Rb25 Afm's On A Gtr

Hey everyone,

i was just doing some searching on whether i could replace my stock GTR afms for some green label RB20/25 ones.

i have read some posts saying that it is possible, but i was wondering whether there is anyone that is using 2 green label AFM's on their GTR and what issues they experienced with it. for me it seems to be the much cheaper option than forking out for a pair of z32's. i am not chasing huge power.

my mods are

2860-5's

Nistune ECU

660cc injectors

Walbro fuel pump

3in exhaust with a 3.5in muffler

3in highflow cat

rebuild engine with forged internals

recond head done while engine out for rebuild

stock r34 GTR intercooler

stock AFM's

i had it last dynoed and got 320rwkw @ 18psi

i know that the turbos have much more room for more power. but i would be limited to the stock intercooler and 3in exhaust

but i would like to just be able to bump the boost up to 20psi and see if i could get close to 350rwkw without maxing out my AFM's

so to me paying $400 for a second hand set of z32's and getting some piping and filters for the bigger AFM's is not worth the extra 30rwkw. so if i could pick up some green label AFM's for cheaper i would be much happier, and my wallet would be a little fuller.

Cheers,

It is doable, you will require a retune just as if you had installed Z32s or nismo AFMs.

Guaranteed it is covered more than enough on the forum, it would be almost the exact same deal as installing Z32s. You will need a new suction pipe to fit the 80mm AFMs as the stocks are 65mm and you will need the plugs for them also.

AFAIK you will also need to change your air filters.

Thats EVERYTHING you need to know.

Cheers,

$400 for 30Kw is a very good deal, once you do all the basic stuff like ECU and Exhaust, getting a whack of power like that get's a whole lot more expensive then $400...

Pluses I found for using 2 RB25 AFM's- they fit on the stock inlet piping (with a little stretching, and I needed to add an elbow to get the top one around the power steering res) and they plug straight into the standard plugs.

Well there you go!

Although, they are the same size as a Z32 and have been said NOT to fit.

cheer's guys,

i am aware that i'll need to get a retune for the bigger AFM's, that's not an issue. i'll speak to my tuner and ask whether he is able to do it.

another tuner i spoke to about this told me he wouldnt do it, because he wont tune on second hand AFM's he only uses brand new z32's because he said that its very hard to get the tune right on GTR's because there are 2 AFM's and they could be reading differently?

all i am after is a little more scope so with a slight bit more boost i have some reading from the AFM's that isnt at full.

will post back once i get it done with the results

If thats the case, just get nismo or mines afm's, direct fit and same power handling as they are essentially std units recalibrated to near z32 specs. The smaller body of the nismo /mines items allow nicer low and mid tuning.

And yes you need to change your air filter setup as the afm's (either ones) are physically bigger. The inlet pipes are quite stretchy, will stretch to accomadate 3'' piping. Keeping the same plug for the rb25's was the factor that decided it for me at the time. If I was going to keep running afm's (I now run motec) I would seriously consider the nismo option though expensive, they are brand new, have the required resolution for the sort of power you're after with a streetable twin turbo setup and fit without modification (apart from tuning of course).

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
