Hey guys,

My 97 C34 Stagea RS4 auto was going fine, only averaging 15L/100kms city driving but still ok. Planning on doing the O2 Sensor.

I wired in a SAFC (the first style series 1 safc) and the car now has issues with anything over 2800rpm and more than 50% throttle.

I have wired these in to various cars a heap of times with no troubles.

I used a wideband O2 sensor to check the afr and it jumps from 10.0 - 12.2 whilst surging. (this is with the Safc settings all on Zero)

I also noticed some pinging around 5000rpm.

I assume the SAFC is faulty... Anyone have other Ideas???

I guess the options are

1. Its faulty

2. Your car has coincidentally developed a new problem

3. one or more connections are incorrect or you haven't set the tabs right for the Stagea

4. one or more connections are bad (loose etc)

If you don't already have it I have the SAFC manual as a word file or the ecu pinout if you need that.

Ok just fixed the problem, but who knows how long it will last.

Re-initialise and re enter all settings etc for sensor type etc and it's fixed!!! Im guessing it is a faulty unit...

You really need to adjust your timing as well. Here's the link in case Juzzy.melb doesn't buy it:

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
