Help.

Here is the problem. I want a 2 stage boost controller from stock level of 7psi to 10psi, fully adjustable as i dont want to run 10 psi constantly. Now.. my question is if i tune the SAFC at 10psi of boost then when switching back to 7psi wouldnt the safc be tuned correctly afterwards?? would the SAFC makes any difference whether im running 7psi or 10 psi?

Cheers, and thanks .

the safc can swtich between 2 settings ( i know my safcii does) dunno about the safc. and i did a dyno run with 5psi difference and it didnt require me to change the safc settings, it was ok for 10psi and 15psi.

Original blue screen (not the very first one, but the one before last) S-AFC DOES NOT have the option for 2 complete sets of settings.

Its basically you tune for the high boost.. On lower boost setting, this will mean you'll generally be running richer, which is for most purposes acceptable. Its not efficient, but its the balance you have to accept.

Blue screen (yup, series 1 i guess you'd call it).. the one i have.

Basically I've run about 10-12psi high, and about 8psi low. It will run just as smoothly on the low setting, just less power and maybe uses a bit more fuel than if you didn't have a S-AFC at all.

yeaa thats what i want hippy. but pred was say the original blue screen doesnt have 2 stage settings which is safc series 1 right?

from what i know.. apexi release in total 3 different safc.

a black one (adjustable knobs) then safc series 1 (blue screen) and now safc series 2 (blue screen also)

if u are gonna have only 2-3 psi difference between your high and low boost settings, then if u tune the safc for your high setting its still gonna run preety much the same with the 2-3psi less. When i got my safc tuned years ago on high and then did a run on the dyno in high and low the a/f ratios were preety close for both settings.

Pushhead, I don't speak for everyone one, but in my experience I have never taken the car off High boost. I wouldn't bother spending the money on a duel stage boost controller. I would just buy a GFB single stage, set it at 12 pounds, the safc tuned And leave it at that. Why do you want to run low boost aswell?

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
