Yes i do. Lol. But i also have lots of cars. This is for my gts4 that i just brought back from the dead. Im running small 550 injectors and using a power fc. I know to make about 500hp using no dyno, but on my other gtrs im aiming for way more than 500hp. But on this car (gts4) i just was wondering if i need to use z32 afm for 22 psi. Thats my goal. Ive done 25 psi on rb25 wit z32 afm and the motor still going to this day. Just need to know if the twin stock r32 afm will handle 22 psi.

Max psi? 10000000000

Air FLOW meters measure flow not pressure. They can read 'x' amount of flow. Need to know what turbos are being used

This is why AFM's are usually talked about in terms of how much power they will handle as air flow is pretty much directly proportional to power. The more air you get in the engine, the more power you can achieve etc etc

The motor is freshly built. All stock other than oil mods and acl race bearings, mls head gasket. I did it all with spare parts around the yard. Doesnt mean i just want to just blow it up. Lol. I will tho. Kml. Im sure ill figure it all out tho mate. Worst case is ill just run twin z32. But was wondering as i have like 12 oem afm for gtr's. Oh internal parts are all new. Not old. :D

Rule of thumb for Air Flow meters RWKW (you will note a single RB25 AFM will measure more than a single GTR AFM)

AFM Max Power at 5v Single RB25 AFM 225rwkw

Single Z32 AFM 350rwkw

Single Q45 AFM 300rwkw

Twin RB26 AFMs 300rwkw

Twin RB25 AFMs 450rwkw

Twin Z32 AFMs 511rwkw

Twin Q45 AFMs 600rwkw

Thanks for that mate. These are in rwkw. Simple conversation. Looks like twin r32 afm will max out but could work, but at there limit. Hmmm. Funny to see that a singal z32 is at 350 figure twin would be at 700 but its at 511 in twin set up. And twin q45 is at 600. Is this wright????

twin rb25 is great for resolution.

twin z32 are generally over kill (unless needed) and in many setups you end up using only 1/2 to 3/4 of the scale and lose tune resolution.

i would much rather the AFM scale be @ 90% max than at 50% max

I started to look at the flow charts for the holset and a gtx35r. Looks like there will be about 15 to 20 LB/Minute difference from about 22 psi.

Im trying to compare it to my r33 gtr thats running twin z32 afm with gtx3582r turbo.

Damn i wish i had a better turbo laying around. :(

Yeah there is actually.

Series one is a 4 pin while series 2 is a 3 pin pink label.

I think Nistune has it listed for an extra 20 HP or so

So the R33GTST S2 has the pink label, and the S1 has the green label, which is also used by the RB20DET and RB25De, just for clarity.

    • 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.
