actually that is a very common misconception, there is data one of the MR2 vendors collected where they did bench flow testing on the factory AFM unit vs. the streight pipe associated with a MAF system and the differences are negledgable, only in extreme HP cases is the conversion a necisity, or even recommended for the ammount the conversion costs.

I agree that AFMs suck. I'd be running four velocity stacks if it weren't for my stupid ugly AFM.
 Chris, If you want to convert to Megasquirt and give one last try at getting it running right, I know someone selling a new perfectly-working unit that he assembled for $200. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

The car was running right, I have no idea what the sputtering was/is... Maybe timing, maybe distributer.... But I cant even get it properly timed without a new AFM. And smog is a big issue... As of right this second Im keeping it, cause it would be a straight trade to shid, and I would be losing way to much on everything. As soon as I get an AFM I will take it over to a shop to get the sputtering checked, and im gona pull off the distributer and see if its ok... Everyone is telling me not to give up and I dont think I should.
Even then I will most likely get her running good and still sell it. |
