No, your foot controls that.Would you anticipate a precipitous drop in mileage due to the much higher boost levels? If so, I am totally cool with it -- would just want to anticipate this in the cost of ownership.
It's going to be very very close on the base 1.5 MAF.
Not needed I think, it should clear.
Turbo upgrade increases airflow, so it has everything to do with the MAF lol.
Thought he was talking about fitment.. my bad. He said housing, so assumed it was about fitment. Ofcourse extra air flow will throw off the air and fuel hence why the tune would be needed. Sorry for the assumption lol.
Im confused on what you mean by upgrading the housing. Care to elaborate?
Yes, it is different. But only slightly. It should fit
Because the housing the MAF resides in directly affects the amount of air seen by the senor, which uses a 0-5v reference to tell the ECU the amount of air coming into the engine. Larger diameter housing will show less relative flow allowing for more headroom once the ecu has been mapped to account for this change. The factory arrangement will be near maximum voltage with this turbo it sounds like.
I understand that part.
That’s what I was trying to get at.. thank you. So if you have the non si and upgrade the turbo, what else is needed besides the tune? That’s the concern. Or do you need to have the Si/crv turbo to do the upgrade? It kinda sounds like it’s smarter to get the Si turbo and then do the upgrade.
