Have you read the thread? I'm struggling to understand why you'd ask that given the half a dozen posts so far...

All the replies clearly say you won't MAKE extra power, torque, or BOV noises swapping the AFM.

sorry just trying to figure out at what point the 20cells for example max out, say for example if the 20cells span from idle accross to 225kw and your making 250kw's, then i was wondering if the z32 then becomes better for tuning and better graph, or do you somehow guess what the voltage would be or somting, my knowledge is lacking here so thats why im asking.

your getting mixxed up. the ecu simply reads the afm voltage and uses this to determine load and therefore the correct amount of fuel and timing. all nissan AFM's max out at 5.1v, but they dont flow the same amount of air at 5.1v. the standard rb25 afm's hit 5.1v at around 200-240rwkw, depending on the car, and run out of resolution, the car can still make more power but having the afm maxxed out makes tuning above that rough and dangerous. a z32 afm is simply calibrated differently and flows more air before maxxing out, which allows the ecu to accurately measure load up to a higher power level.

the afm does not max out at the same point as the ecu's load cells, in the power fc example i gave the standard afm would max out around p15 or p16, just over half the load of the last load point of the map. the ecu uses the afm to determine load then uses the map (load vs rpm) to determine fuel and timing, they're seperate things.

thanks thats the answer i was looking for, good info..:no:

    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
    • Yeah, but "restomod" implies Singer and things like it, which implies drug money / trust fund maturity.
