all thew jap tunes I have downloaded from various ECU's as roy says dismiss the AFM and just tune with a wideband at full throttle.= really bad idea on the first cold day and hitting boost as the air is denser and you will run lean and bang...

yep you can change the scale in a PFC but you need to know what to change it to :) increasing the dia of an AFM can give you a percentage but I bet it will be wrong at certain points.

The old put an RB20 sensor in line after the cooler in a 3"dia pipe will give you enough res to make the car idle if you change the base 6 or 7 figures in the VQ to read less than 1.0 volts but at cruise it will run like shit. not a good idea for a street car.

but usually it is cheaper to buy a $300 unit than pay a tuner another couple of hours.

Absolutly true, and I would buy tyhe z32, however, it's good to discuss this.

I think if someone did a mod to a maf, one that could be accuratly redone by someone else, and then the VQ values worked out, tested, and then posted on here, it might make a cheaper alternaltive.

However, I am a believer in the do it once, do it right philosophy and a Z32 would be for me.

But again, I like the discussion.

I know I am at 5.1v at about 5000rpm on my GTR - tune becomes 2 dimensionsal after that....

Seems to work ok as my AFR still hovers around 12 all the way to rev limit and driveability is very good... I am just looking for an "outside the box" approach to giving the air flow meters more capacity...

I am told that after the MAF maxes out, the ECU tunes by MAP, RPM and throttle position. Heresay though.

Thanks

I know this is an old topic - but would still love to see a "how to hot up your AFM" FAQ... I'll donate some AFM's and dyno time if someone thinks they can do it....

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
