The pin configuration is different but as long as you are handy with a soldering iron, you should be able to work it out yourself

P.S. It won't work on the stock ECU, only aftermarket.

well, off the top of my head i cannot list one honda vtec car that actually runs boost. running a map sensor from my understanding in an n/a car is no problem, but because a turbo car will reach maximum boost, usually at the latest by 5000rpm, that leaves another 2000rpm in this case, in which the map sensor will be utterly useless, and thus make tuning alot more "rough" so to speak.

Just because an engine produces 369rwkw with an AFM doesnt mean the AFM isnt causing a restriction and that there is nothing wrong with the AFM as you say. Your logic is to look at the end result without a proper control (ie no AFM) which is nothing but inviable.

Honda and certain toyotas run MAP. Have you driven a vtec-powered car?

Youre always the first to say if its not needed than dont buy it. Well what about this case? The afm isnt needed and unless youre a track racer where a split second counts the AFM isnt needed at all. He can save himself money on not buying an AFM.

what kind of aftermarket ECU should I be looking at???

Totally agree with everything below though I think the wolf is about the 1100 mark (that said it doesnt compare to the pfc and i would never recommend it even though i have one).

My bad regarding cost and AFM + CPU.

My tuner has expirience with both MAF and MAP applications for the RB's.

If he tells me in his expertise that the AFM is not a restriction, then i'll believe him based on his testing and applications.

I trusted his judgement and made more power than anyone else said was possible at the time.

When a PowerFC is $900, and the AFM $250-$300 thats $1200.

Would i be right in saying a MAP based ECU is a little more expensive in most cases?

The closest that comes to mind is $1400 at the very least. I think more decent are wire-in at a $2000+ cost

So cost for cost, the AFM + PowerFC Combo will works out cheaper.

As stated he is in Vic, and *most* tuners will prefer to use a PowerFC down here as opposed to anything else.

aphid is spot on

pressure != volume

on an n/a car anything on the intake is a restriction so they need as little crap in the way as possible. on a turbocharged car this is not true as restrictions lie after the compressor outlet.

CHANGE OF SUBJECT!!!!!!!!

gonna put a new full exaust on my r33 97". What is the meximum db can it be before I cop fine from the coppers???

90 decibels in QLD, should be about the same in NSW and VIC

Hello everyone.....

I was flicking through a "high performance imports magazine" and I saw an ad for a high performance engine rebuild kit for a RB25-DET. It consists of:

  • Venolia forged pistons
  • Grant chrome rings
  • R.E.V. I-Beam forged conrods
  • Tomei metal head gasket
  • Genuine Nissan full engine gasket kit

All of this is for $3999

Is all of this stuff at a good price or not???????

cheers :P

So what are the new goals then?

New budget?

This time I now want 2 achieve around 250rwkw - 300rwkw. Money isn't a really big issue but I would like 2 know the most cost efficient way?????

Question:

Will I have 2 change my standard turbo in order 2 do this??? If so then what would you recomend?????

I was thinking of buying a HKS GT2530 what do you think????

Cheers :)

im merging the threads, they are still the same then

i'm sorry massive type error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

before I wanted 2 acheieve around 200rwkw now i would like to achieve 250 - 300rwkw

sozzzzz

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
