maf less use on stock cars
hey all,
Is it worth going mafless on stock cars, with little or no engine mods (apart from perhaps the upgraded ecu)? or is it just worth it when the engine is heavily uprated.
I've got an Apexi PFC sitting here waiting to be fitted, wondering if its worth going mafless with the MAFSIM addon on. I'm not altering the engine much more than just that.
ta,
ben

I wouldent say they are the achilles heel, Ive owned scoobs for the last 4 years and never had a MAF problem to date, the MY99`s is a different matter they go through MAFs faster than amy Winehouse goes through a gram of coke

haha, same problems on MY00? so what would you recommend? keeping the standard maf, upgrading the maf? or removing the maf and using the mafsim (for example) with my apexi pfc?

1999 and 2000MY cars use the same sensor, yes, but as above I wouldn't agree with Dunk's summary of the situation.

Anyway, all that said, if you are talking about a standard-ish engine, if I was in your shoes I'd stick with the standard airbox and MAF arrangement. Under those circumstances there's no reason to expect the sensor to be hugely unreliable - especially if you already have a green stripe one installed.
If it does go at some point in future, then that might be the time to decide whether to replace it with a new one or do something different.
