hello peoples, i have a r32 turbo im my rb25 r33 gtst. i have had problems with my air flow meter so i used one off my mates he has a r32 gtst and my car flew. so i went to get a new air flow meter today and every r33 one a tryed was no good so i got a r32 gtst air flow meter now the car runs fine is my problem that i have a r32 turbo on a rb25 motor and thats why it dont like the r33 air flow meter????

thanks

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.

someone has changed your afm plug to a series 2 one...for some reason

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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
