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.

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
