maf upgrade

[adzer]

i have a 1.8 20v turbo cupra 2005

i see alot of ppl fit lcr mafs as an upgrade, do you just use the housing or the whole maf with a remap?

It's only useful if your upgrading to a hybrid turbo. It won't make any difference to the standard turbo.

I asked this years ago, along with upgrading the injector size, but the ko3's don't max out the maf or the injectors, needs more puff to do that.

But if you did then you would need a 3 inch maf, thats the whole unit, don't think it can come apart. Then you would need a larger turbo inlet pipe to suit and a larger diameter air box or branded air filter.

When upgrading the MAF due to fitting a bigger turbo (like a hybrid) you fit the sensor from your car (150/180bhp MAF (2.5")) into a LCR/TT/S3 MAF tube (3").

To connect to tip, you can either try to stretch on a standard Forge TIP (extremely difficult), or get a reducer to suit.

Is there no alternative to these ie buying a LCR tip? I know its costly but would it fit alrite?

 

[Damoegan]

Yep, LCR TIP would also fit, Steve.

so can i not use the complete lcr maf/sensor on my car when its remapped? reason i ask is coz my ibiza maf is fooked and i'd need to buy the sensor part if the lcr is no use

No you can't - the mapping has to take into account the different sized MAF.

 

[adzer]

thats what i mean, can i not use the complete unit and get car remapped to suit it?

adzer - is your current MAF saturated with airflow?

If the answer is I don't know, then leave it alone.

If it's not, leave it alone.

So you're into the realms of (more expensive) custom stage 3 mapping...... for what gain?

********************************

my original maf is ****ed, so my traction control no longer works and cars just backfiring on gear change.

i have a new lcr maf, all i need to know is if i can use the maf and have the car mapped or if i DO need to use the sensor from the original maf.

 

[Damoegan]

What turbo are you fitting to require a larger MAF?

Your answer has already been answered mate, no you cant..

 

[adzer]

K03 hybrid turbo will be fitted along with maf, injectors. induction cone and turbo back exhaust is already fitted.

 

[Damoegan]

Who is mapping it?

 

[adzer]

my local revo remapper

 

[Damoegan]

I didn't know that Revo done a map for a k03 hybrid!!

Best thing to do is ask them what they require then..

 

[adzer]

when i spoke to the guy the map is custom to the car and the mods it has fitted.

Revo don't do a map for K03 hybrid.

Revo dont do custome maps..

Revo don't do a map for K03 hybrid.
