Hi guys, strange results when I changed from stock to vg30/z32 AFM in the stagea.

While the old AFM was standard (as far as I know), the PFC was set to VG30/Z32.

With the actual Z32 AFM, it runs badly.

I am pretty sure the air flow curves for vg30 have been fiddled with along the line somewhere.

My VG30 settings are:

Volts 0 0.32 0.48 0.64 0.8 0.96 1.12 1.28 1.44 1.6 1.76 1.92 2.08 2.24 2.4 2.56 2.72 2.88 3.04 3.2 3.36 3.52 3.68 3.84 4 4.16 4.32 4.48 4.64 4.8 4.96 5.12

VG30 0 4 5 12 22 45 55 78 85 135 200 260 295 320 350 450 500 700 850 950 1200 1400 1600 2000 2200 2300 2800 3000 3200 3500 3800 4500

I found a partial screen shot from Trent which showed VG30 as

0 8 8 17 31 52 84 129 187 257 345

But the settings were not complete and I am not sure if they are stock.

Can someone with standard VG30 settings in their PFC and Datalogit please post up the correct standard values?

Full settings are here for reference:

air-flow-curves.xls

they're in the sample maps that come with fc-edit. if you dont have them then try re downloading the software. i'd upload a copy but dont have fc-edit on this computer

Excellent call, thanks mate.

I had been using the VH41 setting and the graph shows why it works....vh41 has the same AFM curve as VG30....

For reference, this is my vg30 curve vs standard afm vs standard vg30 curve vs vh41 curve.

No worries.

VH41 curve isnt the same as VG30, with that graph it'd be a much flatter line, higher airflow at low volts and lower airflow at high volts. Sounds like someones messed around with your afm tables a fair bit....

Found my copy of fc-edit and these are the standard settings for vg30 and vh41. You should be able to copy and paste these straight into fc-edit. Top row is VG30. At 2.08V both AFM's are flowing the same amount of air but below that the VH41 is flowing more and above that the VG30 is.

0 5 5 12 22 37 59 92 134 185 249 329 425 539 674 827 999 1197 1418 1655 1937 2246 2586 2961 3376 3835 4335 4883 5475 6114 6804 7546

Excellent, thanks for checking this out. :cheers:

The numbers you provided above match what I got rom the default map for vg30 so that's good news.

No idea why everything else has been moved around...I'll clean them up over time, for now it just needs to run OK for a few weeks until a proper tune.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
