VE maf vs. Maxima maf vs. bored DE maf

paNX2K&SE-R · 05-17-2004, 08:18 AM

Is there any power advantage to using one over the other? It would be easier for me to stick with the bored DE maf since I won't have to change to a b14 connector or get a new maf adapter. But if I would gain power by using the VE or Maxima maf then I would switch. I'm asking because I need to tell JWT what maf I want for my ecu program.

I'm thinking maybe the Maxima and VE/Pathfinder MAF may have power gains, 75mm(3") maf vs. 54mm. They can also both measure more air. I redrilled my MAF adapter. Just a little info to help.

No power gains under 190 hp. around that hp the bigger maf gains 1-3 hp because its more free flowing.The ve maf also good for more HPthan stock sr20.

also i dont believe any power gains unless you have a 3 inch intake and larger tb.

Well I plan on getting the HS Gen 6 with VE flange, 3" exhaust, and the cams. I'll prob add a 50 shot at some point too.

I have a HS cai which is 3" in diameter but I havn't changed the TB.

I'm using a VE(Pathfinder) MAF, becuase I got it cheap, my ECU was being programmed, so that saves money, and my DE MAF was bad. If you are getting a JWT ECU, and can get a Pathfinder MAF for cheap, do it. You will also need a bigger coupler for the CAI, and a Maxima MAF adapter from PlaceRacing. Hotshot doesn't make an intake for the Maxima, so they don't have it.

Does it matter what year maxima for the adapter?

I picked up a 96 Maxima maf with pigtail today for $40. I just called JWT to do the chip swap. I need to free up the bored de maf for my se-r so I can upgrade to the 4-bar program

I was going to order one of those cheapo Maxima filters from Ebay that have a maf adapter then comes with them. Anyone gotten one of them before?
