Hi all. So after getting an apexi pfc, and having a chat with a local tuner who I'm going to use, I'm on the hunt for a z32 airflow meter. But I'm wanting to know if they are all the sme? between the non turb, and turb ones, and I have seen yellow sticker ones, and orange sticker ones. Is there anything I need to be weary of? How about the new ones you can buy? i imagine some of them are cheap knockoffs? Or is there little diffrence between genuine and chinese here? Thanks.

You want the Orange sticker one - And you want a genuine one, a fake chinese or whatever one will be worse than standard and you risk damaging stuff. The fakes have very poor workmanship usually - a quick Google search will help there.

Buy from a trusted distributer - Note eBay if you want to be sure.

Also 2nd hand is buyer beware - it may work fine but it may also be crud.

So definately staying away from the cheap n nasty then. The only problem is I'll probly be buying online, so won't be able to inspect the item b4 hand. Are there any trusted suppliers over there i could contact to buy a new one? There is a supplyer here, but they're asking 500 for a quality new one. And I'm thinking i should be able to find a sharper price. Times not really an issue. Got lots of other parts to sort out along the way. And can anyone clarify, what are the yellow sticker ones? Also, are the vh45, and vh41 airflow meters viable options with the PFC?

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
