hey guys!

Just came across this on ebay and for $35 it's got me interested ITEM just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? good or bad?

apparently this is how it works "It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition to compensate producing more power. In many cases fuel economy is increased too. Power is increased by up to 15BHP and torque is increased significantly. "

On an R33 they claim: "Nissan Skyline R33 GTS + 15BHP"

so what are our thoughts lads?

You = about to waste $35

Advice = don't buy it

Lesson = decent, SAFE performance gains are not that cheap. Search forums for real solutions that offer increases, not a 'magical' device.

Old news :P

R33GTST's don't have inlet air temp sensors. :sorcerer:

So how does it go about "telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold" ? :P

:D cheers :D

I would not trust anything that adjusts afm reading or computer reading of intake air flow. Unless of course it was a fully programable computer.

dont stuff around wasting money on cheap go fast ideas, save up and make your baby fly!

Who said you couldn't get decent and safe power upgrades for $35.... that $35 boost controller from SAU was one of the first things I bought, up until I sold it not a beat was missing!!!

:P :P :D :D BOOOST :( :( :( :(

I think that was the only exception, every other power mod has been in the hundreds of dollars :(

the safc is an airflow meter signal bender, it alters the airflow meter signal. this device is correctly setup to do this and does this in real time. the ebay mentioned hack is merely a resistor that always offsets the signal (air temp signal - which 32/33 gtst do not have) regardless of outcome. the safc is a piggyback afm signal bender

Air flow meters (AFM) measure the air entering your engine is mass, same as a Mass airflow meter (MAF).

IF this Device does what it says i can't see it being anything but bad for the running of your car;

you assume colder air is more dense than hot air so at the same throttle opening you get 'More" air than at hotter temperatures, So if your ECU did adjust fuel to suit the extra air would actually not be there at all, So all you would have is really rich running all the time which is bad.

Some dickhead will buy it though!

Everyone drop him a message telling him the rb20/25's don't have inlet temp sensors. Possibly point him in the direction of this thread.

I did a while back, it may have been this bloke, the web page sure looks the same. He wrote back telling me he has a work shop and I don't know what I'm talking about and that the rb20/25's do indeed have an inlet air temp sensor.. lol

Its the new polarizer, all they need is a pic of Brockie giving the thumbs up..

Nearly ended his career last time, maybe it'll finish him off this time..

ahh memories

      Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps

      All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4

      The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.

      I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
