Make a plug. Go to an electronics store with the MAF and find spade type female plugs that fit snugly on the pins in the MAF and solder those onto the wires. Of you could hack the end of the KA harness and butcher the plug for it's parts.

find a maf plug from a ka24de (twin cam)

then pin it accordingly.

green/black stripe is maf signalblack is maf groundblack with white strip is.....something....lol...

leave the green/yellow stripe disconnected...i found it does nothing

ps: i dont know what pin is what on the maf

to simplify things......get a ka24e maf.......they are easy to find

white from maf goes to green/black stripeblack from maf goes to blackblack/white goes to black/white

KA24E --> CA18DETblack --> blackblack/white --> black/whiteWhite --> Green/black***Green/yellow don't connect

as far as pin position on the connector, I'll post tmw with that or someone else will beat me to it, its like 20 degrees outside f that

yes im pretty sure it does. its got the same notch. You prolly just have to re-pin it, meaning using a small screwdriver, push the release thingys inside the hole the pin sits in,youll figure it out, its a beotch

and does it stutter up to 3k then pull hard after boost?

mine did that stutter bull**** too, so i got an safc......tried tuning, wasnt the problem. Turned out I had to get the safc to translate becuase of a slightly different maf signal.

i had to set maf in to 1 and maf out to 2

or vice versa..cant remember
