You cut the sensor out of the std rb25 AFM and you put the sensor in to a 3in pipe because the std one is 2.5in so this means that less air will go past the sensor,has anyone done this before.

Similar to what Autospeed did except they used a seperate bypass pipe then the digital fuel adjuster to get the A/F mixtures correct.

In theory it should work the same way, just don't damage the AFM hotwires!

umm... no it doesnt

have you looked at an AFM before?

You'll see that changing the diameter wont affect it at all as the AFM wire is in the middle of the AFM itself.

The amount of air going isnt going to change

I think it would, wouldn’t the wire measure the air and then calculate that by 2.5'' pipe

so if the pipe was 3'' the air would measure the same but there would be more air in the 3'' pipe then the 2.5'' pipe.??

I'm just guessing..

area of a 2.5" pipe = 31.6cm2

area of a 3" pipe = 45.5cm2

the bigger pipe will flow more air, but since the sensor only reads what goes though the little hole it sits in, then calculates how much air that is for the designated size of the pipe, when you put it into a bigger pipe it throws the calculations out and you end up with leaner mixtures.

as has been said, the AFM wire will indeed sense less amount of air, but all this will do will make the car run leaner as it will add less fuel. without tuning it would be useless. and given you'd have to tune, it makes sense to go z32 if you are going the whole hogg

btw.. nissan AFMs use a hot wire with variable resistances, right?

but since you generally have to run some form of either piggyback or full ecu to run a z32, i don't think that leaning out would be an issue since you have to get it tuned for the afm either way.

personally i'd just get an ecu that uses a map sensor.

just know about this a while ago....

found a webpage that did this...and in the same time...upgraded his injectors...

so i think there wouldnt be any problem if u cut off the AFM and fit it in a bigger pipe and in the same time fit in a bigger injectors....and tune it back to optimal settings....

i just dont see a problem with this MOD...

plus...u can save some cash....for budget drifters....

Bah, pack of gurls! =)

There’s a risk, but in reality if you seal the sensor to the pipe well ( careful not to use any noxious adhesives that will eat the PCB) and tune it properly, ( piggy back, FC) it would be well impressive to get it working.

Perfect for the budget conscious.

That said, for $300 there’s no way i would risk my motor :D

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
