Your kidding right.......please put down the crack pipe, now when you sober up you need to realise that power gains in a Na motor are all about head work, and I hope you have deep pockets to pull power out of a 20de

Would love to turbo it being a gtst with an na motor in it but sadly still on ps, the car goes alright pulls hard on other na rb20s and even 25s bit confused about why people think they are that bad, just lacks a bit of bottom end needs clutch kick to get going power comes at 4.5krpm is there anything I can do for bit of bottom end power

Lol didn't think a question would hurt so much, now if it Doesn't hurt to ask what head work would be good I'm not expecting too much out of it just looking for a little more power

It's hurting because the question is just.....so......retarted it's hard to even read, an AFM simply reads and tells the ecu how much air is flowing into the engine, hence the name air flow meter, your question lines up the same as if you asked us if you put a new water temp gauge in would it reduce your water temp.....

Now to increase power in an NA there is a whole dedicated thread on it, and no I don't think you will ever hit power figures that will require an AFM change.

Dude, seriously. What do you think you will gain from putting an aftermarket AIR FLOW METER, a METER!! on youre n/a. Far out, I cannot understand or imagine how your brain must function

Z32 AFM is a standard Nissan item....they come from the z32 300zx

There is so much hatred for Na's I dident think the afm was a good idea just going by what people are telling me an thought I would ask first, all that needed to be said was a simple no,instead all I get is people being a smart arse about it and tell me to turbo it and ask if im on drugs,if I wasent a

PPlater believe me I would not go near a pos na

Whoever told you a z32 is an upgrade for a 20de needs to stop giving advise because they are stupid, and AFM upgrade is only needed when you have exceeded the current AFM's ability to read the amount of air going into the engine. Don't waste your money increasing power in the 20de because it would be so minor you wouldn't even notice a difference until you spent over 2 or 3 THOUSAND dollars.

For example : extractors and exhaust, properly setup cold air intake, coolant bypasses, bigger throttle body.... All those will cost you about $500 all up and you won't even notice a difference, will just sound different, to get better power you will need head porting and polishing, head shaving, oversize valves, cams, cam gears and then a tune, and thats just a few of the things needed and all up will cost around $3000.

Don't waste your money, build a spastic turbo motor over your p-plate years and have fun when you can drop a real engine in.

There is no hatred for N/A's. There is hatred for stupid questions. You need to stop listening to those people. The best way to get more power out of an engine is through forced induction, hence the turbo suggestion.

What I suggest you do is spend money on maintaining you car, forget about gaining more power. You can put a pod filter on your car and you gain 0 kW, but get pulled over and defected. What's the point? You're a P-plater in a Skyline. Keep the car as is, service it regularly, fix tyres, brakes, suspension, etc. Once you're off the P's, put a turbo motor in. All the money you saved from not buying extractors, exhaust, pod filter, Z32 AFM, ECU and tune you can easily go and buy a good RB25DET.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
