on an rb20det, only the rb20 AFM will work

if you want to change the AFM, then you need a different ECU that can handle the change in sensors

so if you have the stock ECU then the only AFM you can use is the rb20 item that was designed for the car. make no mistake, believe nothing else.

as mentioned, search "solder AFM" and you will find the answer to your problems of how to fix a broken AFM

We are not sure what your "obvious" AFM problems are, but I cleaned mine for 8 years by spraying with metho and lighting it with a gas lighter for a few seconds. -Maybe a bit extreme but it kept it going till I replaced it with a Z32 and ECU dyno tune ( Dr. Drift )

rb25det afms (green sticker) are identical to rb20det. They will be slightly newer than rb20det, but they are exactly the same (same part number and everything).

Upgrades for rb20det, 2 choices Z32 or Q45, both will require a remap. If you don't want to remap, stick with the green sticker rb20/rb25 afm

thanks everyone for pointing out the obvious thing that i didn't write the rb20/25 afms are the same.. which i obviously wrote in the second post

i got the impression this guy thoughthe could "upgrade" by simply putting in a z32 afm and drive away

i was trying to point out that this is not the case and he should be sourcing the same afm for his car that it already has

cheers,

Warren

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
