Has anyone actually tried to run the stock afm with a higher boost setup? After my testing last night I noticed that even at 17/18psi it wasnt hitting fuel cut. It did start to ping from lack of fuel I'm guessing but it didn't shut down, just kept pulling. I might do the nistune and 440cc injectors first and just see how it goes on the dyno.

They usually run out of resolution at or around 225rwkw ish.

I would very strongly suggest you stop leaning on the car until you get the Nistune and dyno the car. Although they usually run rich with more boost on stock ECU's, if you are hearing audible pinging in the car you are doing damage. What fuel pump?

Before you go on the dyno make sure you have all your exhaust mods sorted, fuel pump, injectors etc sorted.

I was only leaning on it to see if i could get the boost below a reasonable level as I keep getting boost cut. It now set as low as possible (7psi) provided I don't go above 4000rpm.

I was just curious as z32s are not the cheapest part to replace.

Ok so shopping list - nistune type 4 board, deatschwerks 440cc injectors, z32 afm, wgnc34 to z32 afm wiring adapter loom,

Will the stock pump support 250awkw or should I get a walbro/Bosch?

What part number walbro is it I need? I've found the following at kudos motorsport. I can drive down there to get the parts which makes me feel a little bit better too.

Bosch afm - $297

Afm plug - $33

Deatschwerks 440cc injectors - $550

Walbro in tank gss-341 or gss-342 - $121

why are you going with such small injectors, you can get 550cc injectors for that sort of money,

pretty sure standard is 370cc, so 440cc isn't a huge upgrade, especially when you're trying ot add 100kw

Output of your stock pump is not the problem so much as the fact that it is OLD. Deatschwerks pump outperforms Walbro and Bosch although it doesn't have a track record as yet but the flow chart looks good.

That's sounds fair. I with the prices pretty much the same I think I will get a walbro, just as I know they have a good rep. Just need to know if I need the inlet/outlet in line or 180 apart.

Problem with the S2's is the little map sensor near the BOV. Sure the stock AFM will max out eventually but the MAP will cut power well before then, mine was cutting out at around 14-15psi.

If your not keen on shelling out for a Z32 just get nistune done and disable the factory MAP protection when you get it tuned, you might get away with the stock MAF depending on what power your chasing.

You can just pull the vacuum line to the sensor to stop the overboost protection, but with only a stock tune you'll be playing russian roulette with your engine.

I'd your after some positive feedback on deastchwerks injectors, I've been running them for about 3 years now, no issues at all. They were basically drop in, just had to space the fuel rail out with some 3mm washers.

Also a little tip if you do go the Z32 path, I found out after I shelled out for a tomei plug, but the VL RB30 MAF uses the same plug as a Z32 MAF. If you need a wiring diagram I cam help you out, I posted up one in a thread a while ago.

Quick question, is it ok if I bolt on z32 AFM prior to getting Nistuned?

no, different resolution

unless you wire it up and drive with it unplugged and can drive it under 2000 rpm (but this is not a good thing to try unless you blow a cooler pipe and have no tools to put it back on with)

Thank for that!

Qwk32 if you can post a link or pm me a copy of the wiring diagram it would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone confirm how big of injectors I will need for 250kw? If 440cc is big enough I would prefer to save myself some money.

Lilcrash; I think we're at the same point in modding and possibly after the same level numbers, both power and $$. :thumbsup:

440cc are big enough as they will flow around 440hp at the flywheel. However if you the price is similar I would choose injectors with a little more headroom like the Deka 600cc in case you choose to go for a larger turbo or if ethanol based fuels become a possibility.

Hey Pipster those injectors on ebay are cheap!! Will it fit on my Neo RB25DET without mods to the fuel rail/ other bits??? Are they good injectors? thanks

i think so, check the thread in the diy section

you will definitely need new plugs but i think the length is correct (may need small spacers on the fuel rail)

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
