Supra MAF Compatibility

by **CamryOnBronze** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 11:46 am

I just bought a Supra MAF kit from Joe and the instructions say it is to be used with the Injen SRI with CAI extension... I know this kit came out a while ago, but Im wondering if that really is the case. I dont really want to run that setup, so i was wondering if there is any way to use the Supra MAF with the stock airbox or with a CPE intake. I wasnt able to find an answer through searching and I apologize if this has been asked before, Im just trying to decide if I even want to up the boost in the spring or stay at 4 psi. Any help would be appreciated.

the problem is that the supra MAF is made for either 2.5in tube in and out... its not a drop in type of sensor... its circular and is made to be in place of some of the pipe

why is the injen + Cai less than CPE for ur standards?

not sure I understand what you mean... I didn't do the CPE intake because I already had the injen and ext. before the CPE came out...I liked my setup very much

I really dont want to run a CAI... just the idea of them has always made me kind of nervous, i dont know... that and the extension looks kind of hack IMO... I dont know, I guess Im just being picky :lol:

Also the fact that they dont make the Injen CAI extension anymore, but I guess a used one could pop up...

I realize the sensor is circular, i just wondered if there was any other setup it worked with... thanks for the info.

Injen didn't make the extension.. underpressure fabrication did... they quit making them

You really should not need an injen intake because you are using an inline maf. I would just get a 92-95 civic short ram intake and cut in half then put the supra sensor in the middle. It should work i TRIED A SIMILAR SETUP WHEN MAKING CUSTOM INTAKES BUT i NEVER GOT THE SUPRA WIRING RIGHT. Opps damn caps.

Kinda like this one. But you may need to mod it a little for vacuum but i looks like it has the 3 required and it is 2.5 inch piping so it will prob work.

I know that injen didnt make the extension... thats why I dont like it. It looks like a ghetto piece of pipe to me, no offense to anyone :lol:

just not what im looking for in this car...

Thanks for the help Midias, Im going to think things over before I decide what im doing with upping the boost.

All i know is the Supra turbo MAF is the worlds most advanced sensor used in automotive applications that are mass-produced.

Using lasers and mirrors, thats crazy. Awesome and crazy accurate, but crazy none-the-less.

Wow mine must be an old TT model because it uses 2 wires like every other kind of MAF sensor.

then why are you doing this?

I believe the only way to run it is with a SRI with an extension. Either Injen, CPE, or a homemade one it wouldn't matter. I don't know how you'll be able to hook it up with the stock box.
I got rid of my UPFD extension and now I'm using a 3" 45 degree bent pipe, which I didn't even have to modify. This is much better IMO, and it doesn't cost as much.

^that makes sense, thanks for the info... that helps!

I really didnt know much about it, thats why I asked...

lol...in this particular case, too bad you dont' have a gen3 1mzfe....the supra maf can just drop right in place of the stock maf while keeping the stock airbox if you really wanted to

I would say that you pretty much have to pick up a short-ram or cai for your car...

OR...if you can source any v6 1mzfe piping/hosing from a gen3 camry, it may fit up to the gen4 air box...
