[vristang]

I saw this thread and had to post some pics...

It isn't tuned right yet, as some other issues came up, but I hope to have it sorted out tomorrow.

Where did you get that (brand)? Price? What tuning issues did you run into?

 

[vristang]

Tuning the MAF conversion is what I'm struggling with
I'm using an LA3 ecu, which has been converted to maf before, but so far as I know it has been on boosted applications only.


The piece into the fenderwell is from an old BBK 5.0 CAI kit, and from the MAF to TB is a from a local parts store.

The MAF is from a stock Fox 5.0 HO Mustang

Ah yes. Remove the silencer.

I just picked up a 94-5 5.0 Throttle body. Can't wait to put it on.

On top of converting the LA3 ECU to work with MAF I think the 5.0 MAF is programmed differently than the 2.3 MAF, so that might be another hurdle!

Interesting...
This is similar to the issue of using the 90mm LMAF on a A9* ecu.
I haven't had any difficulty there. But, how one imports the Transfer is supposed to make a difference. I copied/pasted.

I drove the car to work today
Still not right, but getting closer...


Sorry for the sidetracking this guys, I'll start another thread if there is interest in the topic...

I did the exact same thing to my 2.3 before i went turbo. Unfortunately it's really hard to get above 100hp with the naturally aspiriated setup.

you can get a 5.o throttle body off e-bay . it will need alil modification but will work ,just the stock 60 mm will be better then the stock 4 clyder one !!!!!

Did what????

IF you mean an LA3 conversion, without the turbo, then I would REALLY like to touch base with you via pm's.

is there any improvments in mpg with a larger TB. I have an old TB from an 89 H.O laying around. what is involved in getting it swapped over?
