280z MAF sensor?


Recommended Posts

The 280ZX ECU is not set up for MAF' date=' only the 300's are.[/quote']

 

I realize this, but the ECU doesnt know weather it has an door-flap AFM or a hot-wire MAF, all it sees is voltages and resistence.

 

Im not sure exaxtly what sort of outputs the MAF has, nor the 280zx AFM, but it may be possible to run the MAF on the 280zx ECU with slight modifications....who knows.

 

The slight modifications include reversing the slope on the voltage input to the ECU, and calibrating the base value. Not trivial. A microcontroller with a good A/D and D/A could be programmed to do it, or if you are good at analog amplifier electronics, equally simple. ;)

haha, thanks SleeperZ. I think maybe that might be a but much for me...

 

I'm actually thinking now of swapping in an RB30E computer. You can program the PROM chip on that, and they are abundant here.

 

Im hoping that the 300zx MAF I have will hook up to it, and also the Ford falcon TB(64mm) I have (from an early 90's 4 Litre falcon, maybe you have similar ones there). It's not switch type like the L28E standard item.

 

Now that I think of it the RB30E ECU could be suprisingly similar to the Z31 88-89. The RB30E is a 3.0 Litre 6 cylinder sold from 88 onwards I think. It has a MAF as well (although smaller than the 300zx, the engines were used in family sedans).
