Safc Settings

[RB32]

hey guys

i have an rb20 with the following mods:

-turboback exhaust (Hiflow cat)

-Pod filter

-turbotech boost controller at .7bar

-SAFC

i had the SAFC installed by a mate but i dont have an airflow guage to tell

me weather its running rich or lean. The settings at the moment are as standard

but i was just wondering if someone could post there settings up because i will be

getting a tune in the next couple weeks.

cheers adrian...

Your best of getting it tuned on a dyno by a professional. You could do some damaged if not done right, all cars( rb20 ) will not have the same settings.

dude get a AFM gauge and get it tuned .. On the forum I think someones flogging one for $20 .. Will let you know exactly how its running all the time.. and then you can also make sure the pro is right ..

and off course update every time you get a new part

you need to be careful with the air fuel ratio guages as most of then are not wide band, to be able to see what your car is actually doing in terms of air/fuel ratio you need a wide band sensor in the exhaust and a guage that can read this, the standard o2 sensor in your car is not a wide band sensor,

pay $120-$250 for a tune to be safe, or pay $2000 for a new motor if u run ur motor too lean

i know which one i'd choose!!!

Why not find someone near you that can remap your stock ecu? can be done with r32 gtst's and would be leagues better than a piggyback fuel controller.

PFC are about 1000 bucks plus there is install, tune etc. Im not quite sure about power gains for a safc but is should be noticeable. I still have not got around to getting mine tuned yet.

[RB32]

the reason y i bought one was because it was hesitating and it missfired so i was

told to get an SAFC. after gapping pluygs at .8mm everything seems well.

i had a read on a few threads on here about tuning the safc n most ppl say they gain anywhere between 13 and 25rwkw with the correct tune.

the more the better i guess

[RB32]

well i got my safc tuned 2day and this is what came up:

Mods:

-turboback exhaust with hiflow cat

-pod filter

-turbotech boost controller at 10psi

-SAFC

Before:

max power: 130.1rwkw @ 6324 RPM

max torque: 506.7Nm @ 5497 RPM

max M.A.P kPa: 179.9kPa @4141 RPM

After:

max power: 137.2rwkw @6344 RPM

max torque: 538 Nm @5082 RPM

max M.A.P kPa: 177.7kPa @3792 RPM

he said that i gained 7 rwkw just from the SAFC and without touchin the boost

for safe reasons. He didnt want 2 up the boost because i still had the factory cooler.

Would u guys say that this was a successful tune or not?

also....

if i decide to get a FMIC and up the boost will i need another tune or will it be ok?

cheers guys...
