Default Apexi PFC & Z32 MAF Sensor

Calling Apexi PFC experts.....

I have the Apexi PFC that uses a MAF Sensor. When one has reached maximum air flow for the sensor (mine is peaking at about 5040mv on a Z32 MAF) what options are there for further power increases? Do I have to change to a MAP sensor based ecu, or is there another MAF sensor with a bigger scale that I can use?

Any help is appreciated!

Not sure if the Q45 can read higher, its a 90mm housing so it might do. Otherwise put the Z32 element in a 90mm housing and rescale?

What sort of setup do you have, seems as you have a more than massive turbo and open airfilter!
Would be very happy if you could send me your MAF scaling for the Z32 MAF, as I´m looking for the numbers for ages!

That's food for thought, thank you Jay.

Sorry the set up is not on my daily drive Subaru, it is on a 2nd car I use for a bit of drag racing. It's a TD06 25g on an RB25 engine currently running 543hp at 1.6 bar. I use a skyline forum but I am at work at the moment and the damn surf control is blocking it.

Thanks for the reply!
Which MAF setting do you use?
So you drive a Skyline, right?

Hi Simon,

Do you mean replace the PFC I have with a DJetro version? Can the one I have be converted to DJetro?

Hi again! I don't map the car myself so I don't know what MAF setting is used. Would I be able to tell from the Commander? The car is a skyline gtst (rear wheel drive).

You would have to use Datalogit, I really do not know much about the handcontroller, but you should have access to it too!
Many thanks for your help!

Is it possible to use the airflownumbers from the other R32 settings on the GC8?
