swapping MAFs from 787 to 055 - Wiring

[White Knight]

Hey guys, I did a search and I know its been done before...
What is required, wiring wise, in the change of these 2 MAFs?
Many thanks in advance.

Could be Jack, i deadset just got home from the wreckers and a huge storm came through so I have to look after the squealer daughter (hates thunder...) So unfortunately have not bee able to have a good look. I was concerned I might look like a cock by posting this....

OK, had a look, finally. Both are 7 pin but much different sizes. Would the pinouts be the same? Ie, would I be able to transpose the 787 wires into the 055 harness in the same positions?
Cheers.

Anyway you can go back to donor vehicle and check if wire colours are the same?

If you have the RVR ECU pinout, you can ping the 787 wires in the car and use VFAQ to assign the 055 wires.

Jamo, I was smart enough to cut original 055 harness back a bit there is only one that doesn't match and its green/white.....
I think it should be OK. I hope....
Mo, thanks for the link I'll check it out bro.
Cheers guys.

Ive swapped my GSR MAF for a 787 and now a 399. None of the pinouts ive checked have had different layouts. They changed the wiring colours and plug size, but its the same sensors and the same wires to each pin
I just removed a small section of insulation on each wire behind the stock plug and spliced in the smaller plug and pigtail. Incase I ever need to go back to the old MAF (hopefully not..)

Easy as mate, no problem at all. I didn't have it on the dyno before the swap but yeh it certainly breathes better.
