i was wondering if anyone could tell me how can i minimise this. only happens when im climbing hills at low revs.

alsogoing in for a dyno soon i was wondering is there a big difference between using z32 AFM compared to standard, is it just easier to tune using z32 or

do you get more power from it?

when you say chuffing? do you mean compressor surge? turbo may be too small for the motor. if you have an electronic boost controller, you may be able to bring the boost on later.

as for AFM's, its tuning resolution, air goes through the AFM, and voltage increases with more air going through, problem with the stock one is it reaches max voltage with not alot of air going through it, so when you start moving more air (with a GT30) the ECU wont know because the AFM tops out too early. clear as mud?

i had compressor surge with a highflow turbo i had, and it would only surge when coming underload (* going up hills, just comin onto boost)

i found out that the wheels (wheels were from an isuzu truck) that were in the turbo were way too big for it, and was pushing air back through the afm, or something to that effect.

i have a gt30r, and only issue i had with it was idle cause the air coming from it was affecting afm, so the afm was just moved further away from the turbo and is now fine.

i think the hks cast low mount manifolds with balance pipe would eliminate it

Balance pipe for a GTR, no balance pipe for a Gtst.

I opted for the 100mm intake with the reversion flutes for my GT3076 aka Gt30r, just in case, to be sure, to be sure [and I have the Hks cast low mount and hi temp coated + extrude honed]. I have nil problems with it, but I am running with Tomei 256/8.5's so it will be just a bit different to std there as well.

You'll need a Z32 with the Gt30r, std will not give enough.

lol a GT30R frame being too small for the motor, what a load of rubbish. It has nothing to do with that at all.

R33747 - When you say you don’t have a Z32 on there now, what is the state of the tune?

Fact you don’t have a Z32 makes me think your running a half-done setup as a GT30 is going to give you 270rwkw+…

A stocker AFM wont even come close

Now, the below is assuming you've setup the car and tuned it correctly etc, which I don’t think you have.

The GT30R is most likely the 600hp variant most likely...

They have a compressor wheel that’s classed as oversize... so at low RPM its going to surge, mine did just a little around 2000rpm.

Not a lot you can do unless you wanna start playing around with things.

The easiest way is to get the smaller 500hp wheel in the front, fixes all the problems and the car will be more responsive and virtually make the same peak power.

i had Z32 AFM on the car when i had the power fc but when i got an EPA i put the stock ecu back in but the car wouldnt run properly with the Z32. i was just wondering if i could get away with it ( running stock AFM ) because its a hassle changing it. Also what kind of boost would you consider as safe when going for a dyno tune. Ive blown 1 motor and i dont wat to did it again.. I was thinking around 1 Bar. What are peoples thoughts thanks or experiences?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
