Hey Guys,

As most of you know there is a GB going for Z32 AFM`s pretty decent price i might add, and then i noticed someone asked the question wether you need a full stand alone ecu. The person running the GB then answered saying yes you will need a stand alon ecu.

I was under the imppression that you could use piggy back system.

So my question is will i need a Full Stand Alone ECU to run a Z32 AFM on my car?

Now im pretty sure that Tangles has a Z32 afm on his stag so if you could please help me out that would be great.

Cheers Simon

Z32 afm all wired up - running a SAFCII.

Yes, I do believe you'll need an "aftermarket ecu" such as a piggyback unit, however this *may not be the case and you may be able to use a z32afm with the standard ecu (probably hit R&R tho)..... Im sure more experienced pro's in the forced inductiuon section might be able to shed some further light on this, tho.

flysly, if you are using the standard turbo, i doubt you will run out of resolution on the standard AFM. also i noticed you have a sard FPR which also shouldn't be necessary until you upgrade the turbo and need to squeeze a little extra flow out of the standard injectors.

you can probably save a few $$'s there alone with no loss in performance.

Im using the high flow turbo, and im wanting around 220awkw,

I figure there is no point me passing up good products for good prices when im going to need them in the end anyway.

But thanks for the advice.

Im not running the sard fpr yet but i will be

I did - was maxxing the afm at the 140awkw tune, although that was when I only had a catback system so that might have ahd something to do with it. changed to a z32 afm when I had the full zaust put on, fmic, fuelpump, and the sitc tuned.

I recieved my Z32 during the week, i will be hitting the dyno just for fun next sat to see what she will pull with the: Hi-Flow Turbo, FMIC, 3" Turbo back exhaust and High Flow Apexi Panel Filter, standard boost.

After that i will start bolting everything else on i have, but im finding it very bloody hard to find an SITC.

Well thats a lie ^^^ i just went on ebay just then searched SITC found one striaght away so i bought it straight away.

Anybody know if i got it for a decent price?

I payed $322 Au dollars delivered

Sounds pretty good, there was a brand new one listed recently for $600.

Damn that is cheap, oh well still sounds like a got it at a reasonable price.

And considering that they are near impossible to get, ive been searching ebay ever since i got my stag and have only seen one other on there for sale.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
