Vy v6 mafless tune

[Beauzza]

Just wondering what would be better for a n/a v6 for flow and power gain?
Ls2 maf or maffless tune?

[vyseriesII]

I would put a bigger maf and tune it to that. Otherwise, if you want to apear to be legal you will have to leave the maf in anyway in mafless tune.

[Beauzza]

Y is it illegal to have a mafless?

[vyseriesII]

emission laws afaik

[Beauzza]

Oh thats fkd.. Oh wel if its worth doin il see how long i last

[vyseriesII]

Or just do that. It's not till police or Queensland transport check under your hood anyway. Just dont do something to make them do a roadside inspection

[Beauzza]

Im in wa, is it the same rules with that?

[vyseriesII]

good question... Id say there Aus wide but you never know these days

[Beauzza]

What are the power gains like?

[one_and_only2004]

I doubt theres any gains worth bragging about. Ecotecs don't have a MAP sensor so you'd have to have one of those installed and wired up as well.

[Beauzza]

Yeah i know, can get it dun pretty cheap.. So bout 10 rwhp?

[DevilDRake]

10 RWHP sounds around right with the right exhaust etc, but that being said it's only like 1-3RWHP more than doing just a CAI kit.. which is cheaper and alot easier to do.

I'd go MAFLESS for L67 or bigger power. Everytime you add a mod you'd have to get a retune aswell on mafless.

Last time i got dynod i made 205 rwhp without touching the intake.. Iv done everythin i can mod wise (i think)
Without touching the heads.. So im just chasing the last bits of power b4 i call it quits.. I cant wait to see wat numbers she
Pulls..

I'm pretty much doing the same to my car. Though i may look at heads too.

Beau,

Given you're application I would be leaning more to upgrading the MAF only.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Steve

[Beauzza]

Oh tru, wat mods have u done so far? Wat numbers u seeing?

[vyseriesII]

Not sure of power output. Never been on a dyno. Was hoping to get on a dyno after the tune.

[Beauzza]

Wat u mean dyno after the tune? R u gettin a road tune or sumthin?

[vyseriesII]

Waiting for mace to have a remote tune available for v6

[Beauzza]

Haha fairo.. I reckon do ur mods then get a custom dyno.. Not every cars the same..

[vyseriesII]

I'll see how this goes first. Custom on the dyno tunes are too expensive for me.

[Beauzza]

How much do they charge over ur way? Wld be good to see wat ur car runs a custom tune wld get alot more outta ur car if u get heads done

[vyseriesII]

Chiptorque want like $1100+. And for what it is, thats way to friggin dear for something that just makes drivability a bit better. You bearly get any power gains, it like about 5 kw. A lot of money for 5 kw

Heads will take me a while to get money together so tune in the mean time will just make thinks a little better till i can get heads. I can just update the tune when i get the heads too.

[Beauzza]

Yeah fair enough.. Upto u at the end of the day.. Its a big money trap though lol

[vyseriesII]

lmao .. indeed it is. Might be heading out to a test and tune over here in the near future. For shits and giggles. Get a before and after tune runs in and just see what it does if anything to a 1/4 time.
