start of MAF Conversion project...

Got this in the mail today, should be fun! Came out of a '98 328i.



Does anyone happen to know the pinout?

Is the pin out the same as the E36 maf? if so I have the pinout.

[rs4pro3]

this has got the 325i E36 pin outs. http://www.r3vlimited.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=251

thanks bro, you rock. I'm actually downloading mitchell 2003 as we speak.... wiring diagrams are bliss =)

hey man, once yours is done, let me know how was it, I'm installing the SMT6 recently, and I have a E36 325i MAf with four pins only...

[mspiegle]

would you happen to have any extra temp sensors? I might be in need of one...

[diegom6]

yes I was in that too.... I did a mini hole in the MAG and inserted a Temp resistor there, but Gunni told thatis not needed , since the MAF makes the calc from the air mas flowing and then calculates the air temp...so don't needed, I will wire it and try build a digital screen led to read the air temp since mine is Turbo...

How is runing with the SMT6? did you gain some with it?

[mspiegle]

i haven't got mine running yet... I tried testing for voltages to get an idea of how much modification i would have to do. I applied ground and power to pins 1 and 2, tried to check a signal on pin3. Didn't really get any voltage from it... Tried blowing into the maf, didn't change it one bit. Used a pretty accurate digital meter...

any ideas? i'm gonna see if i can hunt r4spro down...

I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING BEFORE YOU BLOW SHIT UP

FU
STFU
OMG

holy shit, 2nd best laugh of the month

[rs4pro3]

I have no idea what the voltage output would be. I tried askign E36 owners to go out and test it but no one would.

[mspiegle]

yeah, i tried asking on bimmerforums and nobody would help me.

i fried my MAF anyways. The units from '97 and '98 are different. I had a '98 unit and thought it would be OK to use '97 diagrams... WRONG!
