Damn, do you have a turbo AND SC M42? Those are some freaking sweet looking builds!

Quote from: bmwman91;100770
M20 guys claim gains from a MAF, but that is only because the stock AFM was too small to begin with. The power gains from a MAF on the M20 are the same as putting an M30 AFM on. A certain other MAF conversion that will remain nameless claims gains too...but a chip comes as part of the package. The gains come from the chip, and are remarkably similar to the power gains seen when one adds JUST a chip.

I'm really glad to see this happening.  Coming from such a well-regarded member of the board I'm really looking forward to seeing this happen.  I'd suggest that you don't forget the M30 guys (there are a surprising number still out there).

I had a similar idea a long time ago, but I was thinking along the lines of a Megasquirt/Ford Mustang MAF/integrated IACV to eliminate a few of the M42's problems.  Your idea is far more economical and has many more advantages - much cheaper, stock hardware, no cutting the stock harness and it can pass enhanced inspections as it looks relatively stock.

It should be fairly easy to get the M30 AFM working here too.

There is a small amount of cutting required on the stock AFM harness, but you are basically sticking GM Weather-pak connectors on & the kit will include an extra one that you attach to the original AFM connector so it can all be put back together.

Quick update...

I am almost done with the toughest part of the project: developing a firmware update system. I want to be able to release firmware updates just in case some sort of unforeseen bug appears, or if I want to add features later / etc. This is the most time consuming part though, because it has to work perfectly. I can't be sending out updates that turn the converter into a brick!

bmwman91 why not go threw the eprom code and adjust the constants for the AFM and scale for the MAF ?

I will gladly help out I just can't be testing such Ideas on customer cars due to time consuming issues, but if someone wants to be a Guinna pig I will help out the best way I can

To me is just sounds better if you stick the MAF chip in the DME and then plug the MAF in and GO!

Kind Regards|
