    MAF conversion on M42

    There's a lot of talk on MAF conversion for the M20B25 but can't find any post on MAF conversion for the M42....

    Anyone here can shed some light on this??

    should not be hard at all really...especially since the M42 uses a real TPS sensor......get an SMT-6, get an MAF, install both, and modify the voltage values from the MAF to the ECU...WOW.....M42 MAF conversion would be cake.

      Yeah, God bless smt6.

      PM or wait for Gstuning to show up. His name is Gunni, he's from Iceland, and he's one hell of a big help when you have questions about the MAF conversion or the SMT6.

      It should be pretty simple, thanks to the SMT6.

          What kinds of gains would come from doing a MAF conversion on an M42?

              I can´t really say as I have not done it

              I hear the M20 is gettting plenty spunk so the lighter M42 should get the same,

              It all depends on what you really do, if you move to another fuel, a higher octane and the ignition is so advanced that you can´t run the bad stuff anymore, that and perfect fuel and you got your self as much power as you can get out of "chip" tuning

                How much is the SMT-6?

                And which MAF should I be getting for the M42 MAF conversion project?
                I might go for UNIChip.
                This would be future project.
                MOD fund is low at the moment... sigh... :(

                  I honestly dont think it'd be worth the time/effort/cost

                    I was thinking of chipping the engine so might as well throw in a MAF for good measure...
                    Am happy with the power for now.

                    Anyway, anyone knows what MAF would be good for this conversion?
                    Just doing some groundwork now.. So I know what to get when time comes.
