Have you read the thread? I'm struggling to understand why you'd ask that given the half a dozen posts so far...

All the replies clearly say you won't MAKE extra power, torque, or BOV noises swapping the AFM.

sorry just trying to figure out at what point the 20cells for example max out, say for example if the 20cells span from idle accross to 225kw and your making 250kw's, then i was wondering if the z32 then becomes better for tuning and better graph, or do you somehow guess what the voltage would be or somting, my knowledge is lacking here so thats why im asking.

your getting mixxed up. the ecu simply reads the afm voltage and uses this to determine load and therefore the correct amount of fuel and timing. all nissan AFM's max out at 5.1v, but they dont flow the same amount of air at 5.1v. the standard rb25 afm's hit 5.1v at around 200-240rwkw, depending on the car, and run out of resolution, the car can still make more power but having the afm maxxed out makes tuning above that rough and dangerous. a z32 afm is simply calibrated differently and flows more air before maxxing out, which allows the ecu to accurately measure load up to a higher power level.

the afm does not max out at the same point as the ecu's load cells, in the power fc example i gave the standard afm would max out around p15 or p16, just over half the load of the last load point of the map. the ecu uses the afm to determine load then uses the map (load vs rpm) to determine fuel and timing, they're seperate things.

thanks thats the answer i was looking for, good info..:no:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
