Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction my e-RAM may be a dud

Brad, I was looking at the graphs and correct me if Im wrong but there was a loss of power in the loser to mid RPM's...why do you think there was this loss?

I was easing onto the gas. The Eram really didn't like being on the dyno because you have to low RPM lug the engine to get a full read out. With the Eram, in WOT at low RPM, the MAF voltage would go friggin nuts and cause bucking/lurching. During normal driving, this was unnoticed since when you go full throttle, normally you down shift to a lower gear. This can be corrected by running the MAF ahead of the Eram.

If you ran the MAF ahead of the e-ram wouldnt that make the data sent to the computer incorrect? Sorry Im asking all these questions but I am seriously considering buying one.

No, because what goes into the engine still has to pass by the MAF. Running it after the Eram would put most of the turbulent air after the MAF which would limit the low ROM stumbling I had when running it before the MAF.

Mine is downstream from the MAF.

And it is a dud. See new thread here.
