My maf sensor on my sc300 went bad and was wondering if i got the v8 maf (including sensor) if it will bolt up. I know people put the v8 maf housing in their cars to flow more air but i couldnt find if the same sensor could be used. sorry if its a stupid question but if i have to use the sc300 maf sensor w/ the v8 maf body to make it work it'll cost me more money since i'd have to buy the sensor separate. thanks in advance!

 

Use the proper forum, pls.

sorry, please are the sensors the same in the v8 as the I6? my car is not running right now and this is the only thing left i need, so i just need to know if the maf sensor is the same on both. thanks

 

Are you asking if the plug is the same or if the sensor itself is the same? The V8 one will plug in just fine as far as I know, but I would doubt that it's the same sensor if it can read a lot more airflow.

 

Call Autozone and see if the part numbers are the same

part numbers on the sensor are the same... it's the housing that are different.

 

If you're still using the stock intake box and piping you will need to modify the piping a bit . The V8 housing is just enough larger, that it wont fit as a direct replacement.
BTW I apologize if you already know this. But in case you didnt, Ordinarily the use of the V8 MAF in an SC300 is done in conjunction with a fuel inj and controller upgrade. And primarily as part of an Na-T project .

 

k thanks guys...

yes i have a turbo kit installed and all ready, when i started the car after i finished it all the maf was bad, so that is why i'm getting a new one, just wanted to make sure it would work.

 

In that case, the LS MAF should plug right in.
Good luck

 

ugh i'm sorry but i've been searching forever, does anyone know what year range the v8 mafs are from the ls400 and sc400? i have a 95 sc300
