Putting The Afm In Cooler Piping

[RB SANDY]

hey guys just a quick question, is it worth cutting the intercooler piping on a skyline and putting your afm there ?

if i can get some replies that would be great.

thanks guys

I heard it can help with reversion or pulsing.

it can, what are u trying to fix ?

i have seen a picture of a r33 with it done. the way that they had altered the piping was a bit weird though.

i think you would still get issues with stalling though, because as you lift off and the bov (even plumback) opens, there is going to be a rush of air go past the AFM, so it will richen up the mixtures a lot.

also the AFM would get dirtier easier, therefore give inaccurate readings. if you get a lot of blowby, or have a slightly stuffed oil seal on the turbo the AFM is going to get covered in oil, and won't read all the air going past.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I am thinking of doing this on my R32 when I make my intercooler pipes up. Where would it have to go in relation to where the BOV is? The BOV would be best to go between the AFM and the throttle body wouldn't it? Otherwise the AFM would be reading air that is flowing the wrong way? I'm probably wrong but. lol. Can anyone help me?

yet its worth doing if you do it post cooler (betwen cooler and throttle body)and you have crazy cams.... other wise waste of time.

^^^^^agreed, also it will do away with venting bov issues, and reversion stalling, just put it in a nice straight run, as close to the throttle, and make sure its after the BOV as far as possible, you may have to clean it or at least check it regularly.
