After i installed a Z32 into my S2 Stagea i decided to make up this little diagram for anyone else looking at the upgrade. This may also be the same as the S1 as i'm sure the AFM's are basically the same pink label MAF. The S2 wiring was almost identical to the S2 R33 wiring with the exception of cable colour. Also keep in mind you cant install a Z32 and run the engine without a tune.

how much has all this cost you.

what will u gain? power and fuel maybe?? running an safc to tune it?

You can get a brand new Z32 for around $300. Then either shell out for a Tomei Z32 plug like I did, or use a VL AFM plug, I read they are the same.

There is no real gain to be had unless your chasing anything above 220kw. And then it's more of a must to chase the bigger power figure. The Z32 has more resolution than the stock AFM.

I'm using Nistune to tune for the Z32, but you can use a Safc.

No gain unless he's got a bigger turbo and his stock afm is on max voltage.

Stock afm's can only read up to a certain amount of airflow while the z32's can read more. Its just a supportive mod for bigger power really

Hey thanks Josh, looking to do this on my S2 soon and you just took all the hard work out!

Dave, installing a Z32 pretty much renders you car undriveable until you get a tune. Your running Nistune as well aren't you? its relatively easy to setup but from my experience from just doing this, its not as easy as changing the VQ map to suit the Z32. For me the fuel mixtures where off and needed to be adjusted.

Thanks for the info - yes I'm running a Nistune as well; I just picked up a Z32 and so came back to this thread :) I was told it's a Tomei plug but the colours are different to yours. I will be getting a full tune when I install.

strange, although it is highly possible that tomei have just used different colour cables. just match up the pin id letters and you'll be fine. if your doing the install yourself make sure you can still get you car to the tuners as you wont be able to safely start and drive your car. what you could do is wire in the Z32 plug in parallel with the stock one, that way you can drive to the tuners on the stock AFM, then all the tuner has to do is swap the AFM and tune away.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.

      I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.

      All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
