E30 m20 MAF

[Evan12]

hi,
Im looking into swapping my afm for a maf. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about swaping to mafs and having the result be that you car runs shitty and inconistent. Has anyone had good encounters with m20 afm to maf swaps? If not pease elaborate on your expirience and why it's not worth it, besides low end torque loss. Thank you in advance.

A way that works and provides positive benefits is a Miller MAF conversion.

thats what i have heard. even thought hey run about $300 i heard they are the most reliable. In your opinion is it worth the money spent?

I am sure Brody from Miller will pipe up soon, he is active here. I think the Miller MAF is good, I have one on my car, I am not sure you can expect much of a difference without a retune, but that would be a better question for Brody as I did the chip and the MAF together.

after you went for a tune after the installation of the chip and maf did you notice a difference?

my suggestion would be buying their W.A.R. chip and MAF conversion together. you wont really see much from just the maf alone..

you can purchase them directly through miller or through ireland engineering

+10 :up:

I did the Miller war chip and MAF and it's awsome!
throttle responce and sound is unreal, and the car pulls hard and strong
off the line..

I love it and will do this upgrade to any E30 I will ever own..!

[Evan12]

sweet. thanks guys. much appreciated. if im not mistaken it is 650 for the maf and war chip. the 300 dollar maf is just the unit.

[SkinnyVT]

$300 for the MAF and a basic tuned chip to allow the MAF to work, the $600 is for the MAF and the programmable WAR chip.

yep ive got a war chip and miller maf too and i love it.My car is turbo so i cant tell you exactly how it does on NA but i do know my throttle response was completely better in every aspect

[Evan12]

now its just saving up the $650.....

there is always msPNP setup. Then you'll never have to clean or replace a gummed up maf. Also has unlimited add on potential.

[digger]

why do you need a war chip aswell. Unless you have deviated or soon plan to from stock don't worry

a huge difference, but then again before I did conversion I was a 2.5i and now I am a 2.8i, sorry this did not help

what he means is with the MSPNP you are running no AFM/MAF at all, this is much more complex, as is the WAR chip, if you are concerned about tuning your own car just get the MAF with the basic chip and be done.
