on the dyno we were checking fuel ratios and up to was getting towards the lean side. 12.5 i think the reading was. i dont fully understand how it all works but i have told the bloke i dont want to boost it up and have a fast car that lasts a couple of months. my car dosn't feel frinnished at the moment. only feeling the pull of the turbo from 4000rpm onwards. mechanic wants to get it back on the dyno and check fuel rail pressure, timing etc to make sure car is running safe. he was talking about fuel cut defender and other stuff that is going to go on the stag. what is a SAFC and what does it do and how much does it cost because it sounds like i need one?!!??!!

I've got a GT30 turbo on my series 2 stag and have only recently got a 3" full turbo-back exhaust fitted and now the turbo hits full boost around 3000rpm or maybe even less. Really pulls nice and hard with almost no lag. Before I had the exhaust fitted the lag was very noticeable but now its only ever so slight. One reason is that the turbine now spins more free and another reason is that the engine breathes better and therefore builds revs quicker.

I'm getting a safc2 fitted this week. Basically they just sit between your air flow meter and your ecu and modify the voltage that the ecu sees - enabling you to accurately tune your Air/Fuel ratios. Instead of running rich or lean, the SAFC can correct the AFR graph so that you're running much safer and more economical. You will also see improved performance as a result of your car being more efficient.

Hope that helps. It does have limitations but provided your AFR's aren't too way out then you should have great results with it.

Personally I'd get one of these before a fuel cut defender. Probably depends how much boost you're planning to run.

this might sound real stupid at this stage...but what is a GT30 turbo? is this a stock turbo...if so..which car? is there an advantage of using the GT30 turbo over hi-flowing the stockie ...in terms of turbu efficiency and $$$

Have a read through this topic should shed some light as to the possible advantages, disadvantages and what a GT30 is.

Cheers

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
