Question wft mafs and reprogrammed ecu

I have found alot of items that say z32 mafs and i have heard that in-order to use the z32 mafs you would have to have the ecu programed. is this true? most ecus that i have found are around 600. would i run into problem if i just put on the mafs and a intake kit that is designed for the the z32?

The design of the intake will fit exclusivly to a Z32 if you have a Z32 intake. if Im correct the intake wraps around a diffrent direction and wont fit at all

Umm you'd have a check engine light and probably run..lean.. or rich.. I don't know.. most people just get a piggy back system.. you don't need a z32 maf until you maxed out your ka24de one.. which is probably around 250hp..not sure.

You can use your APEXI SAFC on your stock maf and see gains.....
Yes the APEXI will change the signal to the ecu when using other model MAFS...
Uses what is called throttle correction

No I am saying invest into an APEXI SAFC before you decide to upgrade your maf.
