I have an RB25DET, mods as listed below:

Full turbo back exaust 3inch - 3.25inch cat back with magnaflow cat (650cfm)

Walbro fuel pump (yet to do voltage mod).

Garrett GT30R Hybrid turbo kit, in a hiflowed rb25 turbo housing (toit like a toiger).

FMIC, turbo 2 afm metal pipe, POD, CAI (not enclosed).

Stock injectors, stock afm...

Is an SAFC Suitable for tuning my car at this point for me to reach a good safe solid 200-205kw?

I'm also looking to regain a bit of economy, as atm im only getting around 260-280km per tank. on 98ron bp ultimate, never used any other fuel or will ever use any other.

Please tell me if an SAFC will be suitable for this. I know I am limited by the AFM and injectors but i want to get the MOST out of the stock stuff for when I get better stuff or a suitable engine management system becomes available to me.

Thanks,

Paul.

260 a tank, so you're losing about $20-$30/tank

Buy the ECU you have on the list and think of the money you're saving on fuel as paying it off.

Stuff the SAFC, it may do what you want but don't bother.

Looking at your list :

RacingHart Type CR 18' Wheels - CAN WAIT

Sydneykid Handling Kit - CAN WAIT

Bigger Injectors - CAN WAIT

Z32 AFM - CAN WAIT

EMU Unit (Haltech or Apexi) **** Do It Now ******

Subtle Body Kit - CAN WAIT

Respray in "Midnight Blue III" - CAN WAIT

Rebuild with go faster bits - CAN WAIT

Hello 450kms or more per tank and shit loads of power

Yep, safc should be fine for your current target as your going to be restricted by your afm and injectors anyway. At least you'll know your engine is running the right afr's rather than um'ing and arr'ing to weather the stock ecu will cope.

The safc won't require that much of tune either as you'll probably only need 12psi to push the 200rwkW mark.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
