I need to upgrade my AFM so I guess I have to get a Z32 AFM.

reason: powerFC reports AFM is maxing out with the boost i'm running.

I'd like to know what parts I need... people have mentioned you can get the AFM quite easily but I need different wiring?

If anyone knows of any for sale/ or prices I should be paying for it could you let me know.

I understand that your AFM may be maxing out, but your car can still be tuned correctly using the std AFM.

Doesnt the Power Fc make an allowance by way of a fudge factor, a constant that allows the ECU to interpolate values beyond the factory AFM range.

I dont think by adding a Z32 AFM you will reap more power, just makes the tuning easier, so has to be weighed up whether it is worth the expense.

If it were impossible to tune correctly with the factory AFM i would understand all the fuss, but i dont think this is the case.

yep for sure...that is a good reason to justify it. I find my AFM max's out at 5000rpm on 1 bar, 6000rpm on 0.8bar so therefore I don't spend much time above these rev ranges and therefore cant justify an AFM.

But at your 17psi I imagine the stock AFM would max out at 5V at around 4000rpm?

Does the power FC have a set fuel map regardless of boost pressure or is it dynamic like the stock ECU? Can someone explain to me the relationship between fuel usage and air intake and boost level in regards to the way the powerFC is tuned for each?

Hey Mark....I start at 2pm mate so I've got every morning free. You at work now I take it....wasting company time on the internet? :)

Yep im working now. I'll be finished at 5:30pm while you'll be just warming up.

You have 200rwkw? I only have 252rwhp which is somewhere near 190rwkw. What have you got on that new car again, and did you get it tuned recently after putting it on the dyno the day I got my bonnet?

I haven't had it tuned since that day it was missing badly on the dyno at UAS. I took out the wrongly gapped iridium plugs the previous owner had in and I put in some cheap coppers gapped correctly. It now pulls nicely up to 7000rpm with no missing as my quick lap times at Wakefield showed :)

So I don't have an exact figure....it's probably about 190-195rwkw at 1 bar. Gotta get it tuned properly soon as I get some money together because it's running so rich I only get 15-16L/100km!!

I'm averaging (from memory) about 13L/100km. I've been keeping a database of my fuel consumption since I started to mod my car (begining of this year) but that database is at home.

I've sent off a few emails to people who can possibly get me a Z32 AFM so i'm waiting to hear the prices. Nick was telling me on the weekend that I need to get the Z32 plus the plug because the one on the skyline doesnt fit.

I got quoted $850 for a brand new Z32 from Col Crawford dealership so there is no way i'm going for a new one.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
