Flow Potential Of R34 Gt-r Air Flow Meters?

Hi all,

How much power can the stock R34 GT-R air flow meters handle before it needs to be upgraded to bigger afms (Z32's) for more power?

To my understanding, isnt it around 300rwk's and not much more?

Cheers,

they will run to maximum voltage somewhere between 280 and 300kw. From there the tune is "blind", there is only a single point in the ECU for all airflow above 5v which means it is compromised in both fuel and timing to make sure it stays safe.

yep

what he means is if its tuned and maxed out at 20psi, if the car overboosts or you turn the boost up the state of tune will not change as the ecu does not know the boost level has changed so it could cause detonation or a too lean of a mixture for the extra boost.

it works the other way as well, if the afm max's out at 17 psi and you tuned the car to 23psi, then you decide to turn the boost down to 17psi, then it will run too rich and you won't be getting the right power / mixtures for that boost level

So its kinda ok but not recomended to tune the car with a maxxed out AFM, if you dont intend on changing the boost at all then you can possibly get away with it if you have a decent boost control that will never fail and overboost

Thanks everyone for all of your replies.

I will be having the following mods:

Garrett GT2860-7 turbos

Apexi Power FC

Apexi Power FC Boost Control Kit (running 1.2, or even 1.3 bar)

Nismo 600cc injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Apexi Power intake kit

HKS cam pulleys

Tomei Poncams 260's type B

HKS Front pipe

HKS Cat

Blitz NuR cat back

So im guessing that with all of the above mods and the boost that I hope to be running (1.2 or even 1.3 bar) I should upgrade afms? I was thinking of the Nismo afms...

yeah I would. and I would get the nismo afms too. I went new gen nissan Z32s on the last GTR, and nismos on this one. performance wise they are very, very close. and the nismos have the advantage of being standard size.

Oh ok so the Z32's are actually bigger than my stock ones? Which means they wouldnt bolt straight up?

And the Nismo ones would use the same ECU plugins?

Also, you dont think its over kill to get the Nismo ones for my application with the mods I have listed above?

For 1.2-1.3 bar, i wouldnt bother upgrading until you actually know you've maxed them. I think its undue spending at this point.

You might well find you might come close, but they wont actually max @ that boost level. Every setup is different of course

And ye, if you do max them - Nismo all the way. Z32's are too much of a stuff around.

www.perfectrun.com.au are the cheapest for Nismo's that i've found recently... they can get em cheaper than an importer i know :D

Perfect run (providing stock) should have em here in 2-3 weeks so its not as if you have to wait forever anyhow.

What about Power FC D Jetro Glen? Then you wont have to run air flow metres at all. Just unplug them.

Thats how mine is with my Vipec ECU

Hi Bakes, unfortunately I already have my normal Power FC installed so its too late for D Jetro?

Oh and R31Nismoid, thanks for your input. I am most likely heading towards that direction where I get the car tuned and see if they do actually max out cos then I can always replace them with the Nismo ones if necessary.

On a bit of a side note, should I also upgrade the fuel pressure regulator to handle the Nismo 600cc injectors & Nismo fuel pump along with the other mods I have?

I am thinking of the Nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator...

Cheers,

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
