Q45 Or Twin Z32's?

[wolfwood]

hey all jsut keep getting told diffrent things buy diffrent shops. some tell me to run twin z32 afm's and some tell me to jsut run 1 q45, this is on a rb26 single turbo conversion.

can some1 or a few ppl plz tell me wat is better to do

thanks ben

single q45 is probably more work (fabrication), cheaper and less pipe work and crap

twin z32s is probably more bolt on, but more pipework and easier (depending on ecu too)

running power fc...

if you have the stock pipework and filters or airbox still

then look at the nismo's afms

they are same size 65mm so you dont have to change anything and give the resolution of the z32s. basically its a z32 chipset inside a GTR 65mm shell. moving to z32s requires 80mm pipework and pod adapters to suit, so it can be over 1000 if buying new afms and pods, kit, adapters and pipework

check out the nismo 65mm's option

Simple, one turbo = one AFM

Just parrallel up the wiring from the one AFM so the PFC gets 2 signals.

The only reason you would go for 2 x Z32 AFM's is if your power target exceeds the capacity of one Q45 AFM. That's around 650 bhp, but it does vary from car to car.

I heard somewhere.. that the reason some workshops suggest 2 X Z32 AFM's is because the Z32 afm has a broader band sensor inside.. and thus has higher mapping areas.. Where as the Q45. although bigger the Sensor inside is not as broad ranged.. and is limited in the way of fine tuning..

Don't flame.. its just what i've heard - Please correct me?

Cheers

hmm yea i though that running one afm would be fine but diffrent work shops keep telling me diffrent things so it can be quite confusing.

adam you sound so smart *wink*

Single q45 FTW. Easier to hook up the piping, and should have plenty of power scope, dont worry about the clibration, as they run a q45 fine, and thats luxury car, no rough running there

ahh kk, currently in the process of getting a difinate answer for a few workshops. and a few tuners. but yea i think q45 ftw. cheaper than having to get 2 z32 afms and a y pipe made up
