does the rb25 afm keep reading past the point where rich/retard mode would normally kick in on a stock ecu? or is that where the afm is at max voltage?

i know that you can change afms, but i am just curious as to whether the stock afm keeps reading past where the stock ecu normally cuts out.

i think its a ramp based scale where it decides to turn on rich and retard, i dont think its a flat 4.01v or higher trigger

what do you mean? i thought it would be a flat figure. when i did my turbo to cat exhaust it lowered the boost pressure i could run before it kicked in.

and what sort of max power have people gotten from the stock afm? this would give a slight indication as to what sort of airflow it will take before it maxes out. (and this is where i want a max power figure, not a lecture about average power).

5 volts is the max voltage though, correct?

5100mv is the absolute max. you can keep making more power but you run out of load points. as once you top 5100mv the load axis will never increase anymore. you could in theory make upwards of 260rwkw on the stock afm but youll find once you go past near 4800rpm its probably going to flatline across the load axis, djetro style.

the rule of thumb is no nore than 250rwkw, but its not like you can't make 260rwkw with it, or 270rwkw and so on, its simply that a rule of thumb for nice tuning.

i see mine max out frequently at 190rwkw on the stock afm, but at like 5500rpm

250rwkw will certainly work, youll just have less load points to play with

The ECU is looking for excess airflow compared to the engine rpm, so it moves to R&R mapping when that occurs. Could be at 4 volts or 4.3 volts, its rpm dependant.

:D cheers :P

What your describing is the TTP limit (airflow limit fuel cut) this is how alot of japanese ecu's work. They compare the g/s of ariflow vs rpm to a set maximum if it's above this then it cuts the injectors. There is only two fuel and two ignition maps for hi and low octane no others (apart form idle timing and a few others), so there is no such specific R&R map its just the overfuelled and retarded section of the ignition or fuel map.

that what it feels like. because i find it kicks straight back in and pulls just as hard. if i'm in a low gear when it did it then it would wheelspin when it kicked back in.

Hence why we use the term R(ich) and R(etarded) mapping.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
