Question Evo 3G mafs. Are they an upgrade over 2G?

I have heard that the evo stock maft are an upgrade over the 2G. I am interested if there is truth behind this and if anyone has actually tried it.

Yes you can flow more. The 2g maf outflows around 2800hz (IIRC) and the evo maf flows 30%, I think up to 3200hz.
Just get it and get the plug, wire it in and if you have dsmlink you have to change all the airflow sliders. There is a writeup on the dsmlink wiki. We did it on my friends car and changed the airflow sliders and it runs great. Fixed his stalling issues too, somehow.

Oh wow... Didn't know that with the 2G maf. I have recorded a little over 2800Hz on the SAFC2 but just a little over, like 2820Hz. I don't have DSMlink so right there may pose a problem with the conversion.
What happens after the limit of the maf and the turbo is flowing more?

Re: Evo 3G mafs. Are they an upgrade over 2G?

The maf will start to "mis-count" the air, it may go from 2850hz to 2000hz and back to 2700hz in a split second. It may or may not be noticable as I've never run a 2g mas to its limit but I have a few 1g's. Generally the car just starts breaking up at its peak power and the a/f goes all over the place.

Re: Evo 3G mafs. Are they an upgrade over 2G?

Here are the correction values when starting with a 2G MAF:

http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/evo8mafsettings

Since these are in Hz, you'll have to figure out what RPM to make the changes. Start with around 30% on the lower few RPM points, 25% in the mid, and 20% up top and fine tine from there. Or just get V3 in a week.

Ok... I'm going to try and graph the Karman Hz to see if I see it break up. Its feeling a little wierd up top when I raised the boost a little. And I get a little knock even though I richen the mixture.

If I see this breakup than I guess I'm going with a 482 or a 501 and DSMLink. Wonder why its not all over the forums.

Could it be because gas stations are using the "winter blend" of E78 (or something like that) now rather than E85? You may be running lower octane than you were before. It has something to do with E85 being hard to start in the winter... just a thought...

Re: Evo 3G mafs. Are they an upgrade over 2G?

My Stock 2G MAF reads fine right up to around 3000hz maybe a little more.

Also if you get DSMLink you can simply use Fake Maf once you start missing counts, no need to upgrade MAF's...

DSMLink is one of my next upgrades. I will still check the Karman signal graph to see if I get a break up. Maybe it was a fluke but alot of people (in my research) have stated mas over run after 2700Hz. I refiled with a fresh tank of E85 mix so I'll do a couple pulls to see what happens.
At least I know that there is another option other than the GM maf and now I know of the option in link.

Fake maf option uses boost as an input?

Evo maf runs great. I know a guy running 1150's with just a evo maf, safc and e85. Usually the safc could not handle them but the evo maf leans the car way out so it was fine. Very cheap way to through some large injectors with control to swap over to e85.

Your best bet would be to just get the gm maft if you plan on running a mas air still Its such a better investment.
