Better Intake Options When Going To Map Sensor?

[SS8_Gohan]

just organising some AFM delete pipes for my R, but was wondering if there is a less restrictive way of planning the intake from the pods now that i don't have to run the AFM's? ie, do you have more flexibility to do something 'better' with the intake piping? or is there no real gains there? (i'm thinking there isn't really anything there worth the hassle, but thought i'd ask anyway)

No real gains

[Manuel Kasko]

Be epic and run no pod?

I can finally say this back to stock and gut afm's

[SS8_Gohan]

No real gains

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Means less money i might potentially spend!

hahaha, you first

I can finally say this back to stock and gut afm's

yeah, now that i think about it, that's probably the best option isn't it. Buy dead afm's or cheap stockies, and gut them... what would stock GTR AFM's cost? $50? oh well.

There's not a lot of point in having non-functional AFMs installed. The cops know how to unplug them and see what it does to the way the car runs.

[R31Nismoid]

^ well yeah there is that minor issue.

You can get stuffed stock ones for less than $50 surely Dan

I think I might even have one lying around in my apartment... Infact i might have two, i'll have a look.

not really thinking about it from that point of view, was purely thinking about it from a $$ pov, delete pipes made vs gutted standard AFM's - i think AFM's would be the last of the problems with the boys in blue. You'd be unlucky to have a cop know about unplugging and running the car from what i've heard *touch wood*, but then again, it is Victoria

dude, if you have them lying around and don't want them, i'd be happy to take them off your hands. Never hurts to have a collection of stock parts

[R31Nismoid]

I'll let ya know when i go for a cleanup on the w/e (if do have em, they will be stuffed ones 100%)

Here is a little intake mod you can do Dan. It's a little bit more dicking around though.

Rear turbo intake pipe

Here you can see the inside of a standard one. Note the "Hump"

Modified one. Doesnt look pretty but thats just the flash doing it's thing.

Front standard pipe with the modified one from the outside.

Standard vs modified internally. Note the lack of "Hump"

It definately can't hurt. The rear one comes in a fair way, reducing from the 2 inch pipe to a '1.7ish' at its smallest point.

Don't have back to back's as the modified set is going on my engine..... when it comes

[BLITZ-26]

Cops playing with your afms ? well the issue there is they arnt suppoed to touch the car let alone unpluging parts off it !!!

[GTSBoy]

Happens.

That hump is not there by accident. Would definitely be to condition the flow in some desirable way.

[Piggaz]

It's there so you can slide the bolt in.

In Victoria, state in discussion, you get pulled up at a random station (Pol/EPA) - they most certainly they can.

Would be the same in NSW as the EPA are now taking quite a foot hold the same as Vic from what friends of mine have been saying of late.

Oh I see. Hence all the mods on the outside too. Weld up and grind. Fair enough.

Just don't be a 'brother' and hangout/do skidzzzzz/be a tool/eat kababs in the 'known' hotspots and you should be ok.

[N1GTR]

Lol, yeah like around your place

[N1GTR]

Something constructive; Dan have a look at how big the turbo inlet is vs the width of the AFM

I've had mine in there since buying the car in 2005 and they've been cosmetic since about a fortnight after purchasing it. Those AFM delete pipes from HKS are a rip but what's worse is they really don't look stock IMO which defeats the purpose. If you put the stock air box back with a good filter and intake you'd be looking more stock again and that won't be a restriction either

"non-functional" afms can be setup as an anolog switch which can throw the car into a simulated limp mode when disconnected
