Is there anyone on here who has attempted, or knows someone who has attempted to relocate the stock MAF/Intake Temp sensor to a post-intercooler location? My thought process here is that I should be able to get a much more accurate MAF value based on what the engine is truly getting into the intake.
I understand that this would require extensive MAF rescaling as well as a recalibration of the temperature compensation tables, but my main concerns are:
- Turbulance: Will the air flow post intercooler be too turbulent to get consistent MAF readings? Or is the end tank of the intercooler enough to smooth out the air flow.
- Data Processing Delay: Has relocation of the MAF been known to cause problems because the computer cannot compute fast enough to get the right fuel mixture? My first thought is that this would require adjustment of the Tip-in values, but if the data isn't analyzed fast enough I'm not sure that would help all that much
- Sensor Damage due to Boost: My first thought is that the sensor elements themselves shouldn't be significantly effected by any higher pressure air, but what about the housing? Obviously it was not designed for this, but has it proven to hold up in the past?.
- If I decide to go the speed density route, is there a way to disassemble the Temperature sensor from the MAF? Is the stock intake sensor accurate enough to provide good Speed density readings?
Anyone who has any experience with this or similar applications please let me know. I'm looking for the die hard DIYer's and home brew tuners who enjoy the feeling of creating something truly unique for their vehicle
Thanks
