RB25DET with a GT35R,

Car is fitted with a PowerFC and an FC Edit,

Problem is at 1.4bat im maxing the Q45 MAF, need to be able to support another 100wkw with my new build up,

I see a lot of people talking about options (with keeping the PFC) like running dual filters, ectr but nothing cut and dry.

Has anyone tried cutting the sensor out of the MAF and fitting it into a 100mm pipe? (wont be in the middle though) or using a cost effective MAP sensor converter or somthing thats not going to cost huge amounts of $$$ yet will support higher air flow?

Thanks

a few options come to mind

relocate the Q45 circuit to after intercooler pipe work and see if it helps (might not)

run twin q45's and use a piggyback inline device (safc will work) to average the two into a single afm signal

run a twin afm ecu and run twin afms

there were mentions and rumors of a batch of q45's that are near or in some cases have less resolution than the z32 it could be one of these

You still have a GT35 on there?

It shouldnt max out a Q45

I ran 24psi/GT30 and over 350rwkw with a lowly Z32 without issue as far as i know.

Ive actualy maxed it with a 3076R .82 at 370wkw at 1.65bar, previously maxed a z32 on the same setup at 1.45bar.

Its now a 35R and I plan to run a lot of boost on the new motor and want to sort it

just get another ecu that uses map sensor instead of afm, otherwise u will be chasing tails over and over, not that pfc are crap but i would have had enough at z32 maxing out and now thinking of running dual afm, no chance, use the new microtech, for what pfc's are worth now you could easily change to a microtech, and nearly anyone can tune them.

got an issue somewhere.... R33 4dr T78 410rwkw PFC and Z32 no dramas......

410rwkw on a single Z32?

even at 300-320wkw on the SR20's ive done I get close maxing Z32's... how the hell do you get 410wkw out of one?

Maybe this south african air is to dence :rofl:

I've seen 360rwkw on an SR single z32 no problems with more resolution to go.

The rumor of Q45 afms having smaller resolution then Z32 I think is most likely true.

At any rate can you get the PFC to run twin Z32's ?

Oii, maybe I should stop buying intercoolers with holes in them or somthing...

Clearly im doing somthing backwards because I have NEVER been able to get that much out of them! but I know for a fact that the Q45 im running now lets me run higher boost than the Z32 I had on, and that was all I changed, now from 1/2 way threw 2nd gear im running 5.1v to the finnish line in a semi pathetic 11.5 1/4 @210kph with a terrible 2.1sec 60ft (yep our local track is terrible)...

ehh back to the drawing boards.

microtech would be my last choice in a long list of ECU's.....

run a autronic or motec with map sensor will support any power figure you throw at it

dont run microtech you may as well plug a game boy (run rotors well but)

a mate has haltec e11 in stagea with gt35r which runs it pretty good

and for how much you could sell rb25 pfc for you mite get a e11 for around the same price

microtech would be my last choice in a long list of ECU's.....

Agree, the run rotor's well but I have had drama with them on piston cars, especialy with coil packs.

The Q45 I have on my shelf which was in the car a few weeks ago is 22680-61U00 A36-000-P60 3803R

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
