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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
