I recently converted the car over to mass air and ditched the restrictive vane airflow meter (VAM). I am still working on the tune, but the car has picked up a lot of power, especially up top.

The MAF is a 70mm unit from a 1994 Thunderbird. I chose this MAF for it's size and because it has a 3.5" hose inlet and 3" hose outlet. This made it very easy to install using the large VAM air intake hose and a standard 3.5" K&N cone filter. I gutted a bad small VAM for the vane airflow sensor. I installed the sensor into a hole I drilled in the endcap of the K&N filter. I also used modified the male connector from the VAM and used it to make a harness to hook up the MAF and air temp sensor. I did not have to cut any wires and can return to VAM easily at any time. I have been using the DataQ DI-148U to datalog and the PLX SM-AFR wideband. After a day of tuning I finally have a good MAF transfer function.

Dyno and track times to come soon.

The completed MAF installation. I have since cleaned up the wiring.
