SS8_Gohan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 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) pic of engine bay Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405679-better-intake-options-when-going-to-map-sensor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS8_Gohan Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 No real gains yeah, that's what i was thinking. Means less money i might potentially spend! Be epic and run no pod? 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.

GTSBoy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 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 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ^ 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.

The cops know how to unplug them and see what it does to the way the car runs. 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 ^ well yeah there is that minor issue.

Piggaz Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405679-better-intake-options-when-going-to-map-sensor/#findComment-6462122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1GTR Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405679-better-intake-options-when-going-to-map-sensor/#findComment-6462269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkems Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 "non-functional" afms can be setup as an anolog switch which can throw the car into a simulated limp mode when disconnected Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405679-better-intake-options-when-going-to-map-sensor/#findComment-6462295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
