Swapping MAFS

[jmbadder]

I just installed a cold air intake on my car and when i did i ****ed with and broke my MAFS. I have read in a few places that it can be swapped with one from an RX-7. What year is right for my car and will I be able to swap it directly or will I have to change or modify wiring. I have a 92 MX-3 1.6 SOHC. I appreciate the help.

its a 2nd gen RX-7 and i think the year is 88-89 i am not sure but thats what i think it is, but anyways i heard the bigger MAF wont help till really high RPMs and i know as well as you wiht our 1.6 SOHC we can reach that high unless you have alot done, well you should doubble check on the years but i know its 2nd Gen

I had one on my BP for a month to see how it was.

It kinda killed my pickup in the low end torque. But After 4500 and up it had great pull!! So I could imagine how a turbo'd SOHC or a BP would love this MAF!!!!!
When I was running it, it ran normal but as I said, when I hit the pedal to the floor - felt like I all of a sudden was running super lean!! car bogged down, but only for a moment. Then it ran normal till about 4500, then woosh - like my engine finally got up to speed.

I went from a 350-400Km per 30Litres gas mileage (something like 30miles/gallon or whatever) down to 175-250km per 30Litres. Crazy!! but it was a lot of fun!!!!

gonna keep this maf for my dream of a turbo project!!!!

would the MAF be good on a BPT?

rx7 VAF is same thing as the BPT VAF

you'll still have to retune it though

All of the problems i had with those issues were fixable with tuneing the MAF. For me the only real thing i noticed was that the motor did not fall on its face after 6500 rpm.

On the protege forum that have talked about how tuneing is everything. As long as you tune it good you will notice no difference down low but notice around 5-10 hp above 6500.

What do I have to do to tune the new MAFS from the RX-7 once I install it?
