This is soo easy to fix...

Do an AFM bypass then get your PFC tuned to suit.

You will get double the range out of your AFM for free exept for the cost of a quick retune.

Basicly get a Y connector like you said but just dont have an AFM on one of them... so only 50% of air or so is messured and dyno will fix up the timing and Air Fuel mixtures to handle it.

I had recently borrowed my mates power fc kit.. for an rb25..

Power FC and a few other bits and pieces including a very large AFM.

I beleive it was off a subaru of some description..

The only difference was the wires.. so after measuring the wires around, I found that I had to change signal and common wires around... worked a charm, but was only running stock boost, and was tuned for 550cc injectors.. so naturally my car was slower than with the stock afm..

I'd say try and find a larger afm with 3 wires.. Its not that difficult to change the wires around, and you should be able to get higher values.. so therefore the result that you want.

Or otherwise change the thermistor inside your Z32 AFM to a different temerature co-efficient.. that might also get you higher vlaues with more boost pressure.. But yeah might have trouble with the amount of air you are able to pass through the Z32 area..

just my 20cents worth ;)

what if you had a twin setup? i am very interested as i have bought a working rb25dett setup, but have an rb25 power fc. i also have an safc so was going to use that, but this looks much better?

if i use a dead afm on one turbos intake, and a "live" one on the other, than they should have the same inlet restriction right... i need guidance for the cheapest/easiest way out lol.

turbos are from r33 gtr

I'm still doing a bit of research on this area because I DO want to go for a dual afm setup if only because nobody else has done it yet :)

Anybody know where I can buy a prefabricated Y-pipe like this one on the picture? it's from a singelturbo rb26dett conversion:

Makes sense to use a dummy afm as long as you have the same pod and pipe dimentions, and the filters in a spot where they can suck the exact same amount of air...

Was thinking of another application as well, since one of the problems with airbox's is how restrictive they are once you start getting high up in the horsepower range, could you possibly run another pipe underneath the intake (assuming its a low mount and the pipe would be heading towards the ground) pipe, this would give extra flow and be hidden from unwanted eyes.

Also if this is done on the first batch of upgrades of turbo and injectors would it allow you to keep the factory afm or would you still need to use a z32?

If the bypass pipe was an appropriate diameter, there is no reason you couldnt use the standard AFM. One thing to bear in mind, is that you would want the bypass to flow roughly the same amount of air as the AFM, and make sure you clean the airfilters at the same time, as any differential from when the car is tuned could cause a drastic change in the A/F ratio

just an update.. on my twins i have them both being fed through a single afm. this was the only way we could accurately meter the air going in, and you have to know how much is in each turbo.

so im running a big afm and rb25 power fc

  • 6 years later...

Ive been researching this topic in regards to my afm "hitting the ceiling" so to speak, if 2 afm's wired in parallel gave the same/equal voltage output but at half the value of the single afm, could i just double the percentage the power fc see's? Or tune to suit?

I believe this would be a more accurate way to measure load as aposed to the bypass inlet idea?

Ideas?

I was running a z32, but was having issues with it, it was giving and/or the power fc was reading it as a noisy signal, like it was ever so slightly out of tune?

Hard to explain, it was always 1 cell off where it should be, or the load ramp table needed modifying. I put the stock afm back in and went back to the power intake setting and was sweet. But it hits 5v at 3/4 power.

Rather than run 2, here's another budget idea. Chop up a stock afm and put it into a larger pipe, maybe 3.5 or 4 inch.

I saw a pic of a z32 cut up and put into a pipe, will try to find it again.

Sweet idea, might give that ago.

Ive seen the r35 afm design, i thought about that too but I'd need the load ramp table to start off with.

Also, Can the standard table be stretched out with datalogit?

To cover a broader airflow.

Sounds good in theory, but how well will it handle 20+ psi of boost?

And how well can it correctly read air temp?

Seeing it will either be mounted on the hot side of the charge or the cold side of the charge?

Im not entirely convinced it would work 100% correct all the time?

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
