hmmm.

well i just had my emanage fitted. and the tuner said that the airflow meter is maxed out at 180rwkw at 12psi??

i know my brother using the exactly the same afm on his r33 was pulling around that 200-220rwkw mark with pfc.

the tuner said that i will need z32 afm as mine is maxing out at the moment at 5volts?? he is saying that the ecu is not liking any more than that?

its got me F**ked i wonder why. I need some expert answers ;P??????????????????????????????????

could the greddy emanage be running a different current to the afm than the pfc?

Why not consider the extra map sensor plugin harness for the emanage.

It will read boost pressure off the map sensor once the afm maxes out.

Just a thought.

yeah i was looking at that on mohd parts. thankyou most helpful. i wasnt 100% sure what it did.

How does that help?

The boost controller should be ensuring that the boost stays constant, especially at the sort of rpm the AFM is going to be maxing out at. So the MAP sensor shouldn't see any differences in the pressure. That means there is no variation in the load signal to cause the load mapping reference to move. So all you get is RPM mapping reference changes, which is what you would get with a maxed out AFM anyway.

The only time you really need an AFM upgrade is when unanticipateable changes in airflow occur, ie; not linear with rpm changes. At high rpm (ie; past boost build and camshaft timing effects) this shouldn't be an issue. The fuel and ignition requirements are satisfactorily driven off the rpm change.

That's why I don't change the AFM's until it is necessary because of tuning requirements, and reaching 5.1 volts at 6,000 rpm in an RB25DET is not one of those. It would seem that RacePace have a similar philosophy.

:D cheers :(

Yeah your right.

But with regards to the original question, i was under the impression he wanted to run more boost then what he had, which would require someway of the ecu knowing that the extra boost is being run.

It's not the amount of boost, but the change in boost that the ECU would need to make use of for mapping purposes. MAP sensors are usefull when boost is building or decaying. But when the pressure stays the same for periods of RPM change they are not much use at all. You still have to use the RPM axis to determin the fuel mapping.

:huh: cheers :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
