hey guys,

i was wondering if anybody knows what this is? it says "Pivot ACS-M Air flow conditioner", i googled around and found that it was to change air/flow ratios similar to a SAFC...

the dial has -6% to +6% settings but i don't know what it signifies or means.. i was wondering if its safe to be messing around with this thing? or if i can just remove it from my car and reset my ECU to return it back to normal factory settings?

its a pretty primitive way to run richer or leaner as it works across the band. there would be no reason to use one unless there was a problem with the car, or if there were mods that needed this.

What if there is something wrong with the car that makes it run lean, the Pivot ACS is used to make the car run richer, thus eliminating the risk of detonation. Take it out and you put your engine at risk.

Don't just rip it out, that'd be stupid, go to a tuner, put your car on a dyno and see what it does and then possibly look at having your ECU retuned to negate taking it out. Till then, leave it the fuck alone, its not doing anything harmful.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
