hey guys..

so my afm is shitting itself.. have 2 options, get a new bosch z32 one for $300 + the cable or a new one for the rb20 for $1000 (unless someone knows of one cheaper) thats a genuine nissan one.

i dont want to get a second hand one as it may just as shite as mine, i want to elimnate the afm as the problem.

just wondering if you can run a z32 afm on the standard ecu for a bit, until i get a safc atleast, without detrimental problems, doesnt need to make killer power, just needs to run and eliminate the afm as the problem.

stupid question im sure, but anywho.

cheers

Send your AFM to me and ill repair it...easy

ive already pulled it apart and checked, cleaned, and re soldered the connections.. if thats what you mean by you fixing it. im not sure if it is definatly the afm.. could be shite in the tank/lines that is stopping full flow for a sec... could be afm.. so i really wanna knock it out and write the afm off.. so even if its consistently running rough becuase it has a z32 afm atleast i know the cause and its consistent. if it it still does what it does... then i know its not the afm.

paul, if you can assure me that your "fixing" will make it as good as new, then i will consider it, i can have it there today but i'd need it back asap..

cheers

z32 with no tuning will make it run lean, so lean it may not even run well at all, so that is not option, unless you retune to suit.

another afm for rb20/25 should only be $50 or so, what i sold my last one on here for.

thanks, thats all i needed to know. ill leave the z32 idea alone.. i know i can get another afm for anywhere from $50 to $220... but noone can guarantee the condition.. it may be just as faulty as mine. the only way to take the afm out of the question is to get a brand new one.

To eliminate the AFM just get it onto a scan tool. Injectronics do change over AFM's for around the price of a new Z32 item.

You make your payment and they will send you a new one and if that fixes the problem you send your old one back. If not you get your money back. They also have good warranty/guarantee. http://www.injectronics.com.au/

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
