jerrold carter Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Don't know why you guys are not trying this out but it's as good or better than Rayman said . I'm only running 9-10 psi max on a18g and this thing pulls way harder than with the 1st gen mas at much higher boost levels. Plug and play no other way. I'm going to work my way back up to 17-20psi where I'm used to running . I'll definately be looking for you Monty.You know the deal, once you're on top they all gun for you. Catch you in the hood sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm working on piecing together everything I need to sey one up as a blow-thru. Have the MAF, will hopefully have a modded intercooler withing a week or two, just gotta get the intercooler pipes and couplers and translator once I get sufficient funds. I've heard from numerous poeple that I have met that their cars felt like a new vehicle once this is done. I'm still on the rich side on my car, so it could be a bit quicker with the right settings on a tranlator Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Your throttlebody will be the thing that bottlenecks the power going from 3.5 or 3 inch back to 2.25 or so. All in all the gm maf trans really does make the car feel like a totally different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exgmguy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I think it is the first thing that should be done to these cars. The 1G mas is usually too lean or rich at idle and just the opposite up top. I love my Tanslator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 That 2 sec inj setup how good is it and do we have enough air to support it. Been thinking about it what are the benefits of running 2sec injs as opposed to running regular prim and sec. Just asking the question people might want to know.(mainly me) :?

exgmguy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 The car starts, idles, and drives fine when it's cold. You really can't tell it has a 1000 cc primary in it. I put it in just to see if it would work. So now when I do more work to the car I should'nt really ever run out of fuel. I ran 18 psi up to 6200 rpm and the a/f ratio was a stable 11.5-1 all the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sounds like something I need to try .Just got back from testing to make sure it's running well Like atop I'm simply amazed at how well this car runs after this mod. keep spoolin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exgmguy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I will post my MAF-T settings a little later. That should get you in the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark2th88 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm glad to hear that a lot of people are trying this set up out and loving it. Rayman is my brother and we installed this set up on my car for a first time try and we loved it. I'm still running it on my car and I leave my 18G around 13 psi and I have plenty of power. Let me know when anybody has any numbers (hp) their cars are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Sorry guys no good news to post, went out this morning to warm the car up ,the car sputtered for a few minutes then would not startup again. :x I spent the better part of the day trying to diagnos the problem to no avail . Going to read the posts and see what I can come up with. I still think this is the best mod I've done (my car running or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well good news at last, got the maft running with 2 sec. injs. Runs great. I still need to do more tuning to be able to run higher boost ,running stock 10.5psi until I learn more about the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrold carter Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Any of you new guys running the GM Maft read the instructions well. If your setup is default for the base and the aux,you're running super rich unless you've tuned this out with the idle,mid, and wot knob .If the aux is moved counterclockwise it makes the car run so rich it won't start .5TH page of the manual second line read it will make tuning alot easier.I found out the hard way,since I run 2 sec I set it with the help of exgmguy.HEAR THIS no two will be set the same I run a similar setup to Rayman's brother and exgmguy, but all of setting are different .Just thought I'd share with some of you new GM Maft guys.

hopefull noob Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 ok a quick question, what exactly do you need to run the maft setup, 3" filter, maf, and maft? also would there be any gains on a stock turbo, and mild mods? thanks guys.-ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark2th88 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey what's up! The list of items that you will need is in Rayman 4449's topic in this forum. He has listed all the parts and part numbers. I think Josh Red TSI has done so as well. You might want to do some digging and you'll find everything you will need as well as part numbers. :shock: You'll will love this upgrade :shock: This a very good upgrade for the guys who want to stay tb and not spend $$$$ on a MPI setup. Rayman is my brother and we installed this setup on our cars a long time ago and still running it with no problems. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
