I have a question on the MAF....Now I have checked out some specs on the MAF and it sounds to me that it is a "hot wire" sensor....Now does anybody know what a "Karman" type sensor is.....like the ones on the Mitsubishi..Eclipse, Mirage, etc..etc..
The Apexi Super AFC is a relief...to those who want an economic way to change airflow parameter. It's working real good so far.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0>:thumbup

For the S-AFC to properly work on the BETA engines that use MAF sensors, you need to select Hotwire and type 01 in/out. If you leave it at type 00, it doesn't correct enough...

Karman Vortex sensors are similar to a MAF in that they directly measure flow. They are different however in that they measure the airflow by way of a frequency versus a voltage... MAF = a wire that's heated, and then needs voltage to keep that wire to the same heat because of the air cooling it off. Karman = a little reed that resonates from all the incoming air, and the resonance is sent as an analog signal to the ECU.

Hey man thanks for the info and keep in touch for the first time in 3 months I'll be able to put the Elantra on the track after some major tuning...Thanks again.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

A MAFS is a MAFS is a MAFS is a MAFS. Mass Air Flow Sensor is what the acronym stands for and it doesn't matter whether its a hot-wire, thin-film, or karman vortex counter they are all still a MAFS. The difference is the signal that is generated but they all still measure air mass.

The reason I was asking was because The Super AFC has 4 sensors to chose from. So I had to make sure that it was a hot wire and not a Karman Vortex. Thanks for the info. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>
