non working MAF

I'm looking for a non working MAF sensor to join together a SLP cold air intake for a1994 camaro z28 to the rubber 90 intake tube. I have a 1993 camaro z28. Shipping to 33541
Or other ideas welcome. Right now I have it together using ductwork from home dept. It looks cheesy. Lol
Please pm me.

Re: non working MAF

I don't know anything about the size of the sensor but the collector on the slp is about 3.75 the rubber 90 intake is about 3. I have 2 different size openings and I was figuring the sensor to mach that set up seeing slp sells is for cars with a sensor. Thanks for the idea. I'll have to try lows for something better.

Re: non working MAF

some textured rustoleum black can make PVC look stockish. Might need to get creative with fittings but should be able to work something out.

If I get a chance I will see if I can find the Granatelli someone gave me after they found out they were junk. He wanted me to document the way they can underreport airflow and then the thing died minutes after I installed it. If I can find it I will get back to you, the benfit for you would be it doesn't have the wing inside so while a stock sensor is not a restriction on a normal NA build this would be even less of a potential restriction. I moved a while back though and have no idea where it as at this time, so IF I can find it is a big IF.

Granatelli meters have a warranty. They don't under report airflow They flow more air than stock and are calibrated as such. In the past, the manipulation to the curve stemmed from trying to make the meter "talk" to various ECM’s

The chatter about the Granatelli meters not working started about the same time LS1 and LT1 edit were invented. Guys were trying different things and when they could not use a stock MAF curve as stored (offered) by the LS1 Edit and LT1 Edit software, they simply blamed the meter

We are talking about the evolution of LT1 and LS-series performance parts. Naturally the technology changed over the years. The Granatelli MAFs were considered "state of the art" in 1994 when they first came out. They were darn near "the standard" from 1994 to 2002. If you had any type of forced induction where the stock meter was a restriction, the GMS meter could be ordered calibrated to your exact application. We sold 500 to 650 units a month just for Camaro, Corvette and Impala.

Granatelli worked hand in hand with Delphi to design and develop meters which started life as Mass Airflow Sensors for trucks and eventually found their way to the 2001 and beyond Corvette and then GTO. We continue our successful relationship with Delphi, Hitachi, GM and Ford to this very day

SLP used our design meter and soldered a resister across the meter bars to make them work in various Camaro applications because they could not calibrate meters. That’s what everyone means when they say "trick" or "fool" the ECM into thinking it is doing something it is not. The Granatelli meters are still the only performance and aftermarket MAFs that are 50 state emissions legal and the fact that they are 50 state legal tells you they are calibrated perfectly. If a Granatelli meter were tricking the ECM it would never pass emissions. It a bit confusing when people make bawd claims like Granatelli meters don't work because they do when used as intended and designed. They make the promised power gains and they are backed by the only industry warranty by any company.

As technology changed so did Granatelli. Today most GM applications use a standardized "slot design" meter. Meaning a ZR1 has the same MAF as a Spark, Sonic or Cruise. (Not always but for the most part) The meter is now more generic and the ECM is more specialized.

Here are a few examples of what Granatelli has done that others have not:



Direct replacement MAF for 1985-89 GM cars. These parts are new not junkyard cores and we make them end user adjustable



Proudly (above) you will find the culmination of a huge joint effort between Granatelli and General Motors. This meter is now sold nationally and is considered the standard to which all others are compared. This meter is a direct replacement for all the discontinued GM MAFs from 1994 to 2004. There are specific meters designed to replace the broken and warn out stock units for all 4.3, 5.0, 5.7 and 7.4 engines. These are not a 1 size fits all part they are tuned to each application to insure 100,000 miles or trouble free performance and driving
