The Mafia Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You mean afm - air flow meter? Well, short answer, no. What ECU do you have?

Moodles2 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 RB20/RB25 AFMs max out at about 200kw (give or take 10kw depending if your willing to take the risk of tuning it outside of it's resolution), if your target is 200kw+ then you will need a Z32 AFM Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377935-how-many-kw-is-a-standard-rb20-amf-good-for/#findComment-6027063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 They are supposed to be about the same as RB25 ones which means that they hit max volts at around 200rwkW......but the common wisdom is that they run out on RB20s at about 180rwkW or so. Mine is about 170rwkW and was sitting on 4.9v or something at max power.

Mine is about 170rwkW and was sitting on 4.9v or something at max power. Just had my rb20 tuned with similar mods but standard injectors, 14psi and made only 188rwkw. My next move is obviously z32 afm and some sards Then we both crack 200 easy i would think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377935-how-many-kw-is-a-standard-rb20-amf-good-for/#findComment-6027112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsa Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm wanting whatever I get out of it hoping over 220 just want to make sure everything is good before I try Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377935-how-many-kw-is-a-standard-rb20-amf-good-for/#findComment-6027151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure those turbos are good for over 250rwkw on RB20s. Isn't it the same as Roys turbo when he was making 265rwkw or so?

GTSBoy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hell, Danny from JMS in Adelaide was making 265rwkW with a TD06 RB20 about 10 years ago.

Bsa Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Sounds like it will be a good setup then only time will tell should be dynoed in a month or so if I crack 250 I'll be stoked. Should I run cam gears? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377935-how-many-kw-is-a-standard-rb20-amf-good-for/#findComment-6027278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-LESS Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Correct me if im wrong please, but if it is a colder day or cold night doesnt your afm have more chance of maxing out / reaching maxing voltage compared to if it was a hot day?

GTSBoy Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yes. Engine breathes on a volumetric basis but AFM measures on mass basis. Denser air means more mass for each volume breathed in.
