What MAF's have been used successfully with the V6

I need a larger MAF for my 3.4L 5VZ. I know supra MAF sensors have been used but has anyone used the much cheaper mustang Hot wire sensor? It has similar voltage-flow charicteristics to the toyota unit but its much larger.

What else have you guys used?

Why would you need one larger than the supra?

The Supra one is the best way to go unless you have a 99 or later 5VZ-FE. In that case you can just enlarge the tube the MAF sensor eliment sits in.

Either way, you will have to use some type of calibration box to adjust the signal back to where it needs to be.

You can not use a Ford type without a converter of sometype to convert the signal over to a Toyota standard. The Ford ones are different and you need a converter box to make it work. Split Second has MAF conversion kits that will work to convert large Ford type MAFs to Toyota.

What MAF did you use on this engine?

None. That is the URD Twin Turbo 4Runner. It has a complete stand alone engine managment system by SDS and is a speed density system. It uses only a MAP sensor and no MAF sensor at all.
