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.

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
