Is anyone here using the ECU Plus with a GM MAF? What is involved and how does it work?

Dan

 

Basically, you wire up your GM MAF in place of your Mitsubishi MAF, set a jumper on the ECU+ device, tell the software what you are doing...and then you're ready to roll. I've actually got TWO MAF's on my car at this very moment, a GM one and a Mitsubishi one, in series. We've switched between them with no noticable difference. It works!

Note, however, that you may have to re-tweak your fuel mapping, especially if you use the GM sensor in "blow through" configuration (that is, after the turbo). Our baseline measurements for the GM sensor were made with the GM MAF in the stock location. Your GM MAF may vary, so do plan to do fuel tuning accordingly.

ANd who is this ???

Actually a new product is in for the Evo. Check out http://www.maftpro.com/ with this you are able to run speed density and get rid of a MAF all together.

 

Dan: Could you please post some pictures of your MAF setup?
Is it possible to set the 3" GM MAF just after the BOV/Recirc valve?
TIA

 

yeah thats what i was planning on doing. i know on dsm's thats where it is run most of the time wich allows for a vta bov, and a blowthru setup to the turbo. yeah if you could post pics up on how to wire that in i would also appreciate it

 

Uh, there's not much to see. I just have the GM MAF where my OEM MAF would be, and then there's a filter on top of it.

Yes, you could certainly put the MAF in the intercooler pipe after the BOV. Lots of DSM guys do it this way. Note that the MAF may respond differently in this mode (since you have much higher denstiy air under load), so you'll probably need to recalibrate your fuel settings.

yeah thats what i figured, but i was wondering more about how to wire in the gm maf

 

Electrical wiring-wise, it's outlined in the manual. If you haven't bought a unit yet, download the software from the ECU+ web site and have a look at the PDF manual. It's all in there.

yeah i just read through the manual on the wiring section today, i had no idea it was in there. i also learned alot of new stuff from it... seems quite easy i should be done with mine next week.
