safety...

yeah, thats the other possibility i guess, running to rich and just flooding the plugs so they get clogged easily. Although i would have thought it would be leaning out. Actually Cyrus: why *are* you trying to go above 10psi with stock cooler and stock ECU = badness.. summer will hurt you.

well this not only happens at over 10psi, on rare occasions it happens around 7-8 psi, under open throttle conditions, meh I dont really want that, be good if I could turn the turbo off for a while as i will be riding to work for a couple weeks seen I want to pay Beau off as fast as possible.

Damn petrol being>$1/ltr, sucks to own a turbo car :P

search function is my freind:

In my opinion the big advantage of the SAFC 11 is the ability to tune part throttle A/F ratios separately from full throttle A/F ratios. With earlier versions the tuner had to compromise, eg; too rich at part throttle to get full throttle OK. This affected fuel economy if you compromised rich and risked engine damage if you compromised lean. With an SAFC 11 you can have a bit of cake and eat it too. Not all the cake though, that's full ECU (as in Power FC) territory.

The SAFC1 's have great extrapolation though, so the lower number of load points is not as big a handicap as some make out.

Skylines run closed loop, therefore if you don't boost the car the AFR's should be 14:1 and won't use much petrol:D

Yeah I am running a turbosmart bleed valve boost controller and after this thursday i am going to turn it down as low as i can go, which is 7psi according to our local hero, i didnt really understand what all this talk about wastegates and dunno really how turbos work, so I didnt argue with him :P

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
