Dont know if anybody has done this on an rb25de . I now have most of the parts to make up a 2 x tb and 2 x afm setup . just waiting on a s/h manifold to arrive . Am going to cut off the side off the plenum where the single TB is , then weld on a 12 mm plate and mount the 2 x TBs on it . Then install seperate tubes to each of the AFMs . Electrically hooking up thru the apexi safc 2 which has provision for 2 x AFMs then converts signals back to a single feed signal to the ecu . Will keep you posted on progress .

presently i,m running a 68 mm tb , and its on a rb30de .

less restriction, rb twin cam heads flow very very standard, what holds them up as with any NA engine is the ability to breath through the exhaust and intake system.

Very interested to see how this goes.. keep us posted

Sounds like a very good idea Don, are you going to do a dyno run before all this (would be keen to see your RB30DE results) as well as the changes the twin throttle bodies would make.

Eug

no wont be doing a dyno before , i use the test and tune nights at the drags to see how its running ( best 14.7 @ 93 mph ) . but i may put it on the dyno to get it fine tuned after i do the mods .

also waiting on an adjustable exhaust cam gear to fit as well , and still got to fit the 4.11 locked diff .

any reason for that Don? safc?

well this is the way i understand it .

with 2 x afm the output signals of the afms would be 1/2 that of just 1 x afm

the safc can accept 2 x input signals , then sends out 1 signal which is just an average of the 2 x inputs not adds them together .. so i still end up with just half the normal signal . the ecu would send the ammount of fuel to suit that signal , not enough .

sounds logical.

Did you paint the the plenum with something?

i see... that changes things a bit. are you opting for a larger diametre single pipe before the Y piece? what type of afm are you intending to use?

is this the case for gtr's? can anyone else shed some light on this.

its great to see you doing something different don, keep us posted!

hey. for the SAFC cant you tune it to run +or- 50% less/more fuel? so there for you should be able to tune it to run with more fuel to cater for the increased airflow? just hook it up to one afm and run 50% more fuel?

i can see the logical part of the thinkin that you will end up with half the signal of 1 AFM. there must be away around it either using resistors or somthing similar. otherwise just go for a aftermarket computer.

very nice work tho.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
