Okay, so Ive been trying to find out a how-to on wiring a z32 TT maf in place of my stock one...

Im going boosted so I thought id throw this on. I have the pigtail as well. Can someone link me a how-to on "how-to" wire it? I am a 5th gen 3.0 DEK. Thanks

Sorry, ive searched with no luck

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt this taking a step backwards? We have 5th gens making around 400whp with the stock MAF if i'm not mistaken.

Also, didnt you have an EU? If you do, you can place the MAF pre turbo and correct the stalling when you get off the throttle with the EU. Or you can just recurculate the BOV so air that has already been metered with a setup like this doesnt just vent into the atmosphere.

 

I have read about people maxing out ther stock mafs. If I use this z32 I also make money from selling my stock one.
From what I have seen people use these mafs.
I am planning for 400whp and I do have a EU

 

The Z32 MAF is used on 4th gens. I've never seen anyone use it on a 5th gen. I dont see how it would work either.

If you're just worried about maxing out the MAF, just make things simple and put it pre-turbo and recirculate the BOV. Dont overcomplicate things, it will help with troubleshooting in the end.

 

I am pretty sure you can't use the Z32 Maf on a 5th gen. If you are worried about maxing out your MAF, look into a Land Rover MAF or a have a custom 3" housing made.

 

Seriously? This hasent been done? Im surprised..

Well that may have been a waste of money I suppose, but I could have swore I read about the MAF being maxed out.. I would really like to leave the MAF after the turbo, being that I already have my BOV..

So this cant be done?

 

I think what you are hearing about maxing out the 5th gen MAF might have came from the way stillen designed its charge piping for the 5th gen supercharger kit vs. the 4th gen.

They had the MAF placed pre-supercharger to save the MAF if i'm not mistaken. And this of course was the common concensus. But there have been SC 5th gens that put it post-SC and had great results.

Check out this thread. It's a SC but it's the same concept. He's made some impressive numbers with the MAF on the charged side. I wish the car was still around though.

Right, but where my MAF would be placed, I would need to extend the wires. I would rather leave it in the stock place and run a z32 MAF if its possible.
Why wouldnt it?
Also, Im making a profit if I can get this z32 to work over my stock one
I also have my BOV already so Id rather not have to buy another one.

 

Okay, Ill keep my stock one and sell the z32.

Z32 for sale.

Unless somebody knows WHY it wouldnt work on the 5th gen...

 

Then just place the 5th gen MAF on the charged side with a 3" (or bigger) housing. It can take it. Sell the z32 MAF and you still make profit. We have a superior MAF already. You're reversing technology by doing the z32 MAF even it could work.

And if i'm not mistaken, you can just make tubing that goes from the BOV back into the intake track and voila. Recurculated BOV without buying a new one.

 

As far as I know, the Z32 MAF has never been done on a 5th gen. I do not think it can be done.
Put the MAF on the charged side. The turbo setup you bought from me had the MAF on the charged side. It was in the stock place.

 

Thats what ive decided to do.. I just cant understand how our 5th gen MAFs would be better then the z32 tt... But regardless Ill see how this work.

 

I dont belive you be maxing out that stock MAF anytime soon,

there 350z guys running out to 450whp on the stock MAF with no issues, if you really making that much power to max out the MAF then switch to a MAP with the EU

 

I am also very confused on this subject and would like the 5th gen turbo guys to throw in their 2 cents. So far my impression of the 5th gen maf (had my car since 2003) is that it breaks from daily driving and is therefore fragile. I've had three or four now I forget but it definitely makes me worry about that component. These were n/a.

Also while s/c'd running a 2.87" v1 I blew my maf the FIRST run making like 11psi. This was on the charged side like a 4th gen. This incident also blew off my piping at the maf, which may suggest a backfire?? Idk, but it was definitely blown after that.

Let's set the record straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ohh also I've tried a z32 maf with no success with I think a safc or safcii. I tried many settings for in and out but my car was getting angry.

2000 5spd dek fed here.

 

So you actually tried installing the z32 n62 MAF on your DEK?

No luck? Interesting, I wonder why

 

I had in possession a z32 MAF when I first got my s/c. I did some research then and read on a couple of old old threads talking about how 5th gen ECUs won't read the MAF correctly and Im pretty sure it's because of a difference of voltage or resistance signal the z32 MAFs give when metering air compared to the 5th gen MAFs.

My stock MAF has been working wonderful on the charged side and I've been sc'd for about a year now at 11psi.

 

Why not just stick to the stock maf, and start boosting. Log your MAF voltage and see where it is. The 4th gen maf maxes out at about 300-320HP worth of boost, so if the 5th gen maf is superior then it can prob take almost 400. Just use it and log your voltage.

 

I guess I just have the worst MAF luck ever then. Has any other DEK'r blown more than 5 mafs?

....maybe I just suck lol

 

Yes I tried hooking it up as one would in a 4th gen. Put two grounds together and then just match up wires. Definitely didn't work at all. Can't remember if it would even start/idle though.
