Question about Apexi PowerFC MAF choices

[vizi0n]

Hi all

I was just looking at my options in the PowerFC and noticed "Super Intake" in the MAF selection. What is this "Super Intake" exactly? Apexi filter with stock MAF readings?

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

yep thats right

 

[vizi0n]

So i should be using the "Super Intake" MAF setting instead of the RNN14 if I have a cone (Apexi Power Intake) filter?

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

its the filter which has the hole in the middle i believe which is suposed to draw more air in

Mine's like that, but I'm installing my Z32 MAF as soon as I get my coupling. I was just curious to know if it would've changed anything to my current running.

The MAF setting is nothing to do with the filter installed. Looking in the PFC through the datalogit, the two MAF's are calibrated differently which means its either a different MAF housing (slightly larger bore) or a different sensor. i've never seen one to comment.

That's why I was asking what this was as I have never seen or found any thing related to that on the net.

what i posted was bollox, cos i just looked at FC-edit.

the "super intake" was just the predecessor to the "power intake"

just guessing here: the different maf settings may be their reference/acknowledgement to the stock airbox being a restrictive design, so when running a pod (or different box design) there is an increased flow...

 

[campbellju]

Could be some dodgy marketing from Apexi I guess

The calibration settings are 1-4% different across the range so its something and nothing.

It means that setting will give a marginally higher load value than stock for the same MAF voltage and run marginally richer? Bizarre

Thanks for your input everyone

that hole in the middle of the filter is designed to increase the amount of airflow being drawn into the filter like a ram effect hence why the values are different to the standard maf
