Re: The results... (archive)

Anyhow, I'm more interested in how the car drives since the MAF conversion will be a foundation in the steps towards better breathing. My S14 is currently stock except for a Dinan chip and SuperSprint header back exhaust (which should be acquired shortly).

I'm looking to having the right components for an eventual build of a monster 2.5L.

I'm sure that the gains from the MAF will increase as the S14 breathes better with mods like headwork, cams, header, and displacement.

So, is it invisible or does it actually drive differently? Is it smooth as stock? Smoother? Does it rev the same way as stock? Spool up faster? What is overall throttle response like? What is your seat of the pants evaluation of this mod?

Thanks,

What was advertised on DynoSpot's website about their MAF conversion?
The results seemed pretty impressive to me, the closest guy to my numbers was 174hp which was a stock m3 (60000miles on the car), dinan chip and a borla exhaust. We put the jc chip on his car and it showed 175hp. Split second claims 15-30hp to the crank, and i gained 7hp to the wheels...and i didnt really tuned it right, i had the option to hook the car up to an machine called Horiba, which calculates the air/fuel ratio...to fine tune the curves but my curves were pretty smooth so i opted out of it.

The difference is that the torque comes on much earlier, and my buddy said that it spools up quicker too. I was literally keeping up with a bone stock e36 m3 on the highway...from 80mph to 120mph.
I really dunno what else to add, but i was kinda impressed from this 2.3L, jim C chipped car.
