Hey guys,

ive have a Apexi Afc neo lying around the house that used to be used in my soarer, question i have is it worthwhile installing into the GTR? is it even possible as the rb26 runs 2 afms?

my car is relatively stock (turbo back exhaust) and don't plan on major mods, so i don't justify shaking out a $1k for a PFC.

not looking for major power gains just a bit more response/torque maybe some economy on the way.

any input would be great?

Waste of tiime imo...

To me the gtr ecu is lean as is until very high up in the rev range so economy is probably as good as it gets with no direct control over timing, and timing is where its at if you want more response/torque..

Remember the afc affects fueling by altering the air flow signal and it changes timing indirectly....most times opposite of where you would want it to be so its a balancing act and gains if any would be minimal

Its works ok for the 25det guys with minor mods trying to get rid of r&r but on the 26 its basically worthless

With that said i have a safc2 on my 26 along side a pfc but its sole purpose is to act as a 2nd knock dectecting device...a feature the neo doesnt have

So unless if you just want a pretty colourful screen on your dash ditch it and get a pfc

sif, nistune supplied fitted and tuned for under 1k, power fc 1k to buy then tuning :)

You'd need to get 32 GTR ECU on top of that.

Unless there's Nistune board for 33 GTR available?

If any of your mates have a wideband, hook it up to your rear exhaust take it for a ride, if the A/F are decent don't bother with anything. Just enjoy the car the way it is.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
