Whatsup guys? I've got a 4th and 5th gen, but was wondering something. The mass airflow sensor adapter on a third gen...to fit aftermarket filters, is it the same as on the 4th and 5th gens. I know mine are 3" tubing, and the bolt pattern is a 3" square.

The reason I ask, is I know a guy who says he has one off a 94 max, and if it works, he'll let me have it for like 5 bucks. Thing is, its a 45 min drive just to go pick it up. Hate to waste the drive time if it doesn't fit.

as far as I know, they are the same 4 bolt pattern!

 

I'm looking at one right now off an '89 GXE. Where the MAF bolts to the air cleaner it has a four bolt pattern but it's rectangular. Bolt center to center it is 3 1/2" x 2".

 

Man. That kinda sucks. I may have to check it out anyways. Thanks alot guys.

 

If you want to wait until the 18th in Dallas, I can bring my homemade adaptor and you can compare with that one....

 

Its cool. I'm off tomorrow morning. I love driving the new 5-speed anyway. Gives me a reason to get out of the house.

See ya on the 18th

 

So did it fit the 4th gen or did you not go???

 

Yes it did. With a little drilling of new holes that is. It didn't bolt right up.

The 5th gen MAF sensor --- 3" on 3" bolt pattern
The 4th Gen MAF Senosr --- close to 2.5" on 3.25" bolt pattern
The 3rd gen MAF Sensor --- 3" on 3" bolt pattern.
