Fitting an Lcr maf to an LC?

[Pyro]

If I got a silicone reducer (well enhancer) would I be able to fit lcr maf?? And if so how will this effect the car??

At a guess I'll get a better airflow as it's bigger rite?? But the only thing I can think will stop thi is the length of the maf sencor coupler!!

Thoughts apreciated

Cheers lads

if you coat the edges in jam before you fit it youl get an extra 50 bhp, worth 89p, gotta be raspberry though, strawberry doesnt work ha ha ha ha ha

serios though it can only improve your airflow surely

Nope, extra volume maf, won't suit map etc.

:WTF: are you chatting fool lol

I can't see it being bad??

im sure the calibration of the 80mm maf ove the 70mm will be totally different


the sensor reads the flow rate, but the management will interpret that as if its the 70mm maf im sure, so with the 80mm with a higher flow rate relative, if anything you'll run overly lean, and end up running high cylinder temps,

the 70's just fine,

ha ha, could work though, dont knock it til youv tryd it lol

you would need to get the car remaped to suit.

if you just change it over then the information being supplied by the maf will be incorrect.

 

[Pyro]

But 80mm's betta but with the self learning ecu and adaptive maps ect it should be able to cope???

What bout using sps3 to change settings ect?

 

[armo]

if you dipped it in raspberry jam first ha ha ha ha ha im gonna duck out cos i havent got a fooking clue lol

Why is 80mm better if the turbo only wants 70mm? Maf isnt restricting your power.

Have you dyno`d yours yet? What power are you running?

 

[Pyro]

I know its not restricting power bit if it's bigger then better airflow? Thus making better g/s????

loads of guys have done this on the cupras...
its normaly fine BUT you ned to take the sensor out of you cupra maf and put in to the housing of the lcr maf!! lcr sensor wont agree with the cupra and make it do stuff you wont like!
you may aswell get a 3inch tip sam, make it look a lot neater....

Without remapping to suit (which is pointless) your ecu will see less airflow so it will fuel less. Less fuel = running lean = eventual serious engine damage.

There's a wealth of good information in these forums that people don't seem to bother reading these days....

It's the same sensor, just in a different sized housing.

No it's not Lee, the sensors are different.

 

[LEE69]

Ta, always assumed the same sensor.

so if we all stuck dustbins on to feed our turbos we would all be running... what 500bhp? The turbo can only run to is best potential and on your car after the Downpipe and cat , the turbo is the restriction.

You can double the airflow to your turbo, but it will only take what it needs.

 

[Pyro]

I know I can't just trow air down it and make it go faster but the better airflow u can get the better it all runs but if It'll run lean then I won't bother

i see a lack of trust lee.....
im not talking to you any more
lol
