The MAF only measures flow across it's hot filament which is only a specific point in that cross section. There's no way for it to get an accurate average of the entire cross sectional area.


Here's an example of how flow changes through just 30degrees of bend.




if you did that they would be reading 2x as much flow each.
How does Nissan handle the flow from 2 different MAF sensors to begin with? Are there 2 different airflow curves for each MAF?

I am used to tuning Ford and GM cars with a single MAF, but when you change the MAF size or location on either of those applications you just build a new airflow curve for the calibration.

Couldnt you do that with 2 maf's in 1 pipe or is it just one table even though theres 2 MAF's?
