There has been some speculation over the last year about our Ford maf we install on our kits. There have been comments made that it is less drivable then stock, that it "bucks", "hick ups", and that the rpms go up and down erratically at idle...
Our maf with the custom tuning tube and the Y pipe is hand made per order and the tuning tube is bench flown one at a time for consistency. The stock maf only reads up to 1500kg/hr at 5 volts whereas ours reads 3800kg/hr.
Some of the most powerful P cars in this country including mine runs such a set up.
I would like to show all of you the videos I just took today to prove that such is not the case... I do believe that a few guys had some bad experience... but that could be from improper installation, lack of testing for boost and or vacuum leaks, or even a bad tune...

Here is the erratic idle and bucking a few have mentioned... I am not disagreeing that they did not have the problem. I am featuring my custom MAf solution on a kit thats puts down 700rwhp at 1.4 bar using the ford maf...
Please take a look at the videos and judge for yourself...
best,
markski


This is the kit I tested:

Gotta say Mark, exhaust sounds awesome! runs smooth as you said, full boost or 1.4 at just over 5k rpm?

 

Nope full boost under 4... a gt35r does it at 5K... dont trust that gauge... plus Im loading the car from 2K in 3rd gear..... not in 2nd.....

 

god i miss that!!

 

Damn Mark that was so laggy. I think you need a set of A28's

Just playing bro, I love that exhaust sound. Definatly good stuff. I can honestly say the car never bucked or had any type of inconsistant power delivery at all, just smooth as butter.

 

Tim just a matter of time

 

I was one of the ones that had the same questions, I almost sold my Proto tuning and went with Evoms for this reason. I am not saying anything bad about Evoms. My Proto tune works just like stock. for the sort of major upgrades we did, I am very happy with the drivability.
Mark was 100% correct on this.

 

i have the same setup and mine runs great also .

 

thats was great mark ...

i would like to know what kind of dvs you are runing in this kit ??
thanks

 

Forge with stiffer springs... but your also hearing the tial 44 mm Wgs...

 

i am running twin 44mm Tials they are OH soo loud !

 

Looks good Mark!!!

I love the sound of my 44's when I have exhaust on LOL! With straight pipes on the car is so loud you hardly even hear them.

Though TiAL 50mm BOV's are a must! Nick will agree with me on this. Nothing sounds as bad *** as them!

 

I agree.. I did Nicks car lol
but ours vent out too.. not recirculating...
thanks for the kind words.
mark

 

Oh I know you alls are open atmosphere also. My motto is the bigger the cooler sounding though!!!

Going to the track tomorrow even though the weather is horrid (90+ and a LOT of humidity). Not going to mph anywhere close to what I did but I'm hoping I can get a decent ET. Going with extra timing (the last time I ran I was on a lower setting then we made 868rwhp with because Justin forgot what setting he had it on) and about 1lb or 2 more of boost. Probably won't get into the 9s, but I'm going to try my damndest!

 

The weather is gonna get you... we are waiting till it cools off.. lol
we missed the spring because had some stupid issues... ( flywheel sensor) ... took a while to isolate it...
BTW, its running mafless too lol but not sure if we will keep it that way... the gt3 code is a little harder to get done according to Todd..
