Ok i have the usual 4500rpm+ lack of power. (R33 GTS-t 1994)

Im ordering Splitfires and a new set of NGK iridium 8's on Monday to hopefully sort it.
If it doesnt then im looking at changing the AFM.

Question is.
I intend to fit a bigger turbo sometime this year so if i need to change my AFM now there doesnt seem much point going for the standard one and then having to upgrade to Z32 or Q45 later on.
So.. can I fit Z32 or Q45 now to my current set up??? If so which should i go for?? (i dont have a PFC)

Current relevent spec:

Hybrid Front mount intercooler
Apex SAFC-II fuel controller
HKS EVC-II boost Controller
All in one 3” downpipe and turbo elbow
Blitz exhaust full system with decat
NGK grade 8 iridium plugs
HKS filter & induction kit with custom cold air feed in bumper & bonnet
Walbro fuel pump

btw ill be going for a top mount turbo (plus 550 injectors) to go on the top mount tubular manifold ive already bought if that makes any difference at all.

i am sure you will need power fc to run the Z32!

since posting ive found a few posts saying SAFCII can run it.. and even one that claims series 1 R33 GTS-t uses the same plug so no rewiring if i get the Z32??

can anyone confirm please?
(i realise a remap will be required)

SAFC II Will definately run it
the plug is the same for some series one but others still need rewiring
You can see with this.

Z32

superb thanks.

so if i do end up needing to try a new AFM after fitting the Splitfires I may as well just get a Z32 and a remap then!
Then all i need is the new turbo, injectors and a little downpipe reworking and im ready for a nice power increase.

As Gman says..
On a z32 i would say your fuelling will need around 8-10% increase throughout the range on the safc but obviously a remap is definetly the way to go as you say to get the best results.

The symptoms you describe are not typical of an AFM fault, which will cause hesitation throughout the rev range.

great, if thats the case itll save having to remap now and then again for the new turbo etc as i can leave changing the AFM til then.
