Fitted it up on Saturday . As you can see in the pics its got 2 x afm . However only 1 was wired up . As i,m running an apexi safc 2 i tried to add enough signal to compensate for the fact that the afm air speed would be 1/2 what it used to . I had to increase signal to nearly max what the safc can put out . HMMM Sooo switched the input signal to the safc to think it was connected to a q45 90mm afm , as i kinda worked out the air flow speed thru a 90mm t/b would be about the same as 2 x 70 mm inlets . IT WORKED . So the setup consiasts of :

2 x 60 mm rb25 throttle bodies

2 x 70 mm rb25 air flow meters ( only one is wired up , the other is left there to have equal restrictions on both inlets )

apexi safc 2 , input signal set at 1 ( q45 infinity afm 99 mm signal)

output signal set at 4 ( rb25 ecu being used )

As a preliminary tune i have put in 20% + at all low throttle settings

27% + at all high throttle settings

So far i,m pretty impressed by the way it drives . Seems more responsive and more torque . At a steady 100 kmh the throttle was 14 % now its only 8 % .

Will take it out to Willowbank drags test and tune soon as i can .

Theres still a few things to tidy up on it but at least its fitted and running well .

awesome to hear that it is up and running, have been following this for a while.

are you planning on shielding/venting the pods? would have to be drawing some pretty warm air as they are now.

thats a temporary setup to get it running .

will be running 2 tubes with 45 degree bends so that pod filters will be behind headlight . shielding , thats a good idea too and will try it too

wow!! does it fit with with a bonnet? you really need to put this on a dyno!!!!

nup , after i took the pic , i went to shut the bonnet found front filter hitting . so put a longer bit of hose on it and sat it lower . also took off the afm thats not wired up .

dyno would be nice

am going to willowbank drags test and tune tommorrow night

are you gonna at least run some sort of a cai or a heat sheild over you extractors? i dont think that nice heat will do you any good.

looks very very interesting, have you done any work to the interneals? high c/r, cams etc???

steve

its rb25de head on rb30e block , using rb25de pistons , gives me 10.5-1 compression . still has stock cams with the vvt hooked up . have an adjustable cam gear on the exhaust cam .Still looking for cams at the elusive bargain price . Head is unmodified apart from port matching manifolds to head .

Yep will be re routing those inlets and shield them .

You may have issues with the VVT and high lift cams at such high compression levels. The timing doesnt have to be that far out for the valves to hit the piston crown in the RB25.

I was playing around yesterday to see how far out the timing has to be before they make contact... not much! And that vwas with standard cams...

sweet shall see out tonight then don.... still got some last minute things to do to mine so im leaving work soon... also have to make a 2 hour round trip to pick the bloody car trailer up....

i feel like an idiot... finished everything off went to fit the front runners and forgot i needed longer wheel studs.... went to the toold box and was 2 long studs short.... so they just arrived then on a one hour courier.... always dramas... gotta through it back together this arvo before i head out.

IT HAPPENS

really looking forward to hearing ,seeing your car run tonight

That's some awesome work you have done there Don! It sounds like you have it running OK now, but I thought I would throw in my 2c that may or may not help.

If you take a look through the SAFC install guide you will see that there is some info on setting up different AFM combos (ie. non factory setups) for both GTR and VG30DETT motors which might help you. The one I'm thinking of is the 2 AFM conversion for the VG, where the 2 AFM voltages are set to be added together before being passed to the ECU. This might be a better way of going about it, as you can use the correct AFM resolution setting (RB25 instead of Q45). Just a thought.

hey mate how did u end up going last night?? sorry i didnt come say hi i wasnt in a very good mood last night, not much went right yesterday and i was keen to just get as many passes down ass i could.. only managed 1 clean full power pass, resulted in a 12.2 still should be more left in it hopefully.

Willowbank drags last night . Best of 14.4 @ 94.5 mph and a 1.96 60 ft . Am i bit dissapointed in those figures . All the more reason to put it on the dyno and get it sorted properly . Spose i shouldnt complain its the best times i,ve got , previous best 14.7 @ 92 mph .

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
