OK...I know there has been a lot of discussion in the past on MAF systems, and quite honestly I don't fully understand the differences and which one would work best for me.

I have an 86 turbo with stock turbo and injectors, GURU chips, boost enhancer, SFR 3"exhaust, cat bypass, downpipe, tial 38mm wastegate, 3bar FPR. I plan on eventually going with a larger turbo.

I don't want to have to be tuning it. I want to install it and forget it. I am not worried about stealth.

Which brand of MAF would you suggest and why?
Thanks,
Chuck

PS: I do have brake and suspension upgrades for those that would suggest that first, but I didn't think they were relevant to this topic.

 

Vitesse has always been the favorite around here for good reason.

 

Vitesse with the Chip Board. The board will get you very, very close right out of the box.

 

I threw down my $$ for Vitesse setup.

 

We have bought a few Vitesse Maf setups with great results each time. John gives a very close to perfect tune.

 

MAP is becoming an attractive option again via the MegaSquirt (can use as a piggyback or as a standalone) or the MAF Translator Pro (piggyback). Rogue_Ant has put together a nice setup with the latter.

 

love my Scivision maf from www.maxhpkit.com - no tuning and works even better w/ a maxchip.

 

another vitesse vote here..

 

For your application the scivision would most likely be best.

 

I was going to ask the same Q sometime. Converting to a different air metering sensor... I'd want the best too.

 

I forgot to mention that at the time of upgrading the MAF I will also be putting bigger injectors in.

 

Vitesse All the way, I have bought 3 Maf Kits from him and they have all worked out great. They are all installed on different cars. One I sold a few years back probably has 50K+ miles on it.

 

Im running similar mods on my 88 : 3inch SFR with cat bypass, GURU chip, Tial WG, EVO BoV, Lindsey MBC, stock turbo and injectors.. Im running the Lindsey Stg 2 MAF and Im happy with it so far. At some point Im adding a better turbo/chips/injectors, but its not in the budget @present.

 

You can't go wrong with either Vitesse or Scivision. They are both great products. I'm using the Scivision MAF. Truely a plug and play unit which takes 30 min or less to install and "No tuning required". You can use the stock air box or cone filter with this setup.

 

Another Vitesse vote, plug it in and leave it alone.
