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

do you no if the blue label air flow meters have 5 gold pins for the plug or 4 like a r32 one's do.

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 average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
