Ok so today I decided to switch to a ka24e maf... but it actually runs worst I tried changing the afc settings around but I couldnt figure it out so that leads to my question what are your settings or your setup with the ka24e maf thanks.

last I heard 1:1 is the standard setting for a stock system to stock maf.... as in no modification nessacary.

though If I had a "stockish" maf, I think I would delete the AFC and be done with it.

maybe the KA MAF is junk?? try switching back to the stock MAF and if it runs, just leave it.

food for thought, switching the CA MAF sensor into the KA housing could be a good idea. KA housing is bigger but retain stock MAF?? idk i would try it, but the KA MAF housing doesn't fit the stock intake tube

Thats the thing my stock maf was poo from the jump I had a z32 maf and it was running ok I just wanted the car to run "normal". And also the hose that comes off the cold side and connects to the AICV do I have to put a tee in there and connect it that way or is there a connection meant for it.
