Anybody Using A Safc Ii?

[noakespg]

Hey everyone. Sorry for continually posting questions but I was just wondering if anyone here has experience running an SAFC II on their car. Did it fix any problems you had or did it effect performance in anyway. Thanks in advance.

When i had mine tuned it did feel a like the power came on alot smoother and according to the dyno sheet i have it was getting alot better air/fuel mixtures and it also did yeild a decent power increase i think it was like 5 - 7 kw though i am not 100% sure.

The main reason i got my SAFC II was because with the few bolt-on mods i had the goold old ecu started doings it typical nissan rich and retard...

In saying that though mine has gone stupid its almost like its lost its settings maybe the connecting is loose who knows but it has gone back to being very rich. When i get a moment i will take it back to a new tuner to get checked out.

Leech is running a SAFCII and super i think is as well.

My car is sporting one. I found that it partially fixed the missing/flat spot problems through the high rev range and increased power due to the alteration of the previous very rich air/fuel ratios (at that stage running 12 psi with aftermarket intercooler, exhaust etc – my standard R33 computer going into super rich air/fuel ratio mode). Although I feel the missing problem was a combination both the rich air/fuel ratios and faulty coil packs (now they are painted in a pretty blue heat resistant paint and work like a dream).

I wouldn’t be surprised if I gained at least 15rwkw after getting the SAFC tuned, and the power delivery was much smoother as Leech has said above. As I picked mine up second hand for a relativity cheap price it has been a very good value for money modification providing both a good increase in power and power delivery. Hope that helps

EDIT: Actually from what I remember (ive got a bad memory though ) the dyno run before it was tuned was getting close to 190rwkw (somewhere in the high 180’s at least) and now after the tune getting 210rwkw. Quite a large increase in power…

I just ordered one then. Got it for $300 plus delivery of $60. Thanks for the replies. Now I only have to worry about who im gonna get to tune it. Any suggestions

Alittle bit off topic but does anyone know if the VAFC and SAFC are anydifferent besides the VAFC having to a control for Vtec. And could the VAFC control VCT on a rb25??

Just wondering cos i've been offered a really cheap brand new Apexi item, but I can only get 1 and not a whole bunch.

Check the VAFC application charts on the apexi website (www.apexi.com). I think you will find they will work with Honda vehicles only. They are very specific about only using it with cars on that list “Do not under any circumstance use this product for any car application other than on the applicable vehicles”. Stick with the SAFC eh?

like above i thought the VAFC was only for hondas with VTEC...

anyways found my dyno sheet according to the sheet i gained 12.6RWKW, peak power is achieved about 400rpm later and graph is a fair bit smother

I installed the SAFC2 so the car would run less rich, hence not coating my rear bar with soot (white car you see)

The gains and the improved fuel economy was a bonus

White car... Soot...? I feel your pain!

[satanic]

Yes, mega biatche when you wash your car for a cruise, come home to find your rear covered in black specks

[leech_]

hmm well my rear bar looks great black even when my car was running rich though i didnt seem to get any black crap on my rear but i guess even if it did i probably wouldnt notice it that much

Pete at Autotech in fyshwick is the man you want to see, he tuned my SAFC, A/F ratios are a bit healthier and i gained 0.6 rwkw to boot

[race_snooze]

white car black soot you must have seen mine then, f**king black shit every where i need polish to remove mine

Awsome! Thanks for the help guys. While were on the subject, what sort of fuel economy is everyone getting? Im getting about 300k's to the tank atm. Does that sound right?

[race_snooze]

welcome to the world of skylines and fuel consumption, I can get 400k's if i realy realy watch my foot, but normaly 300 mark.

[leech_]

that sounds pretty shit to me... though i guess like most things it depends on existing mod's, engine size, how much you strap it.

When my car was bog stock i was getting like 480 - 490 around town. Since putting the few mods i have on and increasing power i am now at around 450ish maybe 470 on the odd occasion.

Im yet to find someone to beat me for the sheer amount of black crap on the back of their car I wash it and its filthy again within 1 day though

[leech_]

I can vouge for that considering i was dumb enough to stand like 10 meters from it last dyno day and get absolutly covered in shit

I put an old school SAFC in my car a few weeks ago (push button type).

My car was previously running 187rwkw with the AFRs sitting at around the 13 mark (pretty dangerous).

After the SAFC install and tune the car put out 206.6rwkw, the AFRs went down to 12 and the powercurve was alot smoother.

Worth the 360 your going to pay IMO.

Then again, different cars get different results.
