what car what mods what engine???

the mass airflow meter converts the amount of air drawn into the engine into voltage signal . The ECU needs to know int6ake air volume to calculate engine load, this is necessary to determine how much fuel to inject into the cylinder.

this means that when the AFM runs out of scope there is no more fuel injected into the cylinder than there would be at full throttle so when the air flow meter reads full load its supplying the max amount of fuel so if the AFM cant read anymore air coming in it can not suplly the fuel for it to ignight so you basically run out of puff

so what you will feel is nothing just wont make any more power

but if the car is unmoddified you will never reach this point

people if this is incorrect please let me know this is my understanding of the opperation

of the AFM

with the Q45 there is no way with those mods that you are maxing out your AFM get oyur car to a tuner and on the dyno and get your fuel and ignition checked and get them to test the AFM voltage and see if its reading correctly

yeah 5.0 volts is the max, or dead on. if its only a temporary max out its probably ok

but if its maxing out at like 3500 and stays at 5 volts the hole time then its a problem.

if its juts for quick second or two its no big drama. the ecu just wont see any more increase in airflow so more air is coming in than the airflow meter can measure

it doesnt feel like anything really. im maxing mine out, ive just got afm max warning turned off (flashes the engine light). im still on stock rb25 afm

well if you have datalogit why not do a 0 to redline run (on a private road of course) in 3rd or 4th and then look at the datalog report, from there you should be able to see what goes spastic past 5000

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
