ok mine died, and it cost $569 to get one from a dealer, andi know you can take one off an 87 88 rx-7 non turbo but the only ones i can find are turbo, i need to know it anyone has one stock even, or if anyone knows someone who does, or can tell me if there is anyother car with one that would work out there PLEASE car dont work without one thanks

92 V6 or the 4cycl?

good luck

its the 1.6L sohc

thanks that kicks ***

are you guys really sure that the rx-7 turbo meter doesn't fit? I work an auto parts store, and even though they have different part numbers, it IS the same flap style meter. Maybe our sistem is wrong (happens a lot), or maybe the plugs are different? I would check them out side by side, but they're both special order. Thanks

they could be calibrated different

I just emailed some guy selling one on ebay to see if he could send me the specs on it. I personally thing I COULD work if you change the spring rate on the inside of the meter. Chances are you will have to do that either way with the non turbo version anyways ( i kno i hade to make the spring softer so it wouldn't run lean at idle).

I was under the impression that the rx-7 used a MAF, not a VAF??

The second generation RX-7 (Turbo and Non-Turbo) uses a VAF similar to the one on the 92 and 93 Mx-3 and Miatas.

If you want, look for yourself
2nd Gen Rx-7 (Turbo) Air flow meter

that is a MAF, whats used on the later 4 cyls and the V6s is a VAF

differences between MAF and VAF

I think if everyone would look through this link, there would be a LOT less confussion about this topic.

Ok, (I knew the difference between m/vaf, I just wasnt sure which the RX-7 had...).

Now this I'm sure is partially wrong. The all the GS do use a VAF, agreed. However, the B6-ZE (DOHC 94+) used a MAF. It was the B6-DE (92-93 SOHC) that used the vaf.

MY next question is this... If the Rx-7 used a VAF, wouldnt it have to be much larger to yeild benefits to the B6-ZE MAF? Just by using a trap door instead of a heated wire, the air should become greatly resticted. Just a guess, and it could be wrong (so please tell me if I am).

I believe the
92-93 sohc 4cyl used trapdoor style MAF's
94+ dohc 4cyl used hotwire style MAF's
92+ V6 used VAF's

The 2nd gen Rx-7 MAF's look exactly like the sohc 4cyl mx's MAF (both trapdoor style) it is just bigger. I have an rx maf I just havent gotten around to installing it yet.

the 92-93 used an MAF.

For the love of God... not this debate again...
