AFM POSISTION - ive searched this but mixed results Heres what i want 2 do will it affect proformance ( idel **** , run rich , **** the afm ????) Ive also herd it improves preformance EG the car wont stall under boost or when dosen ?????? Hss anyone got this enginerd before ???? This is where i want 2 place the afm ??????? will this be to far away from the throttle body im gettn the auto elec to put a extend afm wire ?? Hes also going to intall a switch for the original afm wire posistion so you can toggle between them (pritty cool and looks stock ) heres a pic of liams car from the street commodore mag (cool location ) nice and hidden (mabe even spray it silver ) his looks like it sits about maybe 40cm fro mthe trottle body but im going to place mine in this bend in the pipeing ????? Or in this posistion Airgmh and ive seen other have it mid way aint have no problim wit it What u guys think Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

a little off topic but its illegal to move it? Im not up on the laws down there.. and the best place for it, is the bin. After market ECU I had mine (with stock intake) where you pointed out in the last pic, it didnt affect idle or stalling after flutters.. I also had it about 100mm away from the TB with an after market intake and it was 100% the same.

imo that position is way too exposed to the elements, especially water.

Put it down like the 2nd pic man in front of the radiator and maybe get another afm as a dunny to put on you airbox with a air pipe running yo ur turbo but not actually attached

Thats a damn decent idea you've got there, but as said i'd be worried about it getting wet. Maybe make up a bit of a sheild??

Maybe make up a bit of a sheild?? yer its a good idear mate when i go to do ill keep you guys updated i want to keep it hidden as much as posible but i want 2 keep the preformance perfect hopefully just 2 be safe ill get an enginers cert for the whole car to be safe

mine works fine here, but its there to adjust the fuel mix right? so closer to TB the better as i see it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey mate i moved my AFM about 4 months ago the car has been running so much better and made the trip from North QLD to WA no worries. I put it just a bit further around from where u want to put it but i am sure it will work where u want to put it good luck. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yea mate worked for me. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

or you could put it the other side of the tab where jubs has marked it in the pic. in the middle of those two tabs is where i have mine and ive had no worries

my old set-up i had the afm placed near the radiator on the cold side, never had any problems with melting etc, my new set-up i have the afm right on the throttle body but that is with a jd custom forward facing plenum, so the afm now sits where the battery originally did, also the stock wiring to afm reaches over there easily once pulled out of the main loom, so you shouldnt need to extend it.

i just moved mine a week ago i have the same cooler kit and i put mine where jubs11 said he put his and mine is fine i just got sick of the spluttering after boost. i read on here someone did a back to back dyno test 1st in orig spot and second in the piping it lost 5kw in the piping. but i prefer it running better.

yer i want it 2 run mint when i out it there plus i dont want stalling issues

Mate mines the same as NZ VL com, but mine is futher down the piping and i dont have any problems..

I have My AFM where the seccond picture is, near the Radiator. Runs fine always never an issue and get my KMS out of the tank, Hope this helps you!

Same as above, as in the second pic and car runs great. If you blow a cooler pipe chances are it will be before the AFM ie car will still run. That has saved me twice as i wasnt able to get the pipe back on and was able to limp home.
