If you place the sensor in a larger housing you can use the formula to calculate a multiplication factor to apply to the transfer function:
Where:
IDnew = the inside diameter of the new housing;
IDold = the inside diameter of the old housing;
For example an existing 80mm housing is replaced with a 90mm housing:
90˛ = 8100mm˛
80˛ = 6400mm˛
8100/6400 = 1.26, so multiply the air flow numbers in the transfer function by 1.26. This is not 100% precise, however it will set the curve sufficiently close that the engine will run well enough for further tweaking.
