What do you think?? Who installed it?? And what did it cost??

Looking at getting PAC Performance to install a LTX-12.

Does anyone have any info on the EMS for the GTR as well??

I am running HKS 2530's manifols and dump pipes, Cam gears and a bigger front mount, full exhaust.

any help would be great

I want to get rid of the AF metres...

Pac Performance seen to know their stuff whaen it comes to the Microtech. What do you think??

I also have a Power FC and Hand controller st home that i might use..

Who in Sydney is pretty switched on, when it comes to the power FC??

What do people think of SAS (Silverwater Automotive Services)

try coydons or silver water you only need to upgrade you afms to z32 ones the powerfc is a much better than micro tech for fuel economy and driveability. and the powerfc is plug in no install required. the microtech is good on rotors and wild track cars

cheers

I spoke to vince rigoli about putting EMS on a GTR and he said that he would have to put a throttle body on the front of the plenum to get throttle position reference. He said EMS as good as it is (i run it on my SR by the way) is not great on a GTR and recommended the power FC

Hi 600hp, let's see if I can extract an answer.................

We have a 650 bhp GTR that runs AFM's, and I am just about to finish a 900 bhp RB30/26 hybrid that will run AFM's.

There is simply no more accurate way to measure the airflow into an engine than AFM's. MAP's are not as accurate, therefore tuning compromises, poorer idle quality, difficulty with multiple throttle bodies (like a GTR has), don't handle the load changes as efficiently for air con, power steer or electrical load etc.

OK, so I have covered power, idle quality, changing load ... oh I know .... fuel economy...

AFM's will give higher accuracy, so the fuel economy will be better than with a MAP sensor driven ECU.

Gotta ask the question again, why get rid of the AFMs anyway?

It seems to be a knee-jerk responce when looking for more power along with whacking on a bigger turbo.

It seems to me the advantages of the AFM for any street driven car far outweigh any perceived disadvantages

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
