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

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
