Ok i just brought an SAFC II off a good mate still in good condit in box for only $250! yep II not I.

The thing is, i dont even have an exhaust, still running on stock exhaust with K&N panel filter and bleeded to 9-10psi. I know this is not pratical as i should get the full 3" exhaust first. What if i install the SAFC and dyno it now on stock exhaust? Would i get a big difference or will my turbo just choke and get no difference at all?

or my best choice is to sell the safc for $400ish to invest in a full exhaust?

but damn i dont wonna get rid of the safc since it was such a good bargin, and it'll take a while to save up for exhaust =

u could install it urself now (did it myself, not very hard if u know how to work with wires), but not get it tuned. it wont hurt nething and u get cool ricey displays :) till u can afford ur full exhaust to get it tuned. it will be a waste of money if u get it tuned now

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
