To those people that have removed the cover from their l jet air flow meter.
The "circiut board" seems to have some tuneing resistors. These are spaced
along the 1/2 moon wiper resistor and seem to be laser cut to give the air
meter the proper output curve.
When useing a larger air meter, how about useing a few 10 turn pots to
replace the stock fixed tuneing resistors? Something like this: reduce the
low flow voltage output to match the stock meter, but allow the voltage to max
out when the vane is wide open.
Or tune the larger AFM to match the flow = voltage of the smaller AFM then use
a extra injector to supply fuel once the computer is maxed out. Re: wide open
small AFM = 3/4 open large AFM, extra fuel from spare injector when large AFM
is wide open.
Also it may be possible to alter a stock AFM so the mixture is leaned or
ritchened at various parts of the fuel curve.
The most difficult part may be attaching the wires the the board. It seems to
be ceramic with film resistors "painted" on. Soldering may not work,
drilling and useing small bolts might work it the creamic won't break. A
final last ditch effort may be to use small coil springs on a plate to contact
the resistors.
Reprogramming the ECM would be a whole lot easier if the locations are known.
This would be for the weird un known cars.
I'd have to sit down and test/graph this stuff to see if it will work, These
are just a few ideas that have been floating around. Any thoughts?
