The ME7's that have MAF don't have a MAP sensor, very simple.
Only a charge pressure sensor before the throttle plate, which is completely useless for air charge calculation except for WOT.
Suddenly... I thought that ME7.5 has both MAF and MAP sensor.

Map would indicate it's measuring manifold pressure, as in vacuum as well. Not the case here.

It does not. I suggest looking at the hardware you are trying to tune and realizing that the sensor is before throttle plate, so completely useless for calculating air charge unless throttle is fully open. MAP means manifold absolute pressure. ME7.5 with MAF has no pressure sensor in the manifold.

But if we know intake pressure and intake temperature we can calculate mass air consumption with the formula something like below:
MAC = FE * Vcyl * P * 293 / (273 + TA) * K
FE – percent of effecient
Vcyl – volume of cyl
P – intake manifold pressure
ТA – intake air temperature
K – conversion factor of dencity

Do you mean ME7.5 hasn't MAP in stock at all? How people using MAFless connect MAP to ME7.5?

Just ask britishturbo what happens when you try to use the charge pressure sensor to read manifold pressure Smiley

That is correct. There is no sensor measuring MANIFOLD pressure. Charge pressure, yes. Manifold pressure, no. It'll never read lower than barometric given the sensor location.

MAFless on ME7.5 has nothing to do with the MAP. Its because the primary o2 is wideband. MAFless is still not ideal though.

Like others have said, it's a true MAP ie. not measuring manifold pressure.

Thanks guys! It's absolutely clear now.

Which is load factor with MAFless, throttle?

Yes, RPM x Throttle (Alpha N).
The charge sensor is also considered, but only at high throttle opening. So with all normal driving you are only driving from alpha-n which is not very good on a turbo engine.
Even if you have wideband to correct the mixture, your ignition timing is still all over the place...

I see. But I thought that throttle is load factor for ignition timing as well.

Yes, but it is impossible to accurately determine load using RPM and Throttle on a turbocharged application.
The only way it even runs somehow in vacuum area is because of wideband O2 correcting mixture.
But because it does not know load correctly, the ignition timing is impossible to calculate precisely.

I agree with you. Just to clarify, in order to use MAFless need to use some customs binary flash file or can change load factor in stock file?

Does the stock sensor read vacuum? If so move it to behind the throttle body so it sees both positive and negative pressure

Just disconnect MAF, and you are in limp mode. MAFless = limp mode.
If you want to do speed-density, then you need custom code.

Does the stock sensor read vacuum? If so move it to behind the throttle body so it sees both positive and negative pressure
And then what? ME7 does not know what to do with that.
This moving assumes making a hole in the manifold somewhere also...
