Hi Fellas,

My R33 GTST will be tuned soon, I got an RB30 bottom end put on it with a GT3540 0.82

My mechanic is aiming somewhere around 370rwkw mark, however, I do remember somewhere that the Z32 AFM maxes out at like 320 rwkw?

Is this correct?

If so, and it does max out, does this mean I will have to purchase a new ECU and sell my PFC? Or is there a more powerful AFM on the market?

Cheers.

This one maxes out at 500PS (368kW) - http://www.nengun.com/tomei/air-flow-meter-z32

Is that at the engine or at the rear wheels?

Also, is a VH45 AFM bigger and better than the z32? What does that max out at?

I believe the Z32 nengun is selling is the same as the one I got, it's just that Tomei sell them, they are still a genuine nissan part.

Thanks

Alternatively if you split the inlet to 2 pipes, fit an AFM on both pipes, the air flow through each flow meter will be half, so effectively each one would only need to be rated to half the power output (370/2 = 185kw) Effectively you could get away with 2 RB20/25 AFM which are relatively cheap in comparision.

Since the PFC is now only seeing half the airflow you will have to half the injector sizing to keep your AFR the same.

VH45 AFM would be the easier option

Values in rwkW:

RB26 single - 149 / twin - 299 / 65mm diameter

RB20/25 single - 226 / twin - 453 / 80mm

Z32 single - 255 / twin - 453 / 80mm

Q45 single - 302 / twin - 605 / 90mm

Well I knwo for a fact that's incorrect, when I had my GT2835 Pro S setup, I was making close to 280rwkw and the Z32 was no where near maxing out....

Are your sources credible, where are you obtaining this information from???

Mine was doing 5v at 302rwkw and prior 4.8v at 270rwkw. 444 injectors maxed at 250-260rwkw and needed fuel pressure to get to 300rwkw.

320rwkw with 5.1v. :D

That nengun link - Tomie is just a Z32, 500ps/hp is 'little' over 300rwkw.

I've also seen a Q45 max out earlier than the Z32; not sure what was up with that.

Same dyno the std rb20/25 afm was maxed a little over 180rwkw.

I'm moving away from afm. Looking in to the ViPec 'possibly' there still appears to be a few little niggly's with them though.

Even if the afm is max'd you can still bodgily tune it. The problem is there needs to be a little head room so on those cool nights it doesn't lean out or det.

I am currently running my standard afm at 110%, tuner does not like it though.

Another option that i have seen is to put the guts of the z32 into a 4" pipe, therefore you will have more volume at the a certain flow.

I know of 2 25's making 330 plus at 4.9 volts with z32's, I've also tried a q45 that maxed at much less power!

forgot to mention they were both running e85, most likely getting a bigger bang for each gulp! it's so tuner friendly it wouldnt matter if the afm maxed out.

I did that and don't really like it. I would at the very least put it in 3.5" pipe instead of 4". It's tough to get to idle correctly, and it's real twitchy at part throttle stuff. We tacked a 2.5" length of intercooler pipe inside the 4" intake pipe around the hot wire and it seemed to help some, but it's still more trouble than it's worth. If you don't want to go MAP, I would look at Ford Lightening MAF's. They also make upgraded MAF's for Lightenings that are supposed to have digital processors and something like 4 or 8 hot wires with a big X in the middle to cut down on turbulence that are good to over 800rwhp that idle like a dream. I'm trying to find them now. Anywho, they are 0-5v hot wire sensors and retail for somewhere around $300 USD IIRC.

Q45 single - 302 / twin - 605 / 90mm

This is not right. There are quite a few Z32's with 320RKW + that still use a Single MAF

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
    • I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
