I need a new maf to get my car running right. Can i use any infiniti maf because i found one cheap and its a three wire... which is what i think the ca uses. I need a maf that can hold up to 300hp but i want it to be cheap.

If you want to use a maf that is bigger than your stock one, you need to program your ecu to work with it.

The infiniti J30 maf is the same as the z32 maf.

Well the maf i have works, but i think my problem with it stumbling after 4 lbs is because its pushing power beyond what the ca maf can handle. I have a very big t3/t04e turbo and 2 1/2" IC piping with bigger injectors so i think the car is just hitting boost cut. So whats the cheapest maf i can get to see if that is the problem?

Prob Z32. About $150 usually. Is your ECU chipped? Get rid of boost cut that way.

i have a socket and chips to burn for the ecu but havent gotten that part down yet. I just need a quick fix to see if that is the problem. Will a q45 maf work? The plug looks different but the one im getting has the plug and about 6" of wire.
