sorry to be like this but your wrong

15 years as an instrument tech

the afms meter works on air speed (cooling) so as long as you keep it near the centre of the pipe it will work fine. There nothing special about the z32 afm meter and if your running a pfc you can install a custom ramp graph for the afm meter and will not even need to adjust the maps(spark and fuel). Good to see someone willing to try some thing and not just be a sheep.

So in your 15 years did you ever stop to think that maybe if you change the diameter of the MAF housing that you would change the air speed of the incoming air; hence changing the cooling affect.

It seems you have missed the point I was trying to make. If you increase or decrease the diameter of the MAF then you must readjust (usually within the MAF transfer table) the voltage to airflow charcteristics.

CEF11E has sombody who can tune it for him cheap, so I would say go for it, he's got nothing to lose. However I wouldn't suggest this modification to anybody who isn't in the position of buring up 5hours of dyno time to get it to the same level as a z32 MAF. Also the standard computer has a higher resolution MAF calibration table compared to the PFC which will make it more bearable than the PFC

yes the range will change THATS THE WHOLE POINT of the exercise

but you stated that the idle and resulting functional characteristics would be of poor standard which not true at all, the afm meter will work fine and will take no longer to tune that fitting a z32afm plus you'll have a less resistive intake system.

if your tuner takes 5 hours to tune a different afm you need to find a different tuner who knows what there doing. Physics dont change , the air flow characteristics in a 80mm pipe will be the same as a 90mm just of a different range.

    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
