whats max?

[tony/ka24de]

Whats the max boost the ka24de should run and be very reliable? (255 fuel pump,370s, hacked maf,2 1/2 inch exhaust, t3 turbo)

[:: orion ::]

No more than 10...

That should net you around ~240rwhp from that T3, an dbe plenty safe if you addressed the timing.

You using an intercooler???

hacked maf = unreliable

[andrave]

not if you do it right, why would it be unreliable?

How many people do you know that actually did it right, vs how many people got it wrong?

[hannibal]

Well theres a little more trial and error than using an SAFC or a JWT ECU. But looking at Orion and AceInHole's setup, its fairly reliable once you get it setup right.

[tony/ka24de]

how many people use the hacked mafs with success?

[andrave]

2.

lol

that I know of.but I don't know anyone that has tried it and failed, just people that mulled it around and said "**** it, JWT is plug and play."(stares in mirror, smiles, and nods.)

[:: orion ::]

Hmmm...unreliable.

After testing and blowing one motor (JWT N/A upgrade + boost is bad...hehe. And that had nothing to do with my fuel system...)

How about daily driving for +1 year, numerous auto-x events, 2 private open track events at a 1.1 mile roadcourse, a track day at Sebring, etc...stills runs great.

Say what you like, but it's proven to be VERY reliable for me so far. 8-9psi, a little over 250rwhp....that's about the limit, but it's good enough for me.

im using the hacked mafs and its working great for me. ive had no problems related to it. i dont see how you can say its unreliable.

[BONES S13]

whats the hacked maf?

[SloS13]

its modifying your MAF's output voltage by changing the diameter of the housing, thus reqiring less voltage to heat the wire. Ecu sees less air, shortens injector pulsewidth.

Sorry you asked yet? lol
