Ok,
Well i am going to go with a computer tuner mod for my blazer and i was just wondering what your opinions are on the following ones i have found.

-Hypertech programer
-Jet stage 2 module-
-Venom 400 Module

I was leaning with the Venom because i have heard a lot of good things about them and they are really cool, but i still am not sure.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I read that cuttin out the screen on the mass airflow sensor is bad to do. The screen is there to help spred out the air evenly for the lil sinsors. It could cause you to run a lil rich or lean. Any one else ever read this befre???

 

Cutting the screen does absolutely no performance mods...And especially nothing that you would even notice.

The chances are that if you do try and remove the screen you would damage one of the sensors...The screeens are there for a reason and with the little sensors i would bet that they are there for a positive reason.

This is not a freebie mod...because it aint free if you damage your MAF. Just buy a CAI. Which REALLY Helps!!! And i mean really! Now i pull away down the highway all the way till the governor with no problems.

 

first, no you prolly wouldnt notice a dif but it is a popular mod that..many people on a lot of other s10 forums do this mod... so the impression i get is that it is a legit. mod.... second you will not damage any of the sensors taking out the screen...when i took my screen out i stuck my finger down the MAF and touched the screen lightly and it fell out no prob... as far as spreading out the air better for the sensors to read it, air is air the sensors are going to read it no matter what... you will not damage you MAF by taking out the screen....

 

Speaking from experience when I tried to modify the screen on my Porsche 944 turbos MAF sensor the screen was very hard to take off and in turn i damaged one of the sensors from moving it around too much....probably just because it was a porsche and the sensor was very accurate so after the i took the screen out it starting running very lean. This also has something to do with the ARC-2 fuel controller but still I dont believe that taking out the screen can give you more power, or more air....Possibly the screen may interupt the flow of air, but you are still getting the same amount of air.

Either way...If you want to take the screen out...dont drop the sensor. MMM...I may actually take out my screen now just based on the fact that it does interupt the flow of air....But is there a possibility it could read too lean?

 

Just like time toblaze said...air is air...it's going to get through no matter what. Yeah, having the screen probably restricts air flow but not that much. I don't know how a screen can help disperse air flow more evenly though. But I'm not the engineer of the engine. After all, it is a modification...no one is making anyone do this. So take it out or leave it in, it's all based on your opinions. I think that I'll just buy a Grantelli MAF instead and be safe either way.

 

i agree....

 

I ORDERED THE K&N CAI FROM EBAY. INSTALLED IT IN ABOUT AN HOUR. AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT MADE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN POWER AND SOUNDED LOUDER--NICE! I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MODS, ONCE I SLAPPED ON THE DUAL EXHAUST IT MADE IT EVEN BETTER.
