Mass Air Conversion

Hey Guys,
Great site, first time poster but used your help on a FILTHY iac once. It did the job. As to the title, I have a 90 with a 302, runs well but needs some gruntand some help with mpg. I'll be popping off the intake soon due to a coolant leak at #1 and was wondering about the conversion. I hear a few don't bothers to some absolutly musts. What gives.

only reason for MAF is if your modifing the motor heavily.

if your running an e4od maf is more difficult and more expensive and wouldnt be cost effective.

I agree. The only reason to upgrade to a MAF setup is for a heavily modified engine. It will give you an increase in throttle response though. Also it will make it easier to modify the engine, because you don't have ot worry about what the cam is going to do to the computer, etc. I remember there was a web site that did one of these conversions and they saw improved throttle response and a few MPG on the highway. That was it.

I am looking at doing that here in the near future. I am probably going to supercharge, and with that Mass-air is a must. I have also heard from others that have upgraded and there is a very noiticeable increase in throttle response and MPG as Bimmer said.

I did it. All I can say the response was nice . The MPG was the do it for me . If you drive 10000 mile years and get only 1 Mpg increase ( I averaged 2+ MPG increase and doesn't fluctuate when hauling as much ) Do the math . One problem is your truck I just swapped a factory set up in . You will have to do some creative wiring , etc . Or buy piggy back harness .What ever you decide. Go for it. At $2 a gallon anything will help

Check out this web site, massfloefi.com . He is not cheap by any means but it is plug and play. Also, you can get plenty of ideas about doing it yourself. Also take a look at fordmuscle.com and fordfuelinjection.com. There are lots and lots of folks out there that are doing it themselves.

Thanks the replies guys. It looks like basically heads or tails. I'm not into building the worlds fastest or torquiest Bronco just as I said a little more grunt. I'm a Civil War reenactor and the Bronco is basically the wagon that transports most of my and others junk to events. Some of these events are 300-400 miles round trip. So a couple of mpg's dont hurt. About the truck its a stock 90 w/302 stock exhaust with all those cats running into the single stock muffler and 30*9.5 tires
