More along the lines of I have no idea what your talking about....are you saying AFM's are better than map sensors or the other way around? I notice you describe them as being totally different, but not which would be the better application for my purpose

well they are two different things trying to achieve the same goal. its a matter of using the right tool for the right job. if you want superior "resolution" on the map layer for the ecu then go for airflow meters. if you want "single dimension" tuning then go for map sensors. see what your tuner thinks and then go from there?

the restriction layer that most people refer to on a car as far as airflow meter "diameter" is concerned applies after the turbocharger on a turbo car. moving to map sensors based on "restriction" should not be the case

on an n/a car the "restriction" applies throughout the air intake as it needs as little restriction as there is nothing forcing the air in, other than sea level pressure

OK, so far I have come down to $9,570 worth of parts, all from Nengun including delivery cost (not including labor) and have seprated them into these 3 stages:

Stage 1 -- $1,750

Power FC - APEXI

Remote Oil Filter

Cam Gears - TOMEI Adjustable

Timing Belt - TOMEI

Stage 2 -- $1,758

Injectors - SARD 700CC

Fuel Pump - NISMO

AFM's (might move this to Stage 1 and get a water pump here. But my car doea already have a newish water pump)

Oil Catch Can

Stage 3 -- $6,062

Camshafts - TOMEI (IN260deg / EX260deg / L9.15mm)

Con Rods - TOMEI Forged H-beam

Turbos - Garrett GT2530 (or GT-RS - GTR Turbos?, only an extra $200 to get them delivered from Nengun)

I might get onto X-Speed or Hyperdrive (Perth locals) and ask about tuning the Power FC next year.

you forget the 5-6k needed for the rebuild with forged pistons mate

there is no way you'll crank out 500rwhp on stockers. time in limited

damn, forgot to add the piston work ;), oh well, theres the $16k not including labor then :)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
