Changing silvertop to MAP

Postby trueno93 » Thu Apr 28, 2005 12:29 am

Ok just wondering about changing over the AFM to MAP sensor. Can somebody tell me whats involved and what advantages/disadvantages there are with doing this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

For the effort of getting your computer to work with MAP instead of airflow you could be better off putting a Blacktop 20v in.
It has MAP, lighter internals and better breathing. It revs out a bit faster and is more likely to be close to it's factory quoted power than some earlier toyota engines.
Blacktop with loom and computer might cost you $1000 to $1500 if you do it yourself. If you had to buy an aftermarket computer to run MAP with your silvertop it might cost you nearly the same amount.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
