Folks,

What's the go with the Air Flow Meter on a Vitara EFI? I get the impression that they don't come with them and need some sorting or something along those lines?

Fill me in please.

Thanks.

too late for that you've already got the cap engine in

Cheat.

Put something that does weigh the 'approved' mass, on the weighbridge

Yes it's wrong, but then again, %99.9 of people would believe you.....

The MPFI system has a MAF Mass Airflow sensor attached to the air cleaner upper case and connected to the throttle body by a long rubber duct.

Sorry Guy,

What i meant was:

When installing a vitara 1600 into a sierra i know there there are certain processes to be performed. i.e. matching the engine to a sierra 5 speed, oil sump and pickup etc.

Is there some kind of trick required with the air flow meter too? i get the impression that there is.

Thanks Chris - i think that's pretty standard with all EFI type engines - i'm just wondering if there is a trick requried to get the motor into a sierra and have it working correctly though.

are you thinking 'bout going back to a 1.6 so u can have a road-legal zook?

I am unaware of any "special" requirements .. have a look on Izook.com I am pretty sure that they have a detailed descriotion on there of a 16V install, So long as you get the air flow sensor with the motor you should be good to go ..

'fraid so... It's not the first option, but it is definately a realistic one.

what are you going to do about the beadlocks & swampers then? So what happened with Zega and the emissions report, they can't find it or can't be bothered to find it? Surely Vic Roads must have a record that Zega have submitted the relevant info on their database?

There are many options grimbo - i have had a few weeks to think it all through now.

It's all very secret squirrel, and it's all going to cost me a shedload.

I think an engineered car with swampers and beadlocks is far more legal than a non-engineered car with swampers and beadlocks.

After removing the neck from the box, we also had to remove the sensor that is made into the box. We were careful not to harm the sensor in any way, but the box seems like it got the bad end of the stick. You can see a hole where the sensor used to be (lower left photo). We drilled a hole in the cone filter and then installed the sensor.

The 1.6 in my GV has an airflow meter... so I am guessing so would the more recent Vitaras (same engine as I understand it)...
