ive got a r33 s2 and want to put my z32 afm and to have the car run , I know you have to go to settings then air flow but when I go there it says r33 normal and when I press next it goes to a list of voltages what am i supoosed to do the set it up run a z32 i havnt been able find my answer searching or on pauls faq

its in the FAQ - select VG30 AFM From the menu - the VG30 is the engine which uses the Z32 AFM

this will load the base ramp values for the Z32 - it still needs a full tune when you change AFM

if your car is relatively stock it will be fine if u drive it steady. I put my PFC in for a bit one day for a play and just ran around off boost at lower revs and it displayed next to no knock. The base map is pretty fuely i think but as long as u drive it to your tuner (if hes not a great distance away) really lightly it should be fine. If you have any doubts just run the stock ecu till u get there or nearby and change it then

It wont be driveable.

Yes it will!

I put a Z32 AFM in my R33 GTSt about four weeks ago, changed the PFC over to VG30 AFM, and have been driving it daily on the base PFC maps. Got a wideband Oxygen sensor and it holds around 12 when accelerating hardish, and around 14 when cruising...cruise is a bit rich for my liking...knock is always low though...

Other related mods are FMIC, 3" turbo back exhaust, pod filter, 10psi boost etc...

Going to put bigger injectors in soon, and then off for a tune... :D

Willing to put his motor on it?

It has been tuned for the current AFM, so it wont be running hell rich like a stock map which basically couldnt kill a motor if you tried...

Most likely the tune will be close to perfect, not rich and so on. Adding in a larger AFM could spell disaster.

I think its a silly risk when it is a 15min job to change at best, i would drive to the tuner, change the AFM when you get there, rest assured you will not mince anything.

Fair enough....my oversight...I agree....

Quick reply I must say...your like a hawk! :D

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side
