damn you can fit the rb25 afm inside the q45 afm

4 to go James

I believe Strutto is organising the beer and strippers now

[BelGarion]

lol coolies, last stripper i had dance for me was a very hot little brunette

I usually direct all verbal conversation to the most intelligent person in the room, invariably it is me, ergo I do a lot of talking to myself

hence why u dont talk to me

interesting fact

the rb25 afm standard has 2 layers of mesh on it, one on the inlet side and one on the outlet side

the q45 afm only has mesh on the inlet side (remember mine is brand new, yay for a good deal)

so obviously the second mesh isnt doing much, and can be done away with

OK getting technical now but could that have something to do with air reversion through the rb25 afm due to forced induction?

Or should I just go have a nap?

[BelGarion]

well someone once told me it was there to smooth out the flow of the air being sucked into the engine, but the way i can see it was only one screen of mesh was needed to do that, the second one served no real purpose

and there shouldnt be air coming back outta your turbo if your blow off valve is in working order

[BelGarion]

also i removed the second layer of mesh ( turbo side of the afm) on my rb25 filter, at the same time i put a pod on, so mines been running that way for a long long time

Did you notice any performance increase when you did this?

[BelGarion]

oh and my afm is also too big for the intake pipe i had on my car before too :S damnit i need to solve that problem now

[Nexus9]

and that is 7000+

has the stripper arrived yet James? I think Adrian organised a fat-a-gram, so being a large girl it will probably take her a little longer to get there

[BelGarion]

well i did notice it was more powerful but as i said at the same time i did my afm mesh i put a pod filter on too, so yer,

i cant see it making the car slower, and my turbines fins are in perfect condition so it obviously didnt cause any damage to the turbo so i guess its worth doing

mabey you should try it and see if it does infact make a difference or not

[BelGarion]

the way i see it is dragging the air through 2 sets of mesh is gonna slow it down somewhat

makes sense to me

[Nexus9]

But you also have to wonder as to why there are two mesh's there in the first place, in my experience manufacturers of any product don't add things unless there is a reason.

[BelGarion]

if you dont wanna butcher your afm, ill bring it to the dyno day and we can change ur afms over and see if it does infact make a difference

[BelGarion]

chris yer, thats why i say, its odd that the q45 afm doesnt have the second mesh originally, mines brand new and there is no place for the mesh to have sat

i guess ill be at the dyno day cause i somehow dont think my car will be ready for the rocky trip bit of a bummer

[BelGarion]

i think proving it on a dyno is a good idea, we have the means and the method to do it, ie adrian ur afm isnt butchered, mine has had the second mesh removed so yer should be interesting to do
