MAF Sensor Position. Does it matter?

tite681 · 05-07-2008, 12:15 AM

I have a home made intake using a modified MAF. If you're looking from the front of the car, the MAF sensor is probably 30 degrees rotated to the right. Does it really matter how the MAF sensor is positioned? Or does it have to be positioned straight like stock? If it does indeed matter, what are the consequences? Thanks in advance.

No one has done this on the Civic that I'm aware of, but I can tell you from the mustang world, change the position of the MAF would cause the car to lean our a little and cause rough idle and stall outs. It matters....
