that of MAF+piggyback. The Link is definatly impressive though. I like the fact it uses the stock sensors- so you can fool the smog cops.

"As far as duty cycle goes.......This is dictated by the maximum voltage of the MAF which is directly related to the size of injector".
Autothority unit:
The only thing that dictates injector duty cycle is the size of injector vs the air flow through the engine; it has nothing to do with the sensor being used.
"When the sensor tops out its voltage signal, your injectors reach 100% duty cycle."
Again, they don't have anything to do with one another.
"Put a larger injector in and your voltage signal drops which means you get more range out of your sensor and thus a lower duty cycle"
Your voltage signal from the MAF is determined by the mass air across the hotwire; changing injectors doesn't alter that. You will get a lower duty cycle, but you have to rechip so that the same voltage signal communicates a shorter injector pulse width.
"If you run out of range on your sensor, you install a larger injector"
Autothority unit:
If you run out of range on your sensor, the electrical engineer has to recalibrate the unit.
For example: Instead of 5 volts max corresponding to 20 kilograms of air per minute (about 425 hp), it can be changed to 5 volts max corresponding to, lets say, 30 kilograms of air per minute. That does, however, render the unit less sensitive leading to potential drivability problems
