hey guys over the last 2 days my battery light started comming on when i stopped at the lights, but once i started driving it went away. since then its got alot worse to the point that i had to keep the revs up to keep the light off . i lost my lights boost controller radio and boost in all gears, only just made it home. ended up finding an alternator but it was off a non turbo rb 20 ive noticed its smaller then mine is this gonna be a problem with the power that it puts out

From what I remember, RB20 is 70 amps, RB25 is 80 amps, RB26 is 90 amps. They all fit, just make sure you snip off the plug for the warning light and whatever it does. The ring plug should fit up. I needed to file mine to fit it into a RB 180SX.

I got an R33 RB25DET alternator for my R32 RB20DET.

The alternator bolted up fine

The pulley was a little smaller than the RB20 one but it fit up fine and the belt was easy to tension

The positive battery fitting on the RB25 one was different - was on a right angle and was for a little but of a larger fitting. The RB20 one did not a have a right angle piece. This did unbolt from the RB25DET one and all was fine from there without modification to the fitting or anything.

      Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.

      Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.

      It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.

      What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?

      It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
