well the average difference between SAFC and a standalone with THOSE specific mods are around 15rwkw. anything above 200-210kw and you just cant do anything with the safc.

thing is, when you've randomly $500 you want to throw it at your car and get power the QUICKEST way possible then things like safc's and emanage look really attractive and are pretty much the ONLY option. i also did it your way, i started with an safc, then went to a chipped ecu, then went an emanage, then finally got a vipec, ive spend around $5000 just on ecu's and tunes whereas if i bought a standalone to begin with it would've been less than half that.

but this is the cycle we all go through! if someone told you to just shut up and buy a standalone for $1600 instead of going for a $200 safc, would you have listened? or would you have weighed out the $$ you have vs. the time it would take to get the $$ for the standalone and just said, "fuckit" like most do.

depends on the dyno you should make an extra 30hp

with exhaust cooler and 11psi on std ecu i made 170kw (230hp) then i installed the safcII and made 193kw (260hp)

before i got it tuned i asked the guy how much it should make and he said 30hp coz he tuned a gtst the other day and it made that, so my guess is 30hp!!

just raise the boost as high as u can without hitting boost cut which i can almost guarentee wont be any more then 12psi

mine was tuned to 11psi and didnt hit boost cut on the dyno but when i drove the car on a cold night or when the engine was still cold it would sometimes hit boost cut

oh yeh and i had NO increase in fuel economy, i was kinda expecting a differnence, still get 400km to 50L

good luck with it dont blow ya car up :)

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
