New discovery for the 1.6l guys

witchdoktor, please go back and read my first post in this thread, its all about the Denso/Toyota MAF which doesnt send bad readings to the ECU when you have a CAI. true that anything bigger than 2.25" with the stock crappy, or even revised MAzda ZL-01 MAF you are asking for issues. But the maf that comes on the celcia GT-S and im sure a few other toyotas works perfectly with our cars, and our cars with cai.

Caedmon, heres a photo of the cai i edited it a bit, rotated it for better perspective, and then marked where the MAF goes.

well im sure its around the same price at those places as advanced auto.

the only difference in looks, is instead of having the mazda sticker and the part number "ZL-01" it says Toyota Denso on the top, with some other writing on it. The parts shape is exactally the same. So my guess is the sensors inside are slightly different which give a more accurate reading which isnt as sensitive to the pipe diameter of the intake.

if you really want a picture ill take on tomorrow after classes.

the price is just a few bucks more at autozone. its $145 upfront then once u return the old MAF its $65 back to you leaving the price at $80ish for a new MAF

My question is dumb but you unplug the wires form our maf and plug them to the denso one and thats it? or it comes with wires and stuff?
 
Alright this was discovered when i just replaced my MAF sensor. If you want a CAI or SRI and dont want the hesitation. Order a MAF for a 2000+ Toyota Celica GT-S(GT might work not confirmed though). ADvanced auto ordered me a new MAF when mine just died last week, it came to like $75 ($140 up front then when i gave him the old one i got the core charge back). What i recieved was a Toyota MAF sensor made by Denso, its the same one my buddies Celica GT-S has.

For the last week I have had no hesitation what so ever when in the 2,500-3,500 rpm range with my Injen CAI, i used to have bad enough hesitation where it jerked the car. so for anyone else willing to give it a shot let me know your results.

Just to double check, I am about to go to the Toyota dealership and get the MAF, It can be from 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S right?
 
Yea is this a direct plug in to our cars? Cuase if so and this will solve the lag problem with 2.5inch intakes then im giong to get one.
 
yes, the MAF i got is the same one from the 2000 celica GT-S idk about other toyotas, and it was a direct replacement for our cars, same plug and everything.
 
I got the 2000 Toyota Celica GTS MAF. I haven't opened it out of the package yet. I will take pics of it along with the CAI when that comes in!!! Thanks!!!!!
 
yes, please post a picture, if u can comparing the new to the old. Ill take a picture of mine tonight too. but i don't have my old one because it went back to advanced for the core charge. You should be able to test the new one out in the stock intake as well, so you make sure it's going to work.
 
Then if its a direct plug i'll buy it! s*** i have no money this weekend guys but next one i will.. can't wait to get it!!!

I will also post a video with my new exhaust ;)
