Basically a map reading 2 psi has the same output at 2000rpm and 5000rpm, wheras an AFM will read more voltage, as the voltage increases with airflow. hmmmmm.... but a MAP wouldn't be able to fuel a motor properly if that were a problem, won't it ? Aren't cells adjustable for specific RPMs ? A SAFC...

0-5v AFM or MAP, is fine for what I want it for.
Gonna look into sourcing a pre-assembled unit

also ame accross this laptop adjusted one http://www.14point7.com/UAFC.php

my 6-bolt non-turbo block didn't have provision for the knock sensor to screw into either

looks like a neat economical SAFC alternative
anybody know anything about them in use ? thanks

quest.. different motors have completely different designs - perhaps the fords and toyotas you speak of have engine designs that inherently do not need the squirters, and perhaps the mitsu motors do.. in this respect, the statement made by Starion Vr4 that mitsu 4g63t motors are better off with squ...

in addition to the 3TC corollas mentioned above, there too many other examples to list..... A whole community of folks bolting turbochargers to their stock normally aspirated 2JZGE powered daily drivers, for years now..... where 3, 4, 500hp is not uncommon Lots of turboford 2.3L sohc 2 valve motors,...

mitsu was interested in 200hp, 100k+ miles and they write warrantys. Squirters overkill maybe ? Seen too many normally aspirated motors do fine with hefty turbo systems bolted on. for example Some daily driven toyota corollas gone low 10s without spray. Done reliably, using their lowly 1.8L 2 valve ...

be careful which route you go. Do your research before u pull the trigger. There are low 10/hi 9sec 4cyl street corollas here shifting their 5 speed toyota gearboxes without nitros. do u need an auto ? Ask how much power it soaks up too. 2 local 1st gen street 300zx (vg30Et SOHC); one sprays a 175 s...

the SOHC produces some impressive HP at 25psi..

using a .50 garret ? Any dyno, build thread, specs, etc ?

turbos won't "make" a motor breathe. Boost will build up in the intake tract, that's all. Revving is a waste of time imo. No need. Quickest street starquest (2.6) gone mid 10s, redline ~6300rpm/stock cam. Makes a far more reliable motor also. Combination makes a winner, not rpms We have co...

maybe I should say, "as widely used" as the SAFC, then..... but Paris still comes to mind, eh ?

Ultimately it comes down to the price of the ecu, what you guys pay for an ecu is more than what we would pay to get an ecu and all the parts for mpi. that too is another inaccurate assessment we start from as low as $200 build-it-yourself ecus. Quite a few gone this route for 2.6 mpi Quick & d...

Depends on how you measure performance with TBI + any of the bolt-on mitsu turbo upgrades, u wind up with near instant response, get pushed in the seat or break traction. Decent mileage improvement bonus, as 'fat' oe fuel curves are cleaned up(via SAFC). Quarter mile ETs tell the rest of the story ...

Using this however you will still be stuck with the mechanical advance/retard ignition with no control over that and that may not be such a bad palce to be "stuck". Properly functioning mech timing has taken some street starquest as far as low 11s TBI, MPI, blowthru carb, with or without ...

does this mean that coilovers might be adapted to a starion? why would you ? There r lots of detailed threads of starquests on various coilover options... even "slammed" on ebay/cosmo (~$200) coilovers - good owner feedback too. Their spring rate already suited to staz, not the considerab...
