2 in and 4 out.

It flies now, it seems to have got rid of my flat spot around 5000rpm which is where the AFM was maxing out. Im very happy at the moment, stay tuned for some dyno numbers but going by feel, i can certainly feel the difference.

Once installed it ran lean as buggery, so i quickly added some fuel everywhere into it via the SAFC. So at the moment its had a quick road tune but its feeling very quick. I will have it on the dyno next week to accurately tune the A/F ratios.

Ok cool, i mite take it with me to the dyno and swap it over so it gets tuned straight away.

The Z32 is larger in size to the standard one too isnt it? That means new pod filter aswell :cheers:

So 2in4out doesn't change the afm's voltage to what the stock item would have been?

Even though you did this it still needed more fuel to be put in?

How did you know it was running lean?

2in tells me is that the safc is receiving (voltage vs airflow) from (2) a Z32 AFM.

4out tells me that the safc is changing (voltage vs airflow) from (2) a Z32 AFM to (4) a RB20/25 AFM.

So theoretically if you select 2in4out you shouldn't have to change any fuel settings as it would be as if it is still running the RB afm (5v limit would still be at the same vs airflow).

I'm about to do this to a S15 (Z32 AFM).. The reason for all the questions. :rofl:

Its called pinging. Ive added some more fuel in and its not pinging any more. A dyno test should give me the correct answers.

Yeh thats what i was thinking

so its the same physcial size as the rb25 afm? sweet :headspin:

Maybe as the standard AFM was maxing out, it wasn't getting the optimum tune at those rpms. Now with the AFM reading, the computer is giving me a decent tune, hence why the 5000rpm flat spot has gone. Im running a HKS 2530 and im seeing some strong results, though i reckon you would gain some benefits with the stock turbo.

The Rb30DET in mine takes until around 13.5:1 before it starts pinging.

Even then at high rpm the knock sensor doesn't pick up pinging, only during lower/mid rev's.

A definate ping can be heard once is hits 14:1, then it fuel cuts.

What I'm getting at is pinging is the last thing you notice when it is leaning out.

Robo, You still didn't really answer my question.

So the AFM reading on the SAFC is definately reading lower with the 2in4out?

Before it may have been hitting say 100% at 5500rpm not it is maybe 80%?!?!?

Just about to go for a test drive, i will let you know about the 100% flow.

Sometimes my SAFC changes to pressure and it takes some fiddling to get it too show Air Flow %.

I really am interested if the safc changes the voltage back to std as it may be quite a bit of a pain in the arse if I fit it to the s15 then find out i can't drive it.

Especially considering the s15 has a 45mm little hole for the afm. :rofl:

It may throw it out quite a lot more.. BUT if the safc does the adjustment and returns the voltage back to normal then it may be ok.

The settings for a S15 is In 05 and out 05. When connecting a Z32 too it, the settings will be IN 02 and out 05.

Car is running very strong. Im running around 17psi with the HKS 2530, SAFC2 and Z32. I have seen a little more on cold nights.

My dyno man is currently getting his dyno recalibrated so hopefully this week i will be able to fine tune the mixtures and maybe see how much boost it can handle.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
