Procharger HELP!!

parbreak · 01-13-2018, 09:04 PM

I am posting this in 2 sections, Forced Induction and Tuning because it relates to both and I could use an answer quickly, thanks!!

Installed ProCharger and Kooks LT today and install went incredibly smooth. I'll be doing a write on soon. Question, though, the Procharger locates the MAF sensor in the pipe coming back from the intercooler into the throttle body which means a lot of forced air is coming over the MAF. I would thought it would have been in the filter pipe like is normal. We are getting an MAF code
and the tuner is having a hard time tuning. It looks like the MAF is in correct as it will only line up one way and fits the bolt holes properly.

Has anyone run into this issue? Is the tuner missing something I can relay to him?

Thanks

The forced air has to go through the MAF. Otherwise if it were on the other side of the supercharger by he filter it wouldn’t be able to account for the extra air when in boost. The location is normal and that’s where mine is as well. Never got a code with either the handheld tuner it cane with nor the custom tuning done afterward.

I’m sure someone else can chime in with their input. My only suggestion would be to make sure the extension harness for the MAF is connected all the way and none of the pins are bent inside the connector.

Good luck.

I’d check the MAF extension cable. I had an issue with mine and when I pulled it apart the pins were pushed in.

Provided the cable is good my next question would be if the tuner has tuned a boosted vehicle before and knows how to rescale the MAF tables.

What codes are you getting in regards to the MAF.

I had same issue with my ecs vortech kit. I think they get extensions from caspers.

They are the only company that makes that end piece currently.

Anyone have a link to a better MAD extension harness? Procharger one sent doesn’t work and having the same issues as this gentleman here. Thanks

Maybe this will help.
