i was wondering if installing a safc will make a big dirrernce i curently have

- air pod

- zorst

- intercooler

-boost controller

- fuel cut defender

on this setup i made 198kwrw on 11 psi i was looking for abit more power around 15kw i was wondering what gains i will get from a safc and can it be used with a fuel cut defender or is it piontless

thanks

not pointless at all with your setup. The SAFC is the entry point to engine management. I'm no expert but a good tuner may squeeze 15+kw gain over the stock ECU map at a guess.

IN the old days when I ran an e-manage, only cat back zorst & R34 SMIC upgrade I had gains of that order. I was initially running the same, but stock boost of 7psi and it went from about 155-160 to 175 with the Emanage which does essentially the same thing as the SAFC.

It works by tricking the ECU into thinking it's got a different amount of airflow which than allows you to add/remove fuel and lean it closer to 12:1 AFR... Problem is, it just changes where on the fuel/ignition maps it is, so timing is changed accordingly which can cause issues..

Good if you don't have enough for a PFC and using stock turbo.. should get around ~200kw with average mods as above..

Went the SAFC after all hey?

That's OK, so did I initially and there's nothing wrong with that.

just don't pay too much for installation if you're getting someone else to do it.

If you're on a budget, ask around on the forums and get someone to do it for you.

When i sold my SAFC-II 2 years ago (?) i also installed it for the guy for a case of beer.

Bit fiddley but not too hard.

Good luck with it, and if you can, ask the tuner for a before and after printout and post it up.

:P

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
