how are you fellow members?

I have changed to twin Z32's on my RB26 and am running a PFC, and it is hard to start and dosent run the best,

Dose any one know how to change basic settings on the power fc via the hand controller..

or

Is there any way i can run only one z32 air flow meter and somehow brige or cancel out the other?

Thanx for all the help in advance

well for starters select VG30 AFM as the airflow meters. but really you need to get it tuned mate. and no don't just run a single one. you then can only measure half as much airflow. why did you change to them if you don't need their higher airflow measuring potential???

hey thanx for the interest and reply,

i have just upgraded to a bigger single turbo, and just changed to twin z32's because i thought i needed them, but it looks as if i dont so since i have already wired them up i have decided to leave them, so the car dosent run the best at the moment, and also as i am batteling for space i thought it would be a good idea to run one z32 instead of two, i have searcherd the net and have found a few people who make close to 500kw with a single z32, dont know how true that is but it is moore power than what i am intending to make.

thanks for the help any help is welcomed......

They make 500rwkw because they split the signal (effectively half, so 250rwkw x2).

Can be done of course but not ideal by any means.

What turbo do you have?

Other supporting mods?

Sounds like you've been fed some bad advice overall mate

this is the pipe you need for twin Z32 on big single application, made by trust, very nice piece of kit

then on the powerfc as the others have said read the PFC FAQ

in a pinch you can choose VG30 and it should run and idle OK

if you are still having issues with VG30 selected view ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller and check out the values for AF-1 and AF-2 - they should be very similar and no black highlight

thanx guys i will post up a pic of my engine bay soon..

I have a blitz K28 turbo, 1100cc injectors, coolers of all sorts, stg1 cams, custom head oil return to the sump, i dont have the head restrictors as i have read bad things about them, i will post a pic up for you guys soon..

thanks for the help..

hahhaah i have talked to a few reputable shops that i dont want to name and they have explained the fors and against, but thats not the topic at the moment heheh,

so in all your experiance guys what power do you think a sinlge z32 afm can cope with?

How do you figure that?

You can't even see where the Z32 line goes :(

Clearly factory RB26 runs out sooner than both Z32/Nismo, but everyone already knows stock GTR AFM's run outta resolution around 300rwkw and Z32's can do more.

The Z32 basically reports the same voltage as the Nismo AFM after 500kg/hour.

The stock AFM hits 5 volts (ie max voltage) at just over 700kg/hour or about 26lb/min in old speak (which aligns with turbo maps). In the olden days (When I went to uni) the rule of thumb was 1 lb/min of airflow = 10 horsepowers. Which ties in pretty well with your number.

You can measure the AFM voltage off your PFC hand controller which then tells you (With reference to the curve) your airflow. Then go to the turbo map, match the airflow & the boost & you have the duty point for the turbo.

i meant when you said a single Z32 measures a lot less than 26 AFMs.

I'm confused!

Yeah I see what you mean. Depends on how you extrapolate the line I guess. Looking at it again there is probably not much in it.

I guess it doesnt matter much anyway as the PFC is looking for 2 AFM's.

nismoid. I believe he means a SINGLE Z32 AFM will not outflow your standard TWIN RB26 afms. so he's saying why bother going to a single Z32 when you could just have kept your twin standards afms. am I close?

A single Z32 will measure more than stock 26 twins though...

If;

- the assumption that RB26 nismos have the same response to Z32s, and

- the graph is correct

Then no, it wont. However, I doubt that RB26 nismos will respond the same as Z32s since the the Z32s are larger in diameter - it doesnt matter that they have the same guts (hotwire and electrics), the air speed will be a lot less due to the diameter. I'm just guessing of course.

FWIW http://paulr33.com/ has the rates as;

Single Z32 AFM 350rwkw

Twin RB26 AFMs 300rwkw

Twin Z32 AFMs 511rwkw

NFI why 2 x 300 = 511.....

I was just going by the graphs. So there is a fair chance I have it wrong. It depends on how you extrapolate the Z32 curve or even if it runs above the 4.25V shown.

It may be worth checking my PFC to see what the maximum AFM output voltage was to get an idea of how it relates to RWHP.

Nismoid: out of interest how many horsepowers do you reckon a Z32 is good for?

Stabby: I see what you mean - either 2*300=511 or the 300 or the 500 is wrong????

those stats are very wrong and outdated in my FAQ

FYI apexi list them as;

80m RB25 airflow meter can measure up to approx. 300ps (221kW)

80mm VG30 airflow meter can measure up to approx. 500ps (368kW)

90mm VH41 airflow meter can measure up to approx. 400ps (294kW)

*Output is calculated off of measurable air volume

they dont list RB26 std but i think twin Rb26 std max just over 300rwkw

    • 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.
