z32 vs q45 afm's? pro's cons?

[mattysaidso]

heya

looking at upgrades at the moment and an afm is on my list of things to upgrade, lookes at both items(z32/q45) and i have a few questions. after my upgrades i am aiming for approx 320rwhp.

i have heard that the q45 is a beter afm because it provides clearer reading of something like that??? which is the beter afm in tems of tuneablitiy?

is a z32 big enough to handle this power? or is a q45 required?

your comments and advice are appreciated....

cheers!

THe Q45 AFM is 90 mm and the ZA32 is 80 mm (same as the RB20/25 AFM). SO the Z32 will fit up without mods to the plumbing, the Q45 won't. The Q45 will have very low airspeed at idle on a 240 rwkw engine, may make idle control difficult. The Z32 will handle 240 rwkw easily, so why make life difficult for yourself?:cheer:

Z32 is good for 300rwkw.

mine is fine @ 270rwkw so far.

Get a new one for the few extra $$$, Z32's are getting a bit tired. Save problems later on

If they are too expensive, get it from Japan, mine was around $420 or something... possibly a bit more, it was soo long ago i purchased it

Nissan can do but they need a VIN from an actual Z32 to make it easier to find. Can anyone help out in this regard?

[Abo Bob]

Don't worry found it.

$707 with SAU discount.

$463 from Nengun.

Apparently they are a standard bosch part and can be ordered through any Bosch supplier (ie. RicerBarn, SuperCrap, etc).

The Bosch ones are different i think arent they?

i'll check who made my Z32...

I do know the bosch ones are a lot cheaper though

Aren't they the same a turbo VL calais?

[pitchd]

to add to this...

ive just purchased a trust cooler with adaptor plate welded to the inlet end tank with the z32 bolted straight to the inlet... ive been told it provides a more accurate reading on the preasurised side of the turbo (japs tend to do it often)

see how this works out...
