Dont know if anybody has done this on an rb25de . I now have most of the parts to make up a 2 x tb and 2 x afm setup . just waiting on a s/h manifold to arrive . Am going to cut off the side off the plenum where the single TB is , then weld on a 12 mm plate and mount the 2 x TBs on it . Then install seperate tubes to each of the AFMs . Electrically hooking up thru the apexi safc 2 which has provision for 2 x AFMs then converts signals back to a single feed signal to the ecu . Will keep you posted on progress .

presently i,m running a 68 mm tb , and its on a rb30de .

less restriction, rb twin cam heads flow very very standard, what holds them up as with any NA engine is the ability to breath through the exhaust and intake system.

Very interested to see how this goes.. keep us posted

Sounds like a very good idea Don, are you going to do a dyno run before all this (would be keen to see your RB30DE results) as well as the changes the twin throttle bodies would make.

Eug

no wont be doing a dyno before , i use the test and tune nights at the drags to see how its running ( best 14.7 @ 93 mph ) . but i may put it on the dyno to get it fine tuned after i do the mods .

also waiting on an adjustable exhaust cam gear to fit as well , and still got to fit the 4.11 locked diff .

any reason for that Don? safc?

well this is the way i understand it .

with 2 x afm the output signals of the afms would be 1/2 that of just 1 x afm

the safc can accept 2 x input signals , then sends out 1 signal which is just an average of the 2 x inputs not adds them together .. so i still end up with just half the normal signal . the ecu would send the ammount of fuel to suit that signal , not enough .

sounds logical.

Did you paint the the plenum with something?

i see... that changes things a bit. are you opting for a larger diametre single pipe before the Y piece? what type of afm are you intending to use?

is this the case for gtr's? can anyone else shed some light on this.

its great to see you doing something different don, keep us posted!

hey. for the SAFC cant you tune it to run +or- 50% less/more fuel? so there for you should be able to tune it to run with more fuel to cater for the increased airflow? just hook it up to one afm and run 50% more fuel?

i can see the logical part of the thinkin that you will end up with half the signal of 1 AFM. there must be away around it either using resistors or somthing similar. otherwise just go for a aftermarket computer.

very nice work tho.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
