Gav,

It all depends on the amount of power you want out of the car. MAP sensors are better for high horsepower, but will give you reduced resolution for your A/F mixture. MAF's are good if you have Z32's but even they will run out of resolution on a high horsepower engine.

I run a MAP, but that's because I didn't want the restriction to the airflow, but you can still get 900hp cars running on MAF's. If your buying engine managment then get one that has the option of MAP sensor, but allows for the use of other MAF's.

The six throttle bodies make it more difficult to tune whether you have MAP or MAF, but this is only really a problem on high horsepower cars, which will often use a large single throttle body, not something I'd worry about until you hit 400rwhp.

Thanks for the comments

Probably belongs in another thread, but the reason I was asking is that I am considering using one of the new Wolf 3D P&P ECUs for my GTR.

From the specs that I have read, this can only use the internal MAP sensor that comes with the unit. The Wolf, however, seems like pretty good value and should have all the functionality that I need.

I am very familiar with the PFC from my previous S15 and got some good gains by fitting an RB25 AFM on the SR20 motor.

I would have no problems with using a PFC and 2 x Z32 AFMs on the GTR, however I really would like air intake temp. correction for Perth's hot summer days!

By the time you get the PFC, Commander, 2 x AFMs and Data-Logit (if you want to log runs/ load alternative maps) you are just about into Motec territory for cost!

Hi Gav,

I am in Perth and have the Wolf 3D Ver4 P'n'P in my car, I run the map sensor but am sure that you can leave the factory AFM in if you want, don't know if it supports the Z32's though. You can still have the temperature compensation even without the AFM.

I heard from Steve at SST, who fitted my Wolf, that the new P'n'P for the GTR may contain 4WD control functionality, do you know if this is true?

Good luck with making a decision, it's not an easy one to make.

See'ya:burnout:

P.S. I am very happy with my Wolf.

Almost certainly will get Steve to do the Wolf install for me.

Glad to hear that you are happy with the work you had done.

Can't imagine how the ECU would control 4WD functionality as it would need to interact with the ATESSA computer. Still, will let you know what is possible when I get this done in a few weeks.

Cheers

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
