Hi guys whats up.

I was just wondering who here is using the Apexi SAFC in there R32 GTS-t's? It does'nt matter if it's version 1 or 2 as I just wanted to know what the +/- fuel correction would be for GTR 444cc injector's? I know the stock GTS injector's are 270cc so to have the GTR injector's behave like GTS injector's whats the number I need to imput in the Low/Hi throttle maps across my NE points?

In my old kade engine from my 240, the stock injector's were 270's as well and when I installed SR 370's the correction (untill a dyno tune) was -27 across the board. That let me drive the car at least untill going to the dyno. True it ran a little lean but I did'nt go boost crazy so it was'nt an issue. In fact I did my best to stay out of boost.

As well if you maybe post up what your current number's for it are, along with the set up, that will give me a rough starting point at the dyno. I may not be going with an Eprom tune for a little while but I'd like to turn the boost up to around 10psi ish and have the injector's, walboro pump, fpr and SAFC for fuel controll untill then.

Any other experiences you've had using the SAFC on an RB20det motor would be appreciated too.

Thanks a lot fella's.

Cheers B)

I'd be guessing heaps of people do but i'd try a search in forced inductionor post in that section as i'm sure you would recieve more replies from the more technical than general section

Hope that helps :)

Just a quick question, what benefits would be had if I installed an older series 1 S-AFC in my R32 (rb20det) ? Will it allow me to lean out the fuel mixtures and make the car use less fuel? I think my car is running quite rich. Who tunes SAFC's, is it done on the dyno by the guys there?

Thanks

The SAFC cheats the signal from teh AFM to the ECU to change the fuelling of the car. It doesnt actuall control the injectrs directly. So i t could be very tricky tryin gto use an SAFC to control bigger injectors...if you need bigger injectors it may be worhwhile saving for an ECU or gettign it re-written by an expert.?!?!?!

I'm running a relatively stock setup, apart from 3" turbo back exhaust, pod filter, hks ssqv bov, stock turbo running on boost-t at ~10psi. I think my car is using more fuel than it should and running rich.

Will an SAFC be able to make it use less fuel and get a better a/f ratio? Thats all I want to know :)

Well there's no real point in using an SAFC if your running stock injector's. The ecu will compensate for the extra boost and hopefully supply enough fuel. You really only need an SAFC when running a different maf or injector's.

The best way to determine your a/f's is either with a wideband or the dyno. I don't think you'd be running that rich and if so, it's probabley only on the decel when you let off the throttle. That's no big deal though.

Now to fully answer your question, yes the SAFC can either increase or decrease the amount of fuel even with stock injector's however you can achieve pretty much the same result using a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. However if you have an SAFC already and want to put it in, your fuel corrections will start at 0% +/- and go up or down from there. The 0 is because you have stock injector's and you'll just play around from there. I'd recommend leaving it at 0 across the board in Low Throttle for sure. Your High Throttle %'s will have to be determined by a wideband or dyno. Oh also remember to gap your spark plugs to .8 mm's to get rid of the spark out issue in the high rpm's when you turn the boost up.

Well I hope that answers your question ok. :rofl:

Now can anyone answer my question about the proper correction needed to make GTR 444cc injector's act like the stock GTS 270's? I just need the number's so I can at least drive to dyno.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
