so skyline's are the new VL turb's now?

Weren't they always?

I wish all you dosing (fully sick) skyline owners would sell up and go back to Homodores.

Sick of all this bullshit modification for the sake of a stupid sound which impresses very few people anyway!

Save your time and money on actually modifying for a performance gain perhaps.......aahhh whatever each to their own.

Flame away my dosing freinds.

Jeez ease up, like you said each to their own.

I dont know why some of you guys are so against dose/flutter. I dont think I have met anyone who doesn't turn there head when they hear a dose/flutter?

It sounds good, and there is nothing wrong with it. Doesn't even compare to the poofy sound that a BOV makes.

I'm not trying to start a dose/flutter/bov debate, but if he wants to make it dose, let him.

All he asked was, is it ok to put the AFM into the cooler piping, not "hey, how can I make my skyline dose!?"

i done this only for the reason this to my car was to eliminate the 4 inch inlet of the turbo being reduced to like 2 1/2" from the afm so i put it on the pressure side of the piping so i can have 4 inh all the way to the turbo inlet

f*#k the dose i try my hardest to get rid of it if you want a dose get a vl

muzza'z lol

the restriction is the other way around

what size is the pipe work after the compressor outlet ?

oh, and btw, what the hell is "dose"?

dose/flutter = compressor surge?

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (spool up)

ttttttuuuuuuuuuutttttuuuuuuuuuttttuuuuuuuuuuuttttttuuuuuuutuuu!!!!.. (compressor surge - backing off throttle)

:thumbsup:

paul i think you have this one wrong

my intercooler piping is two and a half inch all the way thru all the way to the plenum and the afm is around 60 cm before plenum after the intercooler piping

the inlet on the turbo is 4 inch so to put the afm in front of that would limit the air flow into the turbo

i have a power fc to tune the lil gritty bits

ha ha i must be too old for that fully sick lingo. why not call it compressor surge as that is what it is?

also, in regards to the comment that "I dont think I have met anyone who doesn't turn there head when they hear a dose/flutter?", then you obviously haven't spoken to ANYONE why doesn't own a skyline or performance vehicle. most people hate it. in fact, i even hate it. i think it sounds stupid and wanky and when i hear it i cringe and vomit a little bit in my mouth

also to make it does have no bov then she will does also use stainless steel longer the better with a 90 bend in it

LOL

But your from Brisbane, I think maybe thats way. No one up QLD way doesn't seem to know what dose is, not having a go!

I haven't met anyone from VICTORIA then, that doesn't turn they head when they hear it.

This is way off topic haha.

Yep.

I was just saying ist off topic to what he was asking.

I have found a 45 deg, 2.5" to a 3" pipe doses best. Not to long though.. my personal opinion since where on the dose topic.

i am a victorian who recently moved to brisbane, so there goes your theory!

Might have to put you in the "mature" category since you don’t meet the minimal requirements of the QLD one.

i htink this idea is flawless at best without an ECU tune of some sort to compensate for the new AFM location

my understanding of hte AFM is this..

the AFM works by calculating. it does not directly measure airflow.

it has a wire that hangs into the lumen of the pipe. this wire heats up to a certain temperature that correlates with a certain resistance in the AFM (contains a variable resistor). when ambient air flows over that wire, it cools the wire down. the more air that flows over the wire, the more it cools the wire down. thus, as airflow increases the wire cools down more and the resistance in the AFM changes. this correlates with a change in voltage to the ECU.

this way, the ECU knows approximately what the airflow is based on the hot wire's operation.

now i see 2 major flaws with placing the AFM in the cooler piping

1) the air is compressed. there is absolutely no evicence that i've ever seen that says that compressed air will cool the wire at the same rate as air at atmospheric pressure. let's look at it from the particle model. say i have 100 particles of O2 in a fixed space and it cools the hot wire by 0.1degC. well if this is compressed to 1bar i now have 200 particles in that fixed space. who's to say that this compressed air will cool the wire by 0.2degC? i don't think the relationship will be as linear as you might think.

2) the air is hot. that's right, its after the turbo. that means that the air going over the wire could be up to 50-80degC having just come out of hte turbo. i don't think hot air will be able to extract heat from the wire as would ambient air, and if it does then it wouldn't be at the same rate as ambient air that passes over the AFM normally.

--> but, i believe that both these issues could be compensated for by a good tuner

so, in summary... my understanding is:

1) the AFM works on a hot wire principal

2) placing it after the AFM means that it measures compressed air not normal air, thus it will not measure effectively without a re-tune

3) placing it after the AFM means that it measures hotter air rather than ambient air, thus it will not measure effectively without a re-tune

this is only based on my understanding of how the AFM works and my understanding of basic physics/chemistry. it might help or it might not, but i thought i would throw it in for discussion

cheers,

Warren

This has been spoken of many times on this and other Nissan forums. I can never stay away from commenting :thumbsup: I almost had the NRG to getup and try it, might in the future.

Hotter Air: Common debate, though can you guesstimate the temp of the air going through the AFMs in a stock setup, when car is stand still and its 40 outside? I would guesstimate close to 50-80

Compressed Air: Its the same amount of air, its just moving faster now (pressurized) I believe it would have close to the same ability to absorb heat from the hotwire, as its denser.

I would say, with a re tune it should be fine, only issue being oil from stock recirc setup, or from leaking turbo cartridge.

turbocharged air is going to be way hotter than intake air.

if intake air is 50deg (because you have a pod in an engine bay) then figure after the turbo its going to be higher, even if its only 80deg, its still higher

in regards to pressuresed air, yes it will move faster, but you are overlooking the fact that pressureised air means that there is more particles of air in a given fixed volume. althought it is moving faster, how do you know that it is cooling twice as much? how do you know that its is cooling proportional to normal air? saying its "close" isn't good enough i believe

its just not as simple as it seems in terms of the physics of it all

now an ECU tune changes the game altogether and its great because the tunes doesn't have to know the slightest of any physics of it all, they simply have to look at the exhaust AFRs and adjust the mixture accordingly..

Damn! lol

only 24, but given the fully sick crowd of skyline owners these days is 16-20 i consider myself old for the skyline community..!

Some people on these forums in there 20s act like there in their 40s.

paul i think you have this one wrong

my intercooler piping is two and a half inch all the way thru all the way to the plenum and the afm is around 60 cm before plenum after the intercooler piping

the inlet on the turbo is 4 inch so to put the afm in front of that would limit the air flow into the turbo

the point paul is making is that the piping after the turbo is only 2.5" so having the afm before the turbo isn't really going to add that much restriction. and unless your compressor wheel is actually 4" then there is no real gains had by having a 4" pipe. and i don't know of any pod filters with a 4" outlet, so wouldn't you just have to have it reduce back to 3" anyway, which is the same size as the afm.

also if you were to run this setup with a bov you would have massive stalling issues, whether it is atmo or plumback. with a plumback and the afm in the stock location it doesn't really register any air moving through it when you lift off. with it in the cooler piping when you lift off and the bov opens it would be registering all the air in the cooler piping that is going past it out the bov and dump a heap of fuel in. so you would need the afm right near the throttle body, and have the bov closer to the intercooler than the afm.

why doesn't the idiot just block off the BOV ?

Oh, I know why, I bet he has a massive f**ken Trumpet amplified supersonic twisty whirly spinner shiney chrome space ship vent to atmosphere one, because he thinks all of the women he makes it go off in front of a all going to get really wet, and come running and try and get into his car?

Another f**king idiot to make cops hate skylines more. Great.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
