Hey guys,

I'm about to get some intercooler piping made up for my r33 rb25det and just want to confirm some things.

Because I have fitted a forward facing plenum and new turbo I'm planning on shifting the afm to the piping ( throttle body side) and will also have on that same piping from the intercooler to the throttle body the BOV, spot for water meth injection and a spot for the ACC valve from the plenum. Things will be tight so not sure as yet if the AFM will definitely be relocated but that's the plan. However I need to confirm what order these 4 things go in and the spacing. At the moment I think it would go in this order (being closest to throttle body first and close the intercooler last): water meth (80mm from TB), ACC (100mm from TB), BOV (200-300mm from TB), AFM (close to intercooler as possible).

If this is not correct please let me know. Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

That would not be correct. You would want the AFM to be downstream of the BOV. Otherwise, with the arrangement you've listed, your AFM will register the flow of air through the BOV as the turbo-intercooler volume vents through the AFM towards the BOV (and then probably measure it again as it goes around again, and maybe again!).

I hope you've got a programmable ECU or it's going to be a world of pain with the AFM in the pipework otherwise.

That makes sense that the AFM should be on the throttle body side of the BOV adaptor..

Yeah I have a PFC. Doesn't make a difference if the BOV was plumb back or athmospheric does it?

So the original way is correct if its to atmo? Being BOV throttle body side of AFM?

Air that is lost to atmo that has been measured by the afm already can be tuned to compensate?

No, when I said "the above arrangement", I meant the arrangement immediately above, not the arrangement most above. That's a standard form for referencing such things.

To specifically answer your question, you do not want to vent any air, ever, that has passed through the AFM to any other position than downstream of the AFM. To phrase that another way, if the BOV is downstream the AFM, then the return must also be downstream the AFM. If you vent it out to atmosphere after the AFM, the ECU sees it as air that needs fuel and you get rich shenanigans.

intercooler > afm > bov (vent to atmo or turbo intake) > WMI > throttle body

I dont think it will matter so much with the afm that close to the throttle body cause it will re-read any incoming air...there is not enough caught up in intake piping between AFM and TB to make a difference..its probably easier to just have an atmo bov...

not sure i liek the idea of the WMI and AFM being so close together though...any reason you cant leave the AFM in fornt of the turbo?

Just want the Afm in the piping so I don't have to put a restrictor on the turbo intake. Even though it would effect it bugger all I think it'd look a little clear being the same size all the way to the filter.

Would it be easiest to just have the AFM throttle body side of cooler and have BOV turbo side and vent it back to intake piping?

Has anyone placed the BOV turbo side? I figure it would be ok if it was venting atmo cause it would be disposing hot air and if it were plumb back would be better on the cold side to recirculate the cold air back

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
