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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
