Will be installing a z32 afm onto my r33 shortly and needing to know will the pod of the stock afm fit the z32 or will i have to purchase a new pod to suit the z32?

If have to purchase a new pod will buy the apexi power intake. does anyone know what the product code is for this?

Yes.. the Z32 is the same size as the std afm.

It simply has a different airflow vs voltage output calibration.

Thanks for that Cubes,

Thinnking about buying a new filter anyway.... got a blitz filter on the car atm but i hear that they might not do that good a job and that the apexi's are about as good as they come is this true?

I like the apexi, coz they look nice.

There's a few others that are also good, ??pipercross?? comes to mind for some reason, SK could clear this up as he has mentioned them in the past.

In some dirt hoover test the apexi came out on top for filtration.

Looking at nengun and there are to differnt apexi filter kits? whats the difference?

ones called APEXi - Power Intake kit and costs arount 110 deliverd and the other is called APEXi - Dual Funnel Air Cleaner (Replacement Filter) and cosrs around 80 dilivered is there something special about the Power Intake kit?

i've got a stooooopid question, but i still need to ask it.

what's the benefit of the z32 afm on an r33?

It simply has a different airflow vs voltage output calibration.

Hence will read more air at 5.1v. So you can tune to a higher power level before maxing out the airflow meter.

one (Power Intake kit) comes with the small metal adapter that says apexi on it...

the other (Replacement Filter) is simply the filter part that still bolts onto the AFM if you get the correct one...

ok thanks so there isnt any difference basicly apart from gettting a bit of metal.

a test site for the apexi vs others

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/1/index.html

only ever seen the intake kits used on GTR's and s13's and cant find pics

the filter only section is all thats needed

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
