550cc

Great info west side. Thanks a lot.

What is the need for the new AFM? Looks to me like it's just a little larger bore, but we still use the same actual original sensor.

Would you expect I would see a benifit with just 550cc injectors?

I have the fuel cut defencer on but I think it still cuts at about 12 psi. May not be set up correct.

i got a question
i checked the replacement afm

they said its a copy of the lexus afm
which wont come with any of the electronics of the lex afm itself

its says you have to reuse the honeycomb and the black box?

doesnt the lexus afm has diffrent electronics than the ones that came from the 7mgte?
or is it jus the size of the afm that changes?

weird!?!?!

mmm like i said the houseing of the AFM is bigger on the lexus version compared to the 7m version.

replacing the honey comb? uh i dont know if you can even do that, hell if my honey comb broke i would just go and get another AFM

and the black box is the sensor itself, and yes totally different, just has the same connection as the 7m, so its just a plug and play

The Lexus AFM does NOT come with the black box sensor. It says to use the original 7M-GTE box/sensor. So it appears all we would be buying is the metal AFM housing and transfering the original honeycomb and sensor to it. Maybe the original sensor detects more air thanks to the larger AFM housing, compensates for that in combination with fuel cut defencer allowing more fuel, and the now larger injectors gives more fuel. Result for me I hope is...larger turbo + boost controller + fuel cut defencer + larger injectors + larger AFM housing + HKS intake = more HP.

Does this all make sense?

well the one i got from ebay has the housing, honeycomb, and sensor itself. again i really dont know if the 7m sensor would be picking up more than the lexus thats something that we would have to search for, like specs on the sensors.

ya when i ordered my lexus afm it also came with the sensor not just the metal housing

I guess I'll check around other sources. It would seem getting a new sensor too would make more sense.

yea cyanide knows what i'm talkin about, he's seen my car. just take a look around, ebay is your best bet though.

well as for the benifit, if i am guessing right, for fact yes the bore is bigger. it is acually a real 3 or 3.5 inch bore, meaning more air flow, the sensor itself. well it is coming out of a V8. a V8 is going to use more fuel and that means that just cause the sensor looks the same doesnt mean anything. it was set for the v8 to allow more fuel allowing us to go with the bigger injectors
