What method did you use to fit the AFM in the pipe?

I'm guessing you used the same ID pipe as the original ID of the AFM?

Yes, I made a simple flat plate flange out of stainless steel and welded a bit of 76mm pipe to the inlet side and then used silicon pipe to connect it up to the rest of the 76mm custom intercooler pipework. I've used a GReddy E-manage to handle all the fuelling changes.

u can just buy an adapter plate to fit on to the afm. gtskoop im running an rb25det.if you want ill post pics of my engine bay on here.

Thanks mate, im goin away soon and wont b checkin my emails 4 a while so when i get back, i'd definatly appreciate some pics of ur bay... so yeah, i'll PM ya :)

I have done this a couple of times on RB20's and 25's and all I will say is that it makes a HUGE difference to the tune... As far as reliability for the AFM I haven't seen any specific problems, but it only makes sense that the pressurised warmer air with slight oil from the turbo would decrease the life of the AFM... but seeing as most of them are ok after 10 years, if it halfs the life to 5 years??

I run a Z32 AFM after the cooler on my CA, mainly cause there's a 4" bellmouth on the turbo and space is restrictive so it had to be after the cooler.. seems to work really well with no immediate reliabilty probs...

Dr_Drift,

Can you elaborate why it has made a difference to the tune? Differnece in tuning with just SAFC or a Full E-Manage type system? More accurate A/F ratios? More increaed in power? Ease of tune?...

Done it to a few big hp cars with large turbo's to stop the air reversion problem which plays hell with the AFM causing hunting as it comes back to idle.

We did one in particular on a car that already had been tuned by us using one of the famous ( infamous ?? ) Lumpyroms.

All I can tell you is when we changed it to post intercooler, it ran totally different and required virtually complete retuning.

And yes it was an RB25DET and yes we did chip the Nissan computer that plugs in to the factory wiring plug and no it wasn't an RB25 computer :( :(

Cheers

i run blowthru maf on my car as ive got limited space for maf mounting near the turbo inlet (turbo inlet is 4").

so far its been good to me, but as stated before it can require retuning as mine required me to fiddle with the ecu's k consant to get it to run right (rechipped ecu).

as far as pipe work ive got 2.5" charge piping and use adaptors from 2.5 --> 3 to go to and from the maf and havent had any problems thus far.

however i have blown the little plastic square cover off of the maf which then in turn caused a massive boost leak, but after a thourough cleaning and a stern resilliconing it hasnt leaked again and actualy spools faster :).

this is actualy on a rb20det swapped into a s14 chassis currently making 288rwkw's before tuning......

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
