hi all,

so i have a power fc for my s15, im looking into the R35 GTR MAF. i know there are more modern computers out there, but this is what i have and i would rather make this work.

so i have been reading heaps about the R35 maf's and their capabilities, they are cheaper then the z32's and more responsive suposably.

there is also this option

http://www.pmas-maf.com/mass-air-sensors.php

i see a few people have dabbled with the r35 and the HPX, but i cant seem to find any data for the R35 MAF.

the hpx website supplies flow rates vs voltages.

there is also nistune who put up this

http://forum.nistune.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2428

however it would seem that the HPX will support a much higher HP number then the r35.

myself personally would prefter the r35 maf to support a smaller turbo with streetablilty.

does anyone know how to scale the power fc (FC DATALOGIT) air flow readings?

and or convert from lbs/min to PFC data?

and

R35 MAF flowrates to PFC Data...

Cheers,

scott

what i reallly need after all that is the following data for the R35 GTR MAF,

voltage vs flow

i cant find that info anywhere !!!

if i can get that, i can get a close scale to put it into the PFC, i have found the nissan polynominal to make adjustments, and then fine tune to suit my car once in there. but just need the data first up.

even resistance / voltage woul dbe a good start to work it backwards with interpolation to the stock afm.

there is a lot of talk about it on forums, but actual hard data is a mission to come by for this MAF.

Cheer.s

my bad.... still a bit of a steep learning curve here.

but with some form of units of data ya can interpolate it.

the HPX gives lbs/min flow vs voltage.

idealy that would be awesome to get from the R35 GTR MAF....

if anyone out there has it?

Nistune has VQ maps for all the AFMs in the installation (OK, probably actually in the ROM Pack, but no matter). You can install Nistune and look at the Z32 one, noting down the VQ maps, then you could do the same with the R35 AFM VQ map. You could even load up a map for a Z32 VG30DET then use the software to do a change to the R35 AFm and not the changes that it makes to the k value and so on. That would instruct you quite well on the relativity between them.. If you couldn't parley that data into a useful starting VQ for your PFC I'd be very surprised.

f**king legend !

i was going to install nistune tonight and have a poke around at a whimb to see if it would have any data i could use.

thanks for clearing that up!

that will be a good start,

and to be honest, that will most probably be pretty close!

then a tune of the fuel map to clean it up.

cheers

The VQ AFM's are very similar to the R35 ones, and can be had very cheap these days. If there is data around for them they would be a no brainer over the Z32.

VQ afm????

Voltage Quantifier (VQ) ???

i will have hte data conversion from the r35 later with any luck.

the R35 are about 90 odd $ then an adaptor welded to a pipe and voila!

so the question is, where did you find the Flow table vs voltage to tune the thing?

so i have interpolated with averages between nistune and apexi.

fark... its rough as guts, but it could be a start...

iv contacted apexi to see if they have any data i can use.

;) ya onto it now.

yep im tuning it my self.

hence why im trying to get as much data as i can ;)...

and yes your right. once the curve is pretty right with respects to resolution. you can fix up the fuel map to suit the needs of the tune.

the tuning side isnt the concern, just the R35 afm data is lol!

ok so since we last spoke sau...

i bought an official APEXi kit, from streeter who was very helpful as always..

it comes with the flow data to punch into the pfc for maf calibration,

how i interpolated the nistune data, was obviously incorrect....

you can see my the graph attached the r35gtr right and left banks is my interpolation of the nistune data.

unfortunatley i f**ked that up somewhere. and its always easier to get data from someone who has actually tested and aquired it.

so i decided to go this route for something different, its cost is a bit cheaper than a Z32, and i wont be aiming for anything near 300rwkw (about what hte z32 can handle on a sr apparantly - no idea. never tried or seen)

so thought id throw this up for the benefit on anyone else going down this path with a power fc..

cheers.

A bit old, but still the most informative bit of info I have come across when it comes to calibrating the R35 MAF.  

But, still not enough I think.  

I have a power fc, datalogit, and am hoping to throw a R35 MAF onto my RB25 R32.  There are many more options for R35 MAF adapaters now and the aforementioned APEXi kit is pretty ugly.  Someone is selling the MAF data separately on yahoo auctions, but if I can enter the info myself it would be helpful. 

Does anyone have any ideas of how to enter the above graph info numerically into the power fc?

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
