MAF relocated
- Thread starter sniper9
- Start date
This thread might be dead but thought this might be good info. Last night I did my cheap mods install.
1. Replaced PCV valve with Mellinia PCV, part # JE26-13-890, $13.50 from Mazda
2. Removed Diffuser form MAF.
3. Moved MAF to TB side
4. Now running open BOV, No more Turkey just WOOOSHHH
This Morning was the first drive and Holy Crap! Its not in my head, this car is faster. Not sure why though. Throttle response is better and power is better from about 2300 on up. Just drives 100% different. I will try and get pics soon of the move. Looks good. The whole project probably took 15 min.
Easy mod.

well...........mine wistles. but i ONLY get turkey if i shift without going into boost while revving a lil high. otherwise i NEVER get turkey. im running on a hiboost fmic at 8lbs with a greddy type-s bov and a injen cai converted to short ram

I have just last night done the mod so I am still feeling it out. I have a Hiboost FMIC and did the CAI convert also. (worried about the water) But I swear I have more low end torque with the Short ram.
well your getting the air quickerBlitzd said:

1. replacing the pcv is just a maintence thing, not sure if the one that he listed is better or what, I am guessing it is less prone to gumming up or something?
2. inside your mass air flow sensor (MAF) has a waffle like pattern diffuser inside it, he removed it, creates less turbulence and unrestricts a small amount of flow, that air is gonna get rushed through the turbo anyways
3. open BOV means his Blow Off Valve (BOV) is vented to the atmosphere under the hood, it doesnt recirculate the air into the intake like the stock By Pass Valve (BPV) does

(first)
has anyone done this with a wideband installed and monitored the AF? I'm interested to hear the results. The reason I"ve been hesitating from doing this mod is that the MAF, as I undertand it, measures airflow at ATMOSHPERIC pressure. The hot pipe is pressurized so wouldn't the MAF readings be off? Also, that little dangly thing looks pretty light weight inside the MAF, I can't believe no one has had problems with it breaking.
