seems like everyone is playing with vaf's lol

i was at a junk yard and ran across a ford probe with a 2.2l.
the vaf looked alot like our protege's but bigger (3 in dia). so i bought it to see if it would work. needles to say im having the same problem as jedwards242000

any-one ever try the prob-vaf before.

 

I haven't tried a Probe vaf but I have tried and am still using an early 80's Toyota Supra vaf. Even though it uses a V-6 engine, it still works with our cars but requires tuning like the RX-7 one does.

nothing is wrong with me stock vaf. i just wanted to go bigger.

with the probe vaf on it stalls/chokes when i give it gas. so i put the stock vaf back on and it runs fine (yes i tried to tune it). so im guessing the probe vaf is bad.

so are you saying the rx7 vaf is bigger than 3 inces in diameter.

 

nope, the RX7 VAF is also 3"


Redline is 7000rpm on the DOHC

 

i know what the gains are smart ***.

so are you saying the probe vaf wont work at all. i dont see why, if the rx7 vaf will.

scrap it and move on.....lol

thanks for the info chastan

protoss....what kind of intake setup did you use when trying the probe vaf. did you go with 3 in all the way or keep the 2 3/4 in. did you keep the h-box.

 

i plan on going turbo someday so i guess ill hang on to it.

thanks for the info guys. sorry for calling you a smart ***, maybe i just read your post wrong.

 

lemme know how the turbo turns out. i hear its a tuffy doing it on a sohc. oh, and dood, we have the same car. except mines the u.s version of yours. (yay, 2nd post)

 

Not doubting you guys here, but do you know anyone whom has had succes using an rx-7 vaf with a turboed 1.8lbp? One of the guys over on ERDT is trying to get his to work right on his. he has a GTR turbo with the GTX exhaust mani and it runs great on the stock vaf, but the rx-7 one makes it runs like crap, even if we tune it. and yes we have tried it on n/a bps and it worked fine.

thnx
