Z32 Afm And Pfc Question

[Promax]

Ok guys I have a couple of questions that I was hoping someone may be able to help me out with. Firstly I currently have a PFC, EBC, and Z32 AFM waiting to be fitted to my R33. Only other mods are 3in turbo back exhaust and a FMIC. I have plans to upgrade to GT-RS turbo early next year (also injectors etc.). My question is would it be worthwile fitting the Z32 AFM at the same time as I get The PFC and EBC fitted/tuned (now), or would I be better of waiting and getting it done at the same time as the turbo upgrade (next year)? Basically what I really want to know is will the Z32 AFM give me any sort of additional power gain when installed with my current mods?

I was also wondering is it alright just to use the PFC hand controller as a boost gauge? As I currrently only have the stocke boost gauge. Or is there an advantage in installing a conventional boost guage? Like as a back up or whatever.

Sorry guys im a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff, thanks in advance!

z32 afm wont give any power increase....but it gives the ecu more scope for airflow with using bigger turbos and more boost and more fuel. It will only be useful when you go for the larger turbo, but regardless with the powerfc it wont hurt to put it on now...its one less thing to do later on.

Boost gauge doesnt matter...i know heaps of people who just use the commander to monitor all the engine stats including boost. There is no special thing to do, just do whatever your comfortable with and suits your taste.

PFC would only show boost if you get the otpional Map sensor for it ..

Z32 i would install now as you cant just plug them in and select Z32 and the tune be same as before... you will need to shift the load map to match the Z32 .. which is usually back to the tuners.. so save any mucking around and going back to the tuner and get it installed originally..

Personally i would say it doesnt matter when you do it.

Now or later wont really matter.

You are gonna have to get a full re-tune with Turbo/Injectors anyway.

I would do the Z32 then, rather than now as you stand nothing to gain by going it now.

Just personal preference, and its been a while since i disagreed with Chris

nah that makes sense t oo Ash hehe i just am going through the hassles of having to swap mine over for new inlet piping etc with the change to a Q45 AFM and now need a retune...

so i learnt that i should have got it all out of the way in the first tune

so realistically, i would wait til i had the turbo and injectors and save that $300 tune .. thats 1/3 of your injectors that you wont get back
