HI ALL,

If any one knows what the airflow rate on the KA24de , KA24E, CA18DE, and sr20det MAF, please post.

Thanks,

KA24E supposedly flows same as CA18DET (hence why it works flawlessly for CA18DET w/o tuning).

what exactly are you wanting to know? max airflow? the flow vs voltage output curves?

Actually if you know the max airlflow and the flow vs voltage that would be great.

Thank you for your info, it answered one of my questions.

Arnt the restrictions between mafs voltage and air flow?

well you can pull the VQ maps off various rom images if you know where they are, but to get the actual airflow you need to then factor in the K value and figure for K (base stoich fuel pulse width) * vqmap entry for MAF voltage (don't worry about the AFR correction maps aka fuel maps, thats to make the fuel other than stoich), that will figure that at MAF voltage X you are putting out Y fuel, and you can figure that at stoich that means Z air at MAF voltage X...

but thats lots of calculation.. I was toying with trying to write a little program that would take a VQ map offset into bin file and size and then a K value and compute the curve but never got anywhere with it..

I say, dump all of the AFM stuff and go buy a standalone and then put some of that knowledge into tuning one of them. There's not really much to gain out of toying with Rom programs, AFMs, etc except a blown engine and a crap load of unanswered riddles. That's just my $.02.... Since my CA18DE ecu was the 1st to get programmed by JWT for turbo, I was the guinea pig and it cost me a couple of good motors (lesson learned). If you had access to a dyno facility and wide band O2 sensor, then I wouldn't see the harm at toying with Rom tuning. But for the DIYer, it's a pain..............

The reason that I am asking, is because I would like to know what each one of them specs are for curiousity and more knowledge for sure.Personally I haven't had problems with jwt, I have been using it for over 6 years now, never blew any engines yet, yes they do run rich like hell, but so far, I am ok with it, but not sure about the people driving behind me getting high on fumes lol :D
