It is possible to tune an AFM based on grams/s vs voltage (MASS transfer function).  I do it all the time when dickheads pull the mesh off the GENIII MAF sensor - thats got to be worth at least 25rwkw's!!!!!!!!

Rob, when you say you tune an AFM on grams/s vs voltage what do you mean? I understand how hotwire/Karman Vortex/MAP sensors work, but how are you doing this?

Cheers

Matt

P.S. You should know that the mesh holds up the airflow!! :D:)

Have you entered the drag day yet? I believe there's only one spot left if you haven't...

I'm curious to see how your car runs. I'm also going down the GT30 route and should have it complete for the drag day, so it'll be interesting to compare how our car's perform :P

I haven't started work on my car yet as I'm still trying to decide on where to get the work done...just need to speak to a few more people first before I make a decision (should know by the end of the week). I've basically already got everything to support the power I'm chasing either on the car or in my garage ready to go (other than turbo, manifold, wastegate...and possibly cams?), so it should hopefully be a fairly straight forward process once I get the ball rolling so to speak.

Can I ask what size turbine housing did you go for? I'm guessing 0.82...

I'll be using the same and I'm expect to start seeing boost around 3500rpm.

Also, which GT30 have you used?

i.e Is it one of the HPinabox 500hp turbos or one of the GT3040R 600hp turbos from GCG for example.

Either way, i'd definately be interested to hear about your results, so let us know how you go once you've got it all completed and tuned.

Good luck with it.

BTW, I think you may have missed the boat with the drag day...I think it's full up now (unless you got the last spot).

If you're keen, I'd be getting your name on the reserve list asap, as there's always 1 or 2 people that may pull out before the day.

yeh i know i just pm'd for a spot but i dunno, i can still enter at wsid, but i wanted to go to the sau drag meet, just to compare my car with other lines.

and yeh i did go for the 0.82 rear, and i got my turbo from japan, its directly from garrett, its a garrett GT30R turbo... my mate who did the work for me works for MRT, and if u like i can get u a quote from him for labor if u have all the parts like wat i did? all it cost me was labor and any extra parts....

Mate,

I am in the same boat. I installed my GT30 about 2 weeks ago and since then I have been cruzing around at 1/4 trottle as it's not been tuned yet... Its so hard not to give her a skirt <_<

I have put the foot down once or twise but the knock goes through the roof so I must show self restraint...

2 weeks to go for me, I reakon it would be easier if I just dopped the car off at the tuners now and ride to work for the 2 weeks :D

yeh i know, i cant wait man, its so close but it feels like i have to wait ages... few more days now...

yeh, i had that feeling about 2 weeks ago also, but the diff for me was my car had a shit load of stuff changed at the same time, so i could never drive it, once i get it tuned ill be ripping up the streets a few times, my neighbors are going to hate me...LOL

Hi Guys, keep all of us informed. It will be good to see the results. I dropped my 1995 GTS-T M-Spec (series 2 engine) at Racepace here in Vic last Saturday. I too got a new Garrett GT30 (550hp) with a HKS ext. gate, &a new HKS cast manifold, Apexi PowerFC, Nismo 550cc injectors, Z32 AFM, Splitfire coilpack & a Apexi AVC-R.

I previously had my engine (rebuilt with Mahl forged pistons, GTR rods & all the other gear etc...) dynoed at 212.9 rwkw@14psi using the std turbo, AFM, injectors, coils etc... using a Apexi SAFC 2, Apexi GT spec FMIC, K&N induction (big oval pod etc..) & a external Bosch 044 pump with surge tank.

Have you guys thought about a oil cooler with relocation kit? I am installing mine when I get the car back, as it will save some money this way & your engine.

I dont think that I need a oil cooler as my car has never seen the track and wont for awhile. On the street it only gets hammered here and there. However the re-location of the oil filter would be handy but not handy enough to justify the dollars.

yeh i agree, my car wont be seeing the track either, im going to focus on making it less laggy, maybe chuck in a new intake plenum and work on the cams, and i guess that would it.. when i get bored of this i will prob sell it and get a GTR, thats my ultimate goal, an R33 GTR!

but for now i think being 20 and having a series II with the mods that it has, and being stuck at uni, and not owing any money for it i guess i should be happy.

Hey guys one question.

You're using a 550hp (approx) turbo and only aiming for about 250rwkw? Won't this be running the turbo quite a bit below its' efficiency range?

If you wanted 250rwkw, wouldn't a GT-RS have been a better option due to the fact that it will be far more responsive?

A 550hp turbo should be good for towards 300rwkw.

yeh that is true, but a GT-RS will set u back a lot more then a GT30R, also i am aiming at around 300rwkw, but money is a factor at the moment, as i dont have the $$$ to spend on the engine as yet, also the drive train mods required to achieve a reliable 300rwkw....

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
