[Supra2NR]

ok hurry up if im wrong sumbody stop me quick , cuz im thinkin about completely bypassing the afm , by literally opening up the trap door so air would pass thru without any restriction, or would this jus fuck me over?

Not to be Too rude, but its obvious you don't understand the principles of the Computerized Automotive System.

So......I will tell you like I tell others with that same lack of knowledge.....

"If you don't know what you're doing, Don't mess with it !! Cause you'll end up paying $$$$ heavily for it".

The parts are on the car for a reason. Every part serves a purpose.

In the case of the AFM (Air Flow METER) it measures the amount air coming into the engine. It does this using that little spring loaded door.

Google the net for some info on how this type of system works. There are millions of cars using it (Toyota, Nissan, Ford,etc).

i kno what its for , its jus pissin me off , cuz its sumthin that i cant take out, all that i can do is jus maybe take off some tension on the springs and thats it , but dunt worry no offense taken , i jus wish manufacturers would hav seen this and came up with sumthing,, u kno , kinda like the random technology catalytic converter,they are the first one to manufacture a 3 inch catalytic converter. its not a big revolution in racing, but its an advancement

You can remove the AFM if you use a 'stand alone' air/ fuel management system.

That's an interesting question. I don't know if it will work upside down. Thinking about it, and having had a couple completely apart, I'd say it will work.
