Afm Position With Turbo Build


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am just finishing my turbo build on my L24e R30 I was wondering where the best place to fit my air flow meter is I was thinking prob after the intercooler before the bov? Not 100% on this just want to make sure before I cut any intercooler pipes up.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

i'm going to assume it's the stock L24E AFM, not sure how it would go under boost pressures so before the turbo.

Pretty sure it would shit itself under boost being a big flap and stuff,

thanks for the reply I didnt think of that only going to run 8psi untill i get a new ecu anyway will try it before turbo and see how it goes I just heard it can cause stalling and idle problems mounted their but thats prob with a bigger turbo then I am using anyway.

After seems to be the new trend. Ideally the afm goes in the bin and u get a good ecu

Let me clarify the above statement - disregard the first suggestion, and follow the second...

:)

The AFM on the R30 is useless, and has a sawtooth resistance curve. Not only that, it's got a rectangular mounting face which is a PITA.

If you must use an AFM, retro fit an SR or RB one (of course this would be if you fit an ECU with an AFM input).

Seriously, don't bother with the factory EFI if you're running a turbo conversion, it's just not worth the hassle.

As Ben says, the stock L24E AFM aint worth a pinch of pelican poop and further to that, the air box is a dudd too! It will all depend on what you have planned, but a stockish look to confuse the NSW law, you will have to have an air box of sorts. The DR30 air box is the best, along with a DR30/FJ20ET AFM would be my pick. The DR30 air box flows heeps more air than the L24E will.

Failing this, you're going to have to enclose a pod filter attached to your AFM.

The ECU is your biggest and foremost issue, as it has to have a feed for the AFM.

My suggestion is find an after market ECU, but it also depends on what state you have to pass registration in.

Cheers, D

    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
    • Hello, I am looking to replace my two rear drive shafts in my R34 N/A Skyline but I'm finding conflicting information. Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
