I've just done a full engine rebuild on my R32 GTR (almost run in now) and I'm planning on taking it to the next level. I have the following bits ready to install

PCF + HC

Tomei Adj CAM gears in/out

HKS 550cc injectors

I've just picked up a pair of RB25 AFMs (herd they were a cheap upgrade) and I was wondering if ....

the PFC has a setting for these

can I swap them for the std AFMs before fitting the PFC

Anyone know where I can get a piping kit for these to suit my GTR - I have pods (Ms I think) can I keep those and just swap the pipe between the pod filter and the AFM

will I also need to swap out the hose between the AFM and the turbo (flexible ?)

Yes the power fc has a setting for the rb25 afm's. i highly doubt that you would be able to buy a bolt on intake kit to suit though, you will probably have to get something made up and there is no reason why you couldnt use your current pods but due to the larger diameter of the afm's they probably wouldnt be big enough. As for fitting them before the power fc, i dont think it would be overly wise due to the standard computer not being tuned to suit, i personally would wait untill i got the ecu in. Ive heard that the rb25 afm isnt all that good on a rb26 due to the fact that they cant hanlde as much air up in the higher revs and the calibration is slightly different. I personally would (and have) opt for a pair of z32 afm's. I hope that helps you out a little.

I dont believe the stock ecu will support them. If you have the new powerfc, then option 4 under airflow setting lets you use twin rb25 afms. Im not sure what the value is for the older powerfc (as in the one that came seperate with the hand controller).

The newer powerfc supports:

Option 1: BNR33 Normal

Option 2: BNR32 Normal

Option 3: Power Intake

Option 4: 80(squiggle O) RB25 Air-F (twin rb25 afms)

Option 5: 80(squiggle O) VG30 Air-F (twin z32s afms)

Rule of thumb for Air Flow meters RWKW & Engine BHP

------ ---- OD ---- RWKW ---- RWKW ---- BHP ------ BHP

No of AFM's ---- ------- 1 -------- 2 -------- 1 -------- 2

RB26 ------ 65 ------ 149 ------ 299 ------ 271 ------ 474

RB20/25 --- 80 ------ 226 ------ 453 ------ 376 ------ 683

Z32 ------- 80 ------ 255 ------ 511 ------ 415 ------ 763

Q45 ------- 90 ------ 302 ------ 605 ------ 479 ------ 890

rb25 afm's on mine with the PFC and 2530's . Car did run with rb25 afm's straight up but not well and was tilt trayed to the tuner . If your only looking for 300rwkw then they will have plently of headroom . pnblight on these forums only maxed his out at close to 500rwhp on his 33 GTR .

very good work - RB25's will be fine for me - target is only 280-300rwkw

Mate, I managed to get 297rwkw with my standard GT-R a/f meters, I have RB25 a/f as well but could not put them on yet because of the same reason you do i.e. piping and pods do not fit.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
