How about any time your standard AFM maxxes out? Which is about (or a bit more than) 300 engine HP. You can go past the AFM max out point, but if you want to retain the ability to control the mapping, it's worth upgrading.

this, although its more like 300rwhp (varies from car to car obviously) than 300bhp

Thanks guys,

actually I am not sure what sticker is even on mine. might have to duck outside and have a gander.

Anyway i was aiming around the 250-280rwkw with Hyypergears ATR43 SS1.5 so i guess i will need one. Just out of interest are the the same physical specs as a stock gtst one as in would the mounting holes match up to the standard airbox. I need everything to look as much as standard as possible....

Ps: I forgot to ask, has anyone seen the aftermaket z32's on ebay (brand new)? any thoughts...

for example.......

hello

ECR33 AFM is 80mm and maxes around 220rwkw ish, some can do more, some less, but they all peak 5v around this level

VG30 AFM (or Z32 we call it) is 80mm and maxes around 400rwkw ish, some can do more, some less, but they all peak 5v around this level

both are a direct swap for the physical diameter and adapters but the wiring is different

ECR33 S2 is pink label 3 wire and VG30 is orange label 4 wire (extra ground wire)

there are also Z32 (really VG30 AFM's) fake on ebay so do not BUY fake ones

a legit Z32 brand new costs $350 ball park and comes in an orange BOSCH box

look at the pics of this page for a fake Z32

also Ive never seen "green" plastic based Z32s like that EBAY url you posted, they are knock offs or fakes or copies or shitters

cheers Paul, thanks for the heads up...

I often wonder about ebay copies and I would love to know what the green maxes out on though. would be an interested experiment

has any members bought something like this "a fake" and got some real testing from it like what was on Pauls URL above with maxe rekw & voltages?

That specific ebay one isnt a Z32...

It's a dead give away with how the ad is worded. Notice how it says "aftermarket Z32", as in - not original. No where does he say it is OEM/Genuine etc. The last line of his ad says "check other listing for genuine"

That's so he can cover his ass when you realise you've purchased a paper weight :)

His genuine ones are selling for $320 or there abouts.

that link states its an aftermarket replacement and to check his other listings for genuine stuff so theres nothing dodgy going on there.

alot of the older fake z32s worked fine in every way, they just maxxed out at much lower power levels than genuine ones.

if you end up getting one a cheap solution for the plug is to get a rb30 afm plug as they're the same.

Pfff do not be telling people that fake Z32 AFMs are any good. They are not.

We are talking about a extremely sensitive and critical component of the fuel system here... "she'll be right" doesn't cut it!

It's not just about "peak power" there are many other factors at play here not least of which is consistency & reliability

Of course if it's just for your fully sik drift car with lots of go-fast stickers on the side then go for it! :D

agree the AFM is not something that should be mucked around with

its one of the key sensors the engine uses for engine management

why do you think it rev caps at 2500rpm as a failsafe when the AFM is mangled, failed or unplugged

cos its not safe to run with a mangled one or non-working one

Chinese copy Z32 AFMs are an absolute pain. They don't measure anything like the genuine item and will cost more in tuning time than what its worth

Nistune Z32 AFM forums link

Declan from Garage 7 shows on his website the internal differences of the Z32 AFM copy and changes in mapping here

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
