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)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
