Q45 AFM is bigger in physical size...hence it will not bolt straight up to your standard airbox (assuming you are still running it) without modification. If you're running a pod, you will require a different AFM adaptor than the item which is suited to a Z32/standard AFM.

Q45 AFM will work fine. All the heresay that people post about regarding idling/tuning issues is misguided. I personally am running one on my RB30DET and had no issues with idle or tuning whatsoever. I know of several other examples on RB25/RB30's with similar setups and no issues.

If it were me, and I wasn't going after spastic power (350+ RWKW from a single AFM setup) then I would go a Z32. Simple boltup and retune to get it to work.

z32 maxxes out at slightly more power than a q45 anyway

if you can get a z32 it'll be better but if you run out of time the q45 should be fine, will just be a little harder to bolt up as said.

Yeh some people said this to me but then others said Q45 AFM maxes out at higher power levels blink.gif

I didn't know which way to go, but a Q45 came up at a price I couldn't say no to. Guess that's the main thing that it comes down to. Price.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
