Do I Need To Run Z32 Afm?

z32s are 80mm and GTR afm's are 65mm

so they are larger and can physically measure more airflow

there is zero gain to fitting z32s other than being able to run more air through them

ie if your at 300awkw you wont gain power going to twin z32s

it will cost you a bomb however doing it

for GTR keep the 65mm shell and go for twin nismo afm's

these are 65mms and direct swap and it's a Z32 sensor inside the shell

so you get higher resolution in same shell and direct swap

yeah there is a changeover point where you peak 5v on the stock GTR afms and need to upgrade

the problem is it's a costly exercise so a lot of tuners have been able to strech the curve a bit

when you max them there is no harm done, it just means it cant show any more resolution

this means you dont use anymore load cells on the tune

if you max them at 6000rpm not a big deal

if you max them at 3200rpm a big deal and it ends up being a map sensor tune

when i say a map sensor tune, i mean the load axis never changes once you reach target boost

as map sensor is on pressure and boost is fixed by wastegate / boost controller

The modifications to the car are -5 turbos, tomie cams, power fc ,injectors,dumps ect.. the engine has just had a fresh build with forged internals.. i just want to get it all sorted before taking it in to be tuned.. what is your opinion? do them before it gets tuned?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
