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/

    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
