Afm

[Timd]

Hey everyone

I pulled my pod and AFM off today to give them a clean. On inspection i noticed that the rear most mesh(closest to turbo) was torn and pretty badly damaged. Can anyone tell me the problems which this may have caused? For examply I have trouble starting it in the morning is this a result of the bodgy AFM? can i swap this mesh with one found on a more common vehcle or are they vehicle specific. Its an rb20det. cheers

Take the rear mesh off, it doesn't really do anything. It is not the cause of your starting problems, my bet would be a dirty AFM, give it a good spray with brake cleaner. Good luck.

is it fine to have no mesh on either side?

got a z32 now with perfect mesh but my old one has no mesh at all.

i want to sell it at some stage

Personally I prefer to have mesh on the inlet side of the AFM, protect it from large lumps and supposedly straightens up the air flow over the hot wire. Some people have experienced rough running with the mesh removed.

i never had a rear mesh only a front mesh

has worked fine for me.
