Just looking into the JET performance mass airflow sensor. Easy bolt on part for our 3.7's but it has no reviews and no official dyno results. Anybody have that or any official benefit info on that? It would be a nice cheap mod for the extra torque.

Link? Where's it from? I've never heard if it, but I know I'd be interested.

i have one installed in my car. it has not been dyno'd to show any results yet. i didnt notice anything really huge in gain

 

[Tigs51]

Heres the link below, i didnt imagine it would give any crazy performance benefits but if it give it a bit noticable pep, then im down.

I'm going to be installing their oil pressure sensor. Good for 12 to 15 hp! Can't wait!

Sounds legit. I just ordered their MAF. I believe that JET makes some good quality products and it seems like they make performance airflow sensors for almost every vehicle so i doubt ill be dissapointed.

Im at that broke as hell, no money cause i bought a new car but still want cheap ass bolt on mods do it your self under $200.
Ive already got my Airaid and ive got plans for straight pipes. Anyother poorman ideas for do it your selfs people? Gimme something to do!!!! so..... bored.....

I'm sorry; their was a HUGE dose of sarcasm on my post. I really feel you wasted some cash if you bought a different MAF, (in general) and *anything* from JET (in particular). Would make a good doorstop maybe.

Ford designed the engine management around a very specific set of parameters, and predicted data response. What do you suppose the good folks at JET knows that the Ford engineers who designed, tested, analyzed, retested, and produced a particular sensor don't know? HINT: I would bet a bucket of marbles against a bucket of poo that the sensor you bought is a re-badged ford part if you're lucky, and a re badged generic Chinese replacement part if your not.

 

[Grabber2012]

Dittos - So, you lack extra $$$ but bought a MAF? Why not something you'll notice, such as a SCT from Bama?

Its an early monday morning at work for me when i made this post, i missed that sarcasm XD well whats done is done. If i dont like it, ill send it back. Otherwise ill let you guys know if i stumbled upon a nifty gadget. Dont be so doubtful fella ;P

I'm not one to lay in to other companies, I just want to be clear about that, but here's the thing about aftermarket MAFs:

Do you need one or do you not need one? The thing about the newer model Ford Mass Air Meters is that they are incredibly accurate. Very few aftermarket MAFs will compare to their ability to both be repeatable and accurate.

Most applications will never need a MAF upgrade at all (unless you are under a heavy forced induction setup, tons of mods etc..).

If you do not have the NEED for an aftermarket MAF, I recommend avoiding the whole things because you will run in to repeatability problems down the road as you add other bolt-ons to the car.

Like others have said here, you'd be better off spending your hard earned cash on a tuner like the inTune than on something like this that just "fools" your car into thinking the airflow is different than stock.

 

[vivix]

so you just bought the sensor? how does a sensor flow 41% more air than stock when it's in the same sized tube?

depending on application and power goals/ supporting mods, a larger MAF tube and recalibrated sensor (read: tuned for it) could show gains. not this though

 

[Tigs51]

A lot of the responses im receiving are based on assumption. Again we have a lack of review and physical results on this product, those of you who claim it will not, do not have the results to prove your opposition. Jet makes a claim of several minor benefits which may or may not be worth the money, i got this part for free as a gift so its no skin off my nose. Unfortunately i dont have the time to take this to a dyno after install so i will have no other physical proof of results after the fact. However im very good at eliminating the "placebo effect" from certain things(you could say it has little effect on me).

In any case someone has to take that jump! Below is JET's claim for this product.

"Delivers 6+ horsepower, increased mileage and improved throttle response. Simple bolt-on replacement for stock unit and uses the factory intake housing with no other vehicle modifications required. Compatible with other performance upgrades such as cold air intakes, exhaust, and computer upgrades."

Minor yes, but if proven true every little bit never hurts.

Do you have other mods Tigs?
Like Dan from Diablo said this MAF sensor should be way down on your future to buy list. Some people on here are engineers that honestly believes Ford engineers are the absolute smartest most through engineers in the entire world, even when building a $22K car. They believe that all mustang performance mods are huge hoaxes desgined to steal your money, they see giant conspiracies everywhere. However in this case Deadstick is pretty much spot on. Unless you've moded past the stock MAF's capability then there is no reason to replace it.

 

[trustyrusty436]

Their claiming 41% improvement from an aftermarket MAF, that's not possible without some major changes to the intake system. I'd say if any part of it is a lie it's all a lie.:nono: Save your money for a tuner or CAI that will actually do something!

 

[Dan_DiabloSport]

Tig, the problem with the power gain statement they are making is that it is for a mostly stock vehicle. As many have said here the issue you will run in to is repeat ability during calibration. What will happen is later, down the road when you add more and more to your car, this MAF will end up causing you more headaches then it's worth.

By all means, try it out, I don't doubt that it will give you a slight HP bump by basically telling your vehicle's computer you're running lean.

We just tell people over and over again when they buy a tuner and they say they have an aftermarket MAF, that the MAF is going to cause problems on a mildly modified car that does not have a custom tune.

As long as you know that going in you should be all set and I look forward to seeing your results.

You have quite a few mods installed after the MAF sensor. Have you encountered any issues with it? Have you tried swapping back and fourth to see if there is a noticable difference?

I completely agree that ford makes top quality parts. I do already have an AIRAID intake, so my plan is to pair it up with the performance MAF with the increased airflow. I purchased it from Summit racing and im sure if it doesnt perform as expected, they may help me out a bit. Again, it was free. So if this MAF compliments my AIRAID then ill be happy.

I have an automatic and we all know of the immense throttle lag. JET claims of improved throttle response, so if this does eliminate some of that lag then i say its a must have mod for us V6 autos(of course a tune removes the lag completely from what i hear). But for over $300 ill save the tune for another day.

The part should be coming in tomorrow and ill install it tomorrow. I will attempt to get at least a before and after 0-60 timing.

If i had the money for the intune, i would have it.... but oh well :/

It wont, unless your airaid has a turbo or supercharger pumping air into it..

Then save up for a tuner. Problem solved.

BTW the MAF is the first and probably the most important sensor in your car and you better believe that replacing it will void your entire engine warranty.

Other than that I just agree with Diablo, it's not needed unless you're FI. My friends used to use Cobra MAFs on their turbo Nissans because the OEM ones would blow under boost.

...and how the hell is it supposed to 'flow' 41 percent better? I'd like to see a side by side pic...

How can a sensor "flow?" It's a sensor. It senses. Not flowses.
