Vararam Cold Air Intake Systems, Ram Air Systems, Intake Elbows, Air Filters, Throttle Bodies and More

 

Vararam Industries was created to bring true racing technology to the street, the most efficient air induction systems on earth. Vararam’s air induction systems produce more Power and Torque, offering you more real world performance than any of the other cold air intake system out there. Vararam has been tested to be the best compared to the rest, and each time VR comes out on top. Vararam Ram Air intake systems are guaranteed to be the best or they will buy them back. VR is the true air induction specialists.  They don't sell hot air, just real world performance. Vararam uses the latest in aerodynamic technology and real world testing to produce VR intake components. Vararam currently offers a wide variety of products, including the VR Cold Air Intake System, VR-SC1 Snake Charmer Ram Air System, VR Ram Air System, VR-SC1R Snake Charmer Ram Air System, Tri-Power Ram Air System, VRX Throttle Body, Power Duct, VR-B2 Ram Air System, VR-SD Ram Air System, VR-SDR Ram Air System, Street Ram, Power Wedge, Air Grabber, VR-4 Velocity Stack, VR-6 Ram Air Intake System, VR-3 Velocity Stack, Filter Cleaner, and Green Filter Cleaning Kit.

Most VR systems take up to a year to develop. Vararam uses a very tedious testing process of evaluating a particular applications true restrictions and reducing them to zero, and then try to force feed the engine or tune the system to a particular application. This maximizes the overall performance of that vehicle, for instance, Trucks. Vararam made Torque and Power UNDER the curve the priority, not peak power, this maximizes the performance of this particular type of vehicle. Another example would be the GM LS line of engines, where Vararam identified the point of restriction and created the VRX line of throttle bodies.  These are all over 100% efficient and use a self-contained venturi system to boost flow at every RPM range, maximizing the overall power curve. VR team members are specialists and all Vararam products take time, so if you want to set records and win races, Vararam is always worth the wait. Accesspeed is proud to offer Vararam products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

 


Air Intake and Induction » Mass Air Flow Sensors

What is a Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is part of your vehicle's electronic fuel injection system. The MAF sensor calculates the total amount of air entering the engine through the intake tract, and tells the computer how much fuel to inject for air coming through the intake. 

 

 

How does a mass air flow sensor work?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor has two sensing wires in the housing that protrudes into the intake tube prior to the throttle body.  One wire is heated by electrical current, the other is not heated at all.  As air flows across the heated wire, it cools the wire down. When the temperature difference between the two sensing wires changes, the MAF sensor automatically increases or decreases the current to the heated wire to compensate, telling the computer how much fuel to send through the fuel injectors.

 

How much horsepower and mpg increase can I expect from an aftermarket mass air flow sensor?

Aftermarket performance mass air flow (MAF) sensors replace your OEM sensor and improve on mileage and can increase horsepower by up to 20-HP, depending on the vehicle and engine. Performance MAF sensors increase airflow and low-end torque, without robbing top-end power, and works with factory electronics.

 

What are the symptoms of a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor?

  • The engine hesitates or drags while under load or idling.
  • During acceleration, you experience hesitation and jerking.
  • The engine coughs, sputters, or hiccups.
  • Excessively rich idling or lean idling.
  • The engine is difficult to start or crank over.
  • The engine stalls or dies shortly after starting.

 

Can you drive with a bad mass air flow sensor?

Yes and no. Yes, you can drive your vehicle with a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor, but only to get it home or to a repair shop to fix or replace it. Ignoring this problem can lead to far more severe engine problems and damage.

 

Why would a car run better with the mass air flow sensor unplugged?

If your vehicle runs better with your MAF sensor unplugged, you likely have a shorted-out sensor. When the computer does not read a signal from your mass air flow sensor, it provides the computer with a stock signal that will allow you to drive your vehicle for a short period of time to get it fixed or replaced.
