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,

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
