this will depend on what motor you have

if your car came with stock pink label AFM its series 2 and you can only use series 2 (pink afm's)

if its blue or green then its a series 1 engine and you can use r32 AFM fine (as its the same unit)

no im not using series 2 as ino there pink i have just been trying green label ones and the only one that works is the r32 gtst afm that has 4 gold pins not 5

and no the power is the same if not better coz this turbo spools up quicker lol so ur comment sucks

My comment doesn't suck, I would imagine it has very SIMILAR spooling characteristics as my engine. Yes it may spool quicker but it will choke top end.

Also how do you figure that a turbo that flows LESS air will make MORE power??

Big talk for someone asking for help...

And bubba is right...power will be lower as the r32 turbo is smaller and flows less...and it will choke alot quicker than a r33 turbo...i think what you are trying to say is boost response is better...

hmm... i have a S1 r33 and i have a pink afm???

works great. its a 95 model (so 1.5 or whatever..) but i know the 95(1.5) model doesnt have a s2 engine.

i never said it was better, it makes the same power and everyone has told me r32 turbo is the same as r33 i dunno if thats right or not, but this car dont choke i dont have dino sheet but what ever a stock r33 would run with a front mount on 10psi im telling you it flys past a stock r33 as i beat one the other day he did the whole turning right thing after it lol

yeah a 32 turbo and 33 are very different.

its hard to measure and come to a conclusion that it would be quicker than a stock 33 simply because you 'raced' one on the street.

- he might not have been giving it as much

- missed a gear

- didnt know he was racing you

- or been a real shit driver

many factors..

just out of curiosity, how come you have a 32 turbo on a 33 anyway?

and no the power is the same if not better

-same engine

-one has a larger turbo than the other

and you think it would be the same if not better, with the smaller turbo?

unless you have other hidden modifications that you are unaware of or its high flowed or something. i dont see how you could conclude this.

chuck it on a dyno and see what it makes i reckon :thumbsup:

The turbo is going to make roughly the same power regardless of what engine it is on, larger capacity will just make the power earlier.

So, like I said, 160rwkw @ 4600rpm. Put a 33 turbo back on there and I bet you'll make ~180rwkw @ ~6000rpm.

    • 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.
