hey fellas not to experienced with moding and what should follow what mods.

heres a list of my mods,

-bov

-big hybrid front mount

-k&n pod filter

-lareger then standard fuel pump, can handle about 400hp

-ngk irridium sparkies

-spitfire coil packs

-HDI boost controller with aircraft flip switch (cheap peace of shit)

im running 7psi low and 10.5psi high (mind you i wind my controller all the way out and i can only reach max 10.5psi high, dont know why but yeah. im spewing sold my turbosmart boost controller for twenty bucks.

anyway anybody know what best to do next?

ive read up and told that maybe power fc was the best option but i dont have that kind of money,

what is an safc and what does it do.

definately ECU. stock Nissan ECU is the worst ever.

Power FC, EMS, Microtech, E-Manage, SAFC anything is better than stock.

After that, look at a turbo and injector upgrade.

It might help if you tell people what you intend to use the car for....

.....or at least what sort of power you're after.

Otherwise it's kind of like asking someone where they think you should go on holiday, when they have no idea what you like.

In that case, sort out existing issues before you modify anything else.

Yeah, with all those mods you're going to want management. I'm guessing that your rear bar is filthy right now above the exhaust.

A SAFC is an Air/Fuel controller. It splices into the wire that the air flow meter reads from, and modifies the signal going to the ECU. By fooling the ECU, it allows you to adjust the mixture.

While not ideal (a proper ECU would be better, since you can then adjust timing as well) it would be a good start. But its also a dead-end stopgap fix - it'd be better on a light tune car with little to no mods. You can't make as much power as your mods will give you since you can't tune all the parameters, and if you continue to modify then it won't give your tuner the control they need to set up your engine properly. And since an ECU does everything a SAFC does and more, when you do replace the ECU your SAFC becomes dead weight.

I'd suggest saving up and buying a PowerFC. It may cost a lot more, but you get a lot more.
