So after my S14 RB25 maxing out a Q45 then Z32 i eventualy swapped the pfc to a R33 GTR D-jetro PFC,, that solved my problem,,,

My S13 has a MAF PFC as well and was maxing the Q45 at 1.3bar with the GT35... so i tried something a little different before ditching that for a D-jetro.

100mm intake with hacked Q45...

64mm center tube the sensor sits in to prevent turbulance that plauges these things

Finnished... well almost, still needs to be polished and to epoxy the sensor into place...

Now at 1.6bar im only at 4.6volts, should be able to get to my boost target now by 5volts, even better than this is that there is no usual part throttle surge or voltage movement which usualy happens.

Just a cheap upgrade option for those guys maxing MAF's

Think about how a hot wire air flow meter works, it is only measuring the air going past the element itself, which is just a portion of the total airflow. This would just make it a different percentage, may not be perfectly linear response but should be able to be mapped against.

I don't see how the sensor can now accurately measure correct airflow? You are only measuring one small part of it.

just change the load scale to suit. as long as the flow through the AFM is CONSISTANT in its ratio with the air going around, there will be no problem. which, unless there is turbulance through the pipe, wont be a problem.

now, that internal pipe may protect against, or make the problem worse (only my opinion). very interested to see results.

And you dont have to use a Q45 sensor, just do the sums, and any nissan AFM sensor can be used, just need to get the pipe size right to suit. Mine is a stock gtr sensor in a 4.75in internal diameter pipe, should be 5v at 500rwkw

Just so happens i have about 10 Q45's laying around from cars ive changed to D-jetro. :rolleyes:

It works perfectly, I have done it without a center pipe before and it always picked up a cruize hesitation and usualy a .2 to .3v movement @80 - 120kph in the afm voltage from the air hitting the filter (which you can realy feel in an SR20), i now have thin, clean and smooth line when I use the oscilloscope. The center tube runs the length of the lower outer section, which means i have roughly 100mm of tube before and after the sensor itself to help the air smooth out slightly to stop turbo and air filter interference.

All i did to get it going nice was to rescale the AFM (over 35% at higher flow rates), still need to do a full tune obviously to see full benefit due to the added boost I can now run.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
