    they have one inboard?

    so your say thing that's its compatible with either..?

    you can still use forced induction with a MAP sensor? don't know why more Nissan blokes don't use MAP then..??

    ^^^ nissan guys run PFC's. Unless they are in d-jetro mode, PFC's still require a AFM.

    Most commonly they upgrade to 300zx AFMs.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, just stating what i did with my sr20.

    running a map sensor doesnt automatically give u more power....it allows you to have more power....z32 is basically used as an upgrade as it has a larger voltage range than the c18,sr,rb afms and allows it to measure alot more aflow without maxing out......Z32 AFM is said to max out at roughly 340rwkw....not many ca18,sr20,rb20's running that kind of power to need to run a MAP sensor...

    megasquirts are very powerful units considering how straight forward and cheap they are...look at the number of cars running them in the states....every second car ive looked at on club4ag is running one

    I know they went for the bigger AFM lazy..

    Just if MAP was superior i wasn't sure why they wouldn't swap over, now i do a mate of mine has a PFC that's going on the next 4ag that's built, that's going to have quads so I'm not sure what you would use this them? would have to be some kind of MAP.. if anything?

    Well I'm about sold.

    I wasn't aware that they where popular in the US, just you don't seem to see many at all here.

    Thanks guys for the help and info. will definitely have to get onto twincam.org some time.

    ive looked at these first hand, if you buy the kit un-assembled, i highly recommend that you try and get some practice on soldering good

    you really want your work on this done clean and good, dodgy on electrical components is uber ghey, and can turn expensive.

    also, read up on DC circuit theory, you'll thank me in the long run, and you can find out what thing you've screwed up (and you probably will, 99% of ppl who solder them up will at some stage, its just the sheer volume of components that need to go in certain locations)

    Yeah I'm fairly confident i would be able to assemble one, I have 2 other jay-car kits to practice on and they are basically they same thing as for as construction goes. they have quite a good instruction manual with them which obviously helps a lot.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (japlish @ Oct 23 2007, 12:09 PM) </div>what would be required to tune one of these at home. i mean what extras are needed like gauges. I'm thinking of getting an air/fuel sniffer or gauge like you but is anything else required apart from a pc to hook it up to?

    what frequency is the tacho signal? i have already modded my dash cluster to use the standard ae92 gze ecu. will this still be usable? will an unmodified gauge cluster work?

    will i need any new sensors etc if I'm going to splice it into the stock ae92 gze loom?

    nope you don't need any extra guages cause you can view it all on a laptop.

    i havn't even put mine in yet and have sorta forgot'n most of the info so i can't help with your other Q's sorry :unsure:

    have a look on msefi.com it should answer your Q's :2thumbs:
