Fuel Controllers

[dangtstr32]

Ha everyone,

Just wondering if anybody out there could help me make my mind up on which fuel controller to get at the moment im running about 12 pound boost on a stock rb20det with a k+n flat filter and i think its putting a ridiculous amount of fuel in it and not giving me the power i deserve. I've been looking at the Apexi SAFC2 which looks like a cheap option www.apexi.com i know somebody who has a turbo xs fuel controller that runs off a game boy which is also good and works well and u can select four different maps for that but i dont like how u cant import it that one is on this site www.turboxs.com.au and the mother of all fuel controllers a power fc a 'stand alone' fuel controller i like the idea of not 'piggy backing' the old ecu and starting from scratch but its definitely more expensive. Especially for the rb20det because u need to buy the AP special type power fc which turns out to be about 1100 without the controller.

Yeh so if anybody has any experience with fuel controllers for the rb20det let us know.

Cheers

i would of thought an SAFC would do fine, lots of people use them and have great results from what i understand.

how will a wolf go on a tiptronic R34...

I hear the R34 shifting logic is separate or someshit and the car is not as smooth when aftermarket management is added..

should i wait for these V4's or just get a safc 2 or a safc neo

Sorry for taking so long to reply i thought knowone would reply because i put it in the wrong part of the forum, i think? but i have bought a SAFC (the first one) controller and installed it already into the loom(those wires are tight in there) and mounted it where the ash tray was i didnt mount it in there i mounted it on the outside sort of, hard to explain looks good but. As for the second hand ones coming i guess im abit late keep the other guys updated though. I got mine for 150$ which im happy with off my dads mate from work so very happy. I was just playing with it then and made it about 10 percent leaner on the full scale and noticed the engine ran smoother then i went to about 15 percent on full throttle range and ran smoother but i noticed a loss in power at about 3000 revs so i made it alittle bit richer then adjusted the ones on the side of that to make the graph smooth and gradual, and what a surprise it was smooth as through the whole rev range. It also backfired but dad said that was common after leaning a car and i should be very careful of ping. If anyone knows much about tuning these units anything at all let us know i want to save the money for the dyno run.

nice work Daniel, sounds like your getting your hands dirty and learning a fair bit at the same time.

Id call the guys at Top Racing or even Ken at Hyper Drive if you want the best advice.. but like any good advice be prepared to pay for it.

Autos 34s can not use aftermarket stand alone ECUs so its E-manage(Fuel and ignition control) Safc(Fuel only but if you need to take much fuel you will have detonation problems with 34s as it also adds timing because its signal bender for the AFM and your telling the ECU you have less load )The best ive used sofar is Haltechs Interceptor with great fuel and ignition control and a boost control output but they cost more than a PFC but theres not much option with R34 Autos.Most shops in town inc us sell and tune any of these units.
