AFM on a 1996 legacy?

[forcefed]

Hey guys ive got a 1996 legacy, suposidly its a GTB, it has bilsteins and had an orange afm, but only grey injectors, my queston is, is there a way to tell if its a GTB or jst a GT, and what afm should it have in it? engine is a ej20h and chassis is BG5-184590, maybe someone has the same car or knows the specs for it and what it should have

Thanks

AFAIK orange and greys never went together ej20r got the yellow injectors and orange AFM the greys show have a blue AFM, any sign of wire tampering

[forcefed]

nah no wire mods, orange and blue would use the same plug wouldnt they?

[Drunkenmonkey]

nope orange 3 pin blue 4/5 pin (cant remember)

[forcefed]

Oh rite, from what i can gather from trademe etc it should have a blue afm but thort someone on here mite be able to tell me to be sure by going an eng model or chassis number

[Drunkenmonkey]

yeah there should be a code bg5a/b/c?

I'm sure I've seen the purple AFM on BG's too, and I think they have the smaller 3 pin plug.

your right on the money with that..

ej20h run the purple AFM with grey injectors and yes the purple AFM have the small 3 pin

the ej20r run the orange AFM with yellow/GREEN injectors YES GREEN seen them i 5 cars now..

Um, It's impossible to tell EJ20H and EJ20R heads appart from the outside if they are post 96. Only the pre face lift EJ20H's had lines on the rocker covers. The pre and post face lift EJ20H's are very different engines

Also the only BG's to get EJ20R's and yellow tops are MANUAL GTB's. Auto GTB's indeed got the grey top EJ20H, but as stated above, they look the same as 20R's.

I find the orange AFM bit very interesting. I'm not 100% sure, but i will second what matt said, only 20R powered GTB's should get an orange AFM... interesting indeed.

Oh, and yep, i put the chassis number into teh computer, it's a GTB 100%. Pitty you bought an auto though. At least they are more reliable, you won't need to worry bout running a big end at all

there more way as well head lites and tail life

tail lght on gtb the clear is darker

Also incorrect, that's a pre and post face lift thing. Face lift GT's share the GTB bumper, tinted tails, projector headlights, grille etc. Some even get the same bucket seats, albiet with a different pattern. For face lift GT vs GTB, ways to tell em appart are a bit more subtle. If the bump strips or skirts are unpainted, it's GT, though you could option them painted. The wheels is another way, but these are easily swapped. Sometimes it's near impossible to tell em apart, especially for the C rev..

the orange afm is a larger diameter. the 3pin plug might be the same but you would need to swap the airbox and intermediate rubber pipe before the under-manifold-intake for it to fit.

sure your looking at the injectors? they all have a metalic (grey) cover. they may be yellow and dirty. pull off an injector plug connector to be sure.

Thanks guys, was confusing me a bit but sounds like purple will be the go,

Its not an auto anymore its been converted to manual, haha nah not bigend failure but i brought with suspected headgasket turned out to be a nice big hole blown in the side of the bore lol some1 must of been running extreme boost into it,

Yip definatly grey injectors

Its a facelift 96

my new engine will come with airbox piping etc just need to find a purple afm now

[forcefed]

Oh and the engine that was in it has the old gt heads with the lines but I woulda thort thats how the early auto GTBs were?

[Drunkenmonkey]

if a purple has been seen then i would say yeah try a purple one spanku is selling one on here

Hey, i have a blue AFM off a 95 leggy

PM me if interested

bull sh#t i seen EJ20R auto's run green tops..

no i should get them tested they a drak green but green..

That's so weird. I've never seen greens. It seems strange to have an injector between 380cc and 440cc. 440's are only a 16% increase over 380's, and the ECU can adjust fuel delivery by +/- 25%, so in theory you can fit yellows to an engine meant for greys, and the ECU will reduce injector duty to compensate on cruise, but would have 16% more fuel on boost.
