So my car is gettin closer, has been nothing but troubles from go, but the turbo is on lines oil and water are connected 50mm wastegate is on, AFM's with twin entry dreaming.

I rang many places stocking HKS and Greddy who do a 2 into 1 for the inlet to join the afms, got the massive run around from most places and even told I had to buy the 8g kit from hks to get the inlet pipe. It would have been a simple 40degree 100mm into two 70mm from turbo to the twin afms, but simple as it might sound requires alot of man hours to fab.

So ive opted for a plug in computer, wont go Fcon due to tuning costs but I have been told that apexi do a De-Jetro with map sensors to remove the afms.

Apexi Power FC reliable?

Apexi power fc tuning capabilities? i have read alot of stuff brought out by apexi but I need to know from people who have experience with the power fc.

Map sensors instead of Afms a good idea?

anyone with a gtr with a single and a dejetro? what sort of kws am i lookin at? (standard motor 650cc injectors adj cam gears, 700hp gt35r twin bb)

My 20 cents.....

Use a standard Power FC.

Run a single Q45 AFM

Parrellel the wiring, run the 2 X AFM connections to the 1 X Q45 AFM

The Power FC will see 2 X AFM's both at exactly the same voltage

Tune as per normal

:P cheers :D

would the air flow be sufficient with a single 300zx meter?

When I have the money I will be installing an rb30 bottom end with all the goodies, so i have to consider mapping abilities and air flow for this much higher horsepower setup.

Are you saying that the de-jetro is no good or not as safe as afms? I can get the whole setup with the extra loom and map sensors for 100 dollars more than a standard power fc.

There's more than 1 way to skin a cat (or at least measure engine load). Go for a drive in a D-Jetro equiped GT-R and quizz the owner of aspects that really worry you (cold start, idle, throttle response, economy or whatever) and make up your own mind.

Well yes of course it reads different to the GTR one, thats the point.

The PowerFC has calibration built in for the stock AFMs, Z32s and Q45's.

The Q45 is 3.15" opening diameter and around 3.5" outside diameter

ahh right of course.

Wouldnt it read different to the gtr afms?

what size is the q45 afm?

Q45 = 90 mm

RB20/25/Z32 = 80 mm

RB26 = 65 mm

Yep. you will need to tune it exactly as you would for any other AFM swap. On the GTR Power FC there is a selection for Q45 AFM's on the menu, it's a good start. Certainly FAR easier than tuning with MAP sensors on a turbo charged engine with multiple throttle bodies. Don't ignore the extra tuning and installation costs, I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than the Power FC DJetro itself.

The best I have seen is 424 rwkw (645 bhp) out of a single Q45 AFM, no restriction issues as 90 mm is plenty big. From a resolution perspective there is more in it, maybe enough for 450 rwkw, we will see shortly.

:) cheers :)

d-jetro..

How long did it take to tune?

The one and only DJetro I have seen on a GTr took almost as long as a Motec M6000 from scratch.

Other tuners have reported the same, it's a MAP sensor driven tune on a car with a turbo and multiple throttle bodies. Once it is at full boost and WOT there is no variation from the MAP sensor, unlike an AFM which records every change in airflow no matter how small. All you are referencing your mapping to is RPM, it's one dimensional tuning. That takes time and experience to do properly.

Our race team tuner likens it to tuning with a normal Power FC where the AFM maxes out as soon as the boost target is achieved. All you have is RPM (and throttle position of course).

:happy: cheers :P

Well I just bit the bullet and ordered from www.nengun.com

Getting the whole lot with map sensors and extra loom for 1200 delivered with controller, excellent price.

My mate at DAT wants to practise tuning the de-jetro so is doing it all for nothing, we will spend a saturday on it see how we go. I have heard that they take ages.

Anyone got a gtr with a de-jetro installed I would love to see..pm me..

I just hope that the motor will be safe without afm's.

I will let you all know on KWs and torque. And if you guys are goin on the cruise on easter monday then you will see if it is reliable.......

A few of the WA guys have dropped the Wolf and gone for the DJetro, maybe try a post in the WA section. I am sure everyone would appreciate a run down on your experiences once it is tuned.

:P Cheers :P

yeah they do take up a lot more time. but you'll never have afm probs ever again eh :P

and i remember a few issues of hpi back they did the djetro on a gtr..

pretty good write up about it.. if i can find it.. i will scan the pages for you tommorrow while at work..

That's true, you will have MAP sensor problems instead. Mounted on the inlet manifold, subject to heat and vibration.

:P cheers :D

Sydneykid im going to be running an atmo BOV on my S15 which is AFM equipped. Now this car is 100% for the street(minimal lag, smooth delivery, punchy), would it be best to go for normal FC or Jetro. My aim is 240-250RWKW(using a t518Z 8cm or APEXI p60). If i have normal FC and an atmo BOV, will my car stall or stutter, or is there a way of tuning it so it won't happen? Thanks heaps in advance.

i think you can tune around the ATMO bov afm stall issue but it will take lots longer to iron out the kinks in it and not worth the labour costs IMHO.

you would be better of using the standard BOV having it do the standard job that its intended to do, recirc backpressure to the front of the compressor. i believe this will also take a tiny bit of lag away as you recirc any unused airflow/pressure build up. normal powerfc should be fine, there would be no advantes moving to the djetro verison that i can see.

do you have to run an atmo bov ?

I have a Trust Type S still in box, hasnt been installed yet. The car currently has a stock BOV, so its not necessary thta i have to run one, but it would be nice lol. I've heard there is less lag upon gear changes using a plumb-back. But i see heaps of people with silvias and skylines who run atmo BOVs with stock ECY's and don't stall/stutter, how is that so?

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
