From Rotors To Rb's

[s213b]

Hi guys,

ive been into rotaries since i was little, and have been fascinated by them (by the amount of power you can get from a 1.3L, and by how you can go through 2 engines in 2 years) however now i have bought a 1993 skyline r32 gtst-4.

Im still figuring out this website, as its pretty different to ausrotary, and i have a few question about air flow meters that i wasnt sure where to put.

Why are z32 afms so good? They are the standard air flow meters off a 300zx yeh? are they simply used to enhance singnal to ecu in high boost applications? Hw much would one expect to pay 2nd hand?

If someone could PM me (ive figured it out now ) thatd be mad.

cheers,

Josh.

hi and welcome, to answer what you said about the z32 AFM, they are the same size as the stock skyline AFMs but they read in a slightly different resolution so they don't max out quite as easily (allowing a higher max power before they max out). you do have to have either a piggy back ecu or an aftermarket ecu to run one though. you can't simply hook one up to the stock ecu.

hey, ahk, thanks.

and yeh i know about the ecu tuning business etc etc, but has anyone else got any info on weather or not they are the airflow meter off a 300zx?

cheers.

well since the z32 refers to the model of 300zx (in the same way the r32 refers to a r32 skyline) then yes, they are from a 300zx.
