Some guy gave me a maf sensor from a 96 cobra, tuned for 24 #'ers...now it fits and all, but the harness doesnt quite match up, i have no problem cutting up the connection, but do the four prongs on the harnes, meet properly with the four prongs on the sensor?

what do you think this is...research, dur?
you ever try to fit a mark8 harness into a cobra maf sensor, it dont fit.
so other than the fittment, the electronics side of things, does it match up, it looks like it does, but you never know with f-rods.

there is a company that makes a connector that will fit. Just dont hook up the air temp sensor. that is what the 2 extra wires are for.
once it is fitted the transfer function for the maf will be wrong. The LMS unit suddenly looks like a better option huh ?? LOL

i have the lms unit...there is no sensor included in the deal, its just the housing and the filter.

The best option with the least troubles is the stock maf housing...

iv always thought that and said that, and now after havin a bigger one with no need for it (no exhaust or nothin like that to require better induction), i continue to believe the stock one is best suited for it. When i get the new sensor im gonna try the stocker again and then the lms maf, at the track, and ill see for myself just what the diffrence is. I do like the k/n like filter though.

Yeah, at least it looks cool.MrWilson said:
I actually modified my stock maf housing to accept a cone filter...hehe.. Im selling it to my friend this week though.MarkVIII93 said:Yeah, at least it looks cool.
what'd you do to the stock housing, did you cut the squarish part?

Yes, I chopped the mother fcuker right off. I had to use a die grinder on it too. I ended up painting it black because of all the scuff marks it had on it.MrWilson said:

Your best bet would be to get a junkyard housing and play with that one...MrWilson said:

Um, they make cheap MAF adapters so you don't have to do that.
