Getting ready to put all my bits I have collected over the last 6 months on -

they include -

RB20 Power FC

GTR 440cc injectors and resistor pack

Stainless Steel exhaust manifold

Maybe GTR cams later on $$ permitting

Due to my turbo being a bit of a mystery (told is was a 2510, but looks to be either 2530/35/40 but due to tag no matching up no one know) All I know is it makes dead on 200rwkw at 0.9bar and comes on boost at about 4-4500rpm

I am hoping for a conservative 220rwkw, running around 18psi boost, maybe 230 with a splash of toluene for dyno days etc

I am usure weather to use the stock AFM, or upgrade to a Z32 unit, as thelast thing I want is to get it all running on the dyno and find out that the AFM is maxed out...........

Whats everyones opinion? I have read post from Sydneykid that says it should be good for 226rwkw

Has anyone else made around that power with the stock AFM, as if its doesn't need replacing, I won't bother!

:D Chris

Yeah was thinking that myself, cheers.

I know Clint made 235rwkw with the RB20 AFM, but I guess with the Z32, there will be more 'resolution' so to speak

so you still have to run the AFM with a PFC then, its a shame you didn't get a ecu that did away with the AFM and kill 2 birds with one buy...good luck with it all..

Well my original plan was to run a Microtech, but I managed to pick up the PFC for a very reasonable price, so I went with that. Wolf3D crossed my mind, but a tuner I spoke to that would be the one having to tune it reckons they where best left alone........

Plus its plug and play, if I get defected etc I can jsut plug the old computer back in and change a few things

I don't think the AFM poses much of a problem/restriction at these type of power levels

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
