Re: maf
On a 280Z or ZX non turbo, right?
Well, one idea is to take an AFM from a 280ZX turbo and carefully gut it of all the electronics. The turbo AFM has a larger throughput than the n/a models. Then you'll need a properly functioning non-turbo 280zx AFM and desolder the connections and carefully remove those electronics too. Place the n/a components inside the housing of the turbo AFM. Adjust the plate pressure and maybe the idle mixture screws a bit so that the car runs right.
You'll have to play with it a while and try to get it to run just slightly more rich than what was factory. That will give you the best horsepower.
The Z31 might work too. I haven't heard of using that one. I'm not sure what electronics you'll have to put inside it though.

Re: maf
Build your own fuel injection computer that uses a air pressure/vaccume sensor instead of an air flow meter.

Re: maf
You see thats what I would like to do rather than mess with the turbo maf but if thats my only option I'll do that however im wondering if their any other computers that are more moderen with the sensors and etc. that would work with the engine. I still wondering if the skline cpu would with the head would it bolt up? has any one ever tried. And if not why?

Re: maf
Oh yes, of course there are other computers. They will not say that they are specifically for a 280zx. The ones I have heard about are for normally aspired and turbo applications. They work with 4, 6, and 8 cylinder egines! They run about $4000 to $5500 for the system. A friend of mine got one for his VW GTI. He hopes to use it to add "50hp" to his 1.8L engine and then later on when he puts in a 1.8 turbo engine he'll use the same aftermarket computer.
compare thousands of dollars to a couple hundred.
