More along the lines of I have no idea what your talking about....are you saying AFM's are better than map sensors or the other way around? I notice you describe them as being totally different, but not which would be the better application for my purpose

well they are two different things trying to achieve the same goal. its a matter of using the right tool for the right job. if you want superior "resolution" on the map layer for the ecu then go for airflow meters. if you want "single dimension" tuning then go for map sensors. see what your tuner thinks and then go from there?

the restriction layer that most people refer to on a car as far as airflow meter "diameter" is concerned applies after the turbocharger on a turbo car. moving to map sensors based on "restriction" should not be the case

on an n/a car the "restriction" applies throughout the air intake as it needs as little restriction as there is nothing forcing the air in, other than sea level pressure

OK, so far I have come down to $9,570 worth of parts, all from Nengun including delivery cost (not including labor) and have seprated them into these 3 stages:

Stage 1 -- $1,750

Power FC - APEXI

Remote Oil Filter

Cam Gears - TOMEI Adjustable

Timing Belt - TOMEI

Stage 2 -- $1,758

Injectors - SARD 700CC

Fuel Pump - NISMO

AFM's (might move this to Stage 1 and get a water pump here. But my car doea already have a newish water pump)

Oil Catch Can

Stage 3 -- $6,062

Camshafts - TOMEI (IN260deg / EX260deg / L9.15mm)

Con Rods - TOMEI Forged H-beam

Turbos - Garrett GT2530 (or GT-RS - GTR Turbos?, only an extra $200 to get them delivered from Nengun)

I might get onto X-Speed or Hyperdrive (Perth locals) and ask about tuning the Power FC next year.

you forget the 5-6k needed for the rebuild with forged pistons mate

there is no way you'll crank out 500rwhp on stockers. time in limited

damn, forgot to add the piston work ;), oh well, theres the $16k not including labor then :)

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
