BA2600 or BA2800???

[RacerX]

Hmmmm... Granatelli BA2800 or SCT BA2600? (Both Granatellis really as they make SCT's). I have both. Is there much resolution difference? Draw through. End result will be about 520 to 550RWHP.

Stay with the stock maf. its better than both of those! Plus I will always beat you with the stock one!!! LOL

[RacerX]

Stock MAF was sold last year to some sucka with a CV... ;) It's had a nice 90mm since... as u saw... bigger than urs...:P

[DOOM]

The one on the right!!!

Its shiney!!! :coolman:


I'll be getting a SCT BA 3000 very soon myself! :D

[RacerX]

That's why I'm asking. You must lose some resolution with a BA3000 since it will read enough airflow to get 825rwhp (900+ crank HP).

I wish I got the Granatellis because it looks stock and in Cali it makes a difference because I get the scrutiny from the smog folks due to my SCT BA3000:mad2:She does look pretty though.

Unless you are making big HP stick with the 2600.

So what happens if you go with a bigger maf and arent making huge numbers to the wheels? :confused:

I say run the 2800.
Jake you can run a BA 3000 even with 350rwhp as long as is adjusted on the tune.

I picked the sct ba5000 for it's benefits in blow thru applications and there is always the capacity for a 50 or 75 dry shot past the maf. A normal supercharged MM seems to make @ 420-500 RWHP both are rated for that power range, If properly tuned the difference in resolution between the BA 2600 and the BA 2800 would be unnoticeable

The housing size on all three is almost exactly the same inner diameter. The difference is in the sensor and how much more air it can measure before hitting th 5 volt "peg". They all idle at about the same (wether a 300hp or 1000hp car) so the difference is in the distance between MAF counts. You have a limited number of entries. I have an idea of the right answer here, but, want to make sure.

Just saw the new posts, thanks!

Ahhh. So no matter what, the slopes, manifold volume, xfer function, displacement get changed anyway.

Thats exactly waht I thought!

Thanks! :beer:

Got these for a Benjamin each btw... ;)

Interesting. I just verified this in sct prp:

BA2400/BA2600 - identical SCT tune - same MAF xfer function table - same 47% scalings
BA2800/BA3000 - identical SCT tune - same MAF xfer function table - same 40% scalings

Yes you can change in the tune but follow what your tuner recommends BA3000 is overkill and no gains over a BA2600.

Dot to dot measurements are further apart and a bit more trickier to tune with according to Shaun over at AED. What this actually means i dunno lol

That's what I was wondering. There's only 30 points to enter data from 0 to 1024. If you have thirty points between 0 CFM to 80 CFM and then go to 0 CFM to 150 CFM, there's more inaccuracy by the pcm in between each xfer function entry. Makes sense now.
