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

Courtesy Paulr33's website:

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.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
