JeffGarcia77 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I found out about this on a BMW website (www.teamdfl.com/bmw/e28/induction/maf.html), then I called Modern Performance at (732) 222-3679 in West Long Branch, NJ, to ask if they could develop a Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) conversion for the 280Z-280ZX, and he told me they already have it! The price includes the MAF, cone air filter, and a piggyback computer which can control other things (like additional injectors, etc., etc.) in addition to converting the signals from the new MAF into signals the Datsun ECU can use. I've been looking for something like this for a long time, because the idea of having the restriction of the Air Flow Meter flap (vane) in the intake tract has always bothered me. I KNOW it HAS to be holding this good Datsun engine back, in terms of power and response. Modern Performance's e-mail address is mp23cc@aol.com I was unable to find a website for them. I spoke briefly on the phone to a very friendly, informative guy at the above number. He should be willing and able to answer all your questions by e-mail or phone.

Challenger Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Sounds pretty cool! What was the price? Did he mention selling any of them or did he have any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffGarcia77 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Derek, I believe the price he told me was $965, but you might want to confirm that with the guy at Modern Performance. Yeah, he sells them apparently. Take a look at the link to teamdfl.com that I provided in my first post. It shows a picture of the MAF and air filter installed on a 1988 BMW (pic doesn't show much detail, but...) I think MOST of his customers are BMW and Porsche guys (many of whom also have Bosch FI with AFMs as original equipment). Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 For nearly $1000 you could go to standalone, if it was cheaper It would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffGarcia77 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 I assume you mean a stand alone system that is Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor driven? (MegaSquint?). I kinda prefer the idea of having a MAF. It seems to be, from what I've read, a more accurate device for measuring the amount of air entering the engine.

Kash Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Much cheaper to get a zxt wiring harness and do the z31 MAF conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Much cheaper to get a zxt wiring harness and do the z31 MAF conversion. Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
