Yes the pretty picture shows a diversion plate. But also a pair of Apexi pod filters linked to some 80mm Z32 AFM's (Actually Bosch units) using the Apexi kit. And there is also a www address to greenline.

Don't forget you need the plugs to go into the AFM's. They come with the Apexi kit but not with the Ebay special.

The poor man's solution;

I stretched the standard rubber hose over the 80 mm AFMs, 65 mm to 80 mm so 7.5 mm was no big deal. I bought a couple of new hose clamps as the standard ones were just a bit too small.

When I bought the AFMs (SAU "For Sale" section) I made sure that they came with plugs.

I already had one HKS 80 mm pod filter off the R32GSTS, so I bought another one from the SAU "For Sale" section.

All up cost including the AFM's was $650.

i also tried that but found the front filter to stick up in the air and could not shut the bonnet due to not clearing the blow off valve return pipes. that was with the apexi filters which are longer though.

Id have to say I did a bit better then u sydneykid $220 for the apexi pods, bends, silicon hose and clamps + $150 for 2 x rb25det AFM's + bonus of not having to have plugs as they straight back in to the rb26 so for me $370 total including afm's

or you could just buy 2 rb20/25det afms instead of the Z32's then u dont need plugs! ebay special wins again hahah

Except the RB20 AFM's are not nearly as good as they are made out to be, nor as good as the Z32 units.

you need to lengthen the wires for the plugs though. I was only after around the 350awkw mark so thats why i used RB20/25 afm's. only cost 70 each and the car makes pretty much 350awkw. they are getting close to readig 5 volts though.

mate just depends wot sort of power u r aiming for! ive seen people with 400kw with rb20 AFM's

Before spending 80bux on two plugs, can one use some small female spade terminals to attach to the AFM?? I'm giving that a go before departing cash for the real thing.

[OFENSV]

you probaly could aslong as you put the wires around the right way and they are insulated so they cant touch each other.

[GeeTR]

LoL, come on, what I look like?....

wait, don't answer that

Correct position and some wide rubber / polyurethane tube around the AFM plug, to stop any moisture / dust getting in there. I'm not quiet sure why ppl buy the plug. Guess ill find out soon. Will do a DIY too.

Edited February 15, 2008 by GeeTR

[heller44]

probably for the retention clip.. otherwise how are you going to lock them in there?

[GeeTR]

Crimping the spade terminal a lil should grip the pins ok, then maybe large size heat shrink over the whole lot, zip tie? or afore mentioned rubber tubing?... maybe it is a too ghetto

There would have to be a more elegant solution, giving some time thinking.
