I was having lots of lean and rich spikes that no amount of MAF curve tuning could fix, so I figured I'd try making an air laminator.
To work accurately MAF's need a laminar air flow, which means the air flow resembles a deck of cards, perfectly straight with no swirls. If you've ever looked at the stock MAF, it has a metal screen in it that works to straighten out the air before reading it. A lot of aftermarket MAF's though won't have this screen, including the one I had. So to remedy the turbulent air problem, I made an air laminator!
It's basically a piece of pipe with a bunch of straws put in it, then there's screens on each side to hold them in place.
From watching the wideband I can see that most of the rich and lean spikes have disappeared and the AFR is pretty close to what it should be!
