stock AFM -> Z32 AFM

[MRK25T]

Nick just suggested seeing what it would cost for one brand new. There is no way i'd go new for that price.

Have you been able to get a hold of a Z32 AFM yet for your build?

...talking about builds, at the workshop where I take my car there was a R33 gtst with high mount CGC turbo (600hp X?? range). started spooling at 4000rpm and hit full boost at 5500rpm.

He had what looked like a modified standard plenum that was forward facing, turbosmart external wastegate, and worked internals.

Where you going that extreme (basicly it was for drag racing and not that much for street).

i had the z32 afm ages ago, i just got the plug for it yesterday and its all installed. I got external gate and 3037 going on custom manifold! the internals are staying standard till it blows or when i decide to spend more dosh at once with headwork, 1.6mm head gasket, forged piston, short penned rods and nitrided crank!

That would be this one ?? Same as the one I want for my RB30DET Conversion...

[MRK25T]

I got quoted $4400 for that setup Brendan. It comes with turbo, manifold, and tail wastegate.

I've lost the quote though.

Hey Mark what mods do u have making that power? I didn't realise the AFM needed upgrading at that low amount of power.

[MRK25T]

Ben, I have a high flowed turbo, full 3" exhaust, powerfc, profecb boost controler, clutch, fuel regulator, fuel pump, adj cam gears, fmic and thats about it I think.

I would like the upgraded AFM so I can tune the car again for more power.

Mark

[Grim]

what adj cam gears are you running?

[MRK25T]

Im not sure what brand it is, my mechanic had it and put it on the exhaust side. It wasn't touched when I got the tune as the guy tuning didn't believe it made any difference.

I heard cams can make a difference of 30kw in the lower power band, is that correct? might be worth investing in some.

Hi Mark25T,

You can buy Z32 AFM's from Petroject in sydney, in an as new condition go to http://www.petroject.com.au/ and look under EFI parts or call them on 1300 30 40 60, they won't cost you $850 thats for sure!

As for the plug that connects to the Z32 AFM yes you will need to get a new one. The plug that goes onto your existing AFM will not plug into the Z32AFM however all you need do is obtain a plug from a RB30 (out of a VL) as this plugs straight onto a Z32AFM..well it did when i installed Z32AFM's on my car! Just take your Z32AFM to any VL wrecker to make sure it plugs straight on.

cam gears make a huge difference in the tuneability of the car. My car was not making boost until around 4200rpm and full boost not being reached until after 5000rpm I then had it tuned with heaps of attention being paid to the cam timing via the cam gears...end result boost starts at 3000rpm and reaches peak boost at 4400rpm, thus much better street performance. Really just depends on what you want your car to do!

Cheers

retard the exhaust cam gear by 4 degree and u get a good power gain

[MRK25T]

Thanks Stu, i'll give that place a call during my lunch break and thanks for the info about the VL plugs.

Someone has pm'd me last night about selling their Z32AFM but didn't quote a price. What did you pay for your (just as a rough guide?)

Mark

[STUGTR]

You should be able to pick up a second hand one for between $250 & $300 anything more is a bit rich.

Let me know the price that petroject quote you

Cheers

[MRK25T]

Petroject doesn't sell them anymore because they have had problems in the past. They recommended Hills because they are not dealing in them anymore.

Any other suggestions Stu?

search the for sale section u will find 1 for sale, i bought mine from the forums

[STUGTR]

Hmmm...well as INASNT says browse the for sale section or post your own "wanted" ad. I have asked the person who does my tuning to look for me they will know hopefully by next Thursday if he can source any.

Cheers

[MRK25T]

I put a wanted add a few weeks ago but only got 1 reply from Sebaz. It looks like he is keeping his GTR so wont be selling his Z32 AFMs.

I'm not desperate since id like to do 1 or 2 more mods before doing a final tune.

Mark

Hi mate,

u still after a Z32 afm?? Ive got one, including a K&N pod filter and it does come with the plug

They sell em for $350 at JMS, but mine has the pod too.

Will

[MRK25T]

Sorry Will, I bought one last week for $260 including brand new plug from the performance workshop I go to.

Mark

[williamc]

no probs, have u dyno'd it yet???

[MRK25T]

I haven't installed it yet, its just sitting under my bed at home.

This time I want my car tuned by someone who is familiar with powerFCs.
