Guys who have done this before, what do u do??

If when running a Power FC u hit the 5.1volt AFM max reading??

DO u replace it with a Z32 or what??

When does it hit 5.1 volts? And does it stay there for long?

Hitting 5.1 volts at 7,000 rpm is not a big problem, while hitting it at 4,000 rpm and it staying there all the way to 7,500 rpm is a big problem. :(

yeap swap to z32 and it will give you more headroom

if you max out the afm near the very top say for example 6500rpm, then you can tune the 5v signal to be spot on for 7500, and just have a rich spot from 6500 to around 7400

just to avoid a lean mixture and detonation up top

i personally would just get bigger afm though

It doesn't matter what the signal says...

Power FC uses Load vs. RPM on the map, when the AFM is maxed out the load value will not increase but the rpm will be mapped out to 9,200rpm or whatever so you can still tune it properly. No need to richen it up more than usual.

I can't think of many situations where you would use part throttle at 7,000rpm+ and even if the actual load was lower than the real load you would be putting in more fuel anyway so effectively it would go rich because it was pumping in fuel as if it was at WOT until the AFM starts to read real values again.

I go through 7,000 rpm a lot of times when not on full throttle, everytime I change gear for a start. Then driving though corners holding it on the throttle, not the best time for a cough. GTST's don't have inlet air temp compensation, so my best friend when it gets very hot or very cold is the AFM. The inlet air temp change alters the AFM readings, as it measures the air flow and therefore the air density.

Personally, if it hits max voltage at 4,500 rpm, then I reckon it's time for a Z32 AFM. :P

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
