Z32 Problem

[Blown240sx]

I posted this in my other post but I doubt anyone would read it cause of the title of the other post. So Ill post this as a seperate question.

My Z32 MAF is setup in a blow through setup (meaning it is mounted on the throttle body past the turbo and BOV)

Problem is my MAF is reading 3 volts while the car is off..... Totally OFF

Is it done for?

Not sure, but any chance you could elaborate on your setup? I'm interested in doing (blow through) that setup as well. Mainly because I'm not recirculating my BOV. What are some of the benefits of that setup as well?

The Blow through allows you to blow off into the atmosphere without losing already calculated air. The bad thing is the MAF can go bad faster this way and not all MAF can handle it.

Is the Z32 rugged enough to handle it? I do have a spare but it's a N-60 and not an N-62 like the one on my car now. Are there any more pro's or con's to doing this setup? Thanks for the info BTW.

1 good thing about a blow through setup and the main reason i am considering it is that if ur intercooler piping blows off, u could still drive the car just like a NA car until u get the piping back together.

Why not just install and tighten everything down correctly? Then you won't have to worry about charge piping blowing off.

and with all the atmospheric BOV you can see let alone hear on a LOT of 240's and other cars, it cant be that bad of a setup to NOT have a blow through, and just blow off already calculated air

just run a little rich on decel

I dont see why your anti to the setup. It doesnt hurt the car and if anything it gives you a more accurate A/F since its seeing the air after it has gone through the whole system (pressure drops, leaks).
