SAFC or ROM. Help me decide?

[Remix-]

Whilst my plan being to upgrade my rb20det to either gt2530 or 2535 to achieve my goal of 300rwhp, i cannot decide how i should manage it. I have been told by many others that using an SAFC combined with a adjustable fuel regulator will see me through. But then i have also been told i would be better off of getting a remapped rb20 ecu (lumpy rom).

A cost effective option is rather appealing to me, but most importantly i do not want to compromise the reliability and safety of my engines internals.

Any advice?

Thanks

remap!

Im hoping for comments from users that can tell me why they recommend a remap over the safc, not a poll. :-)

have seen quite a few very cheap SSAFC's recently...

one advantage of SAFC is its adjustable when you change something rather than a re-map which needs to be changed after each mod

but re-map of ECU can alter timing curves as well can't it? much better results i would have thought.

i have always been told that the SAFC is more of a 'band-aid' wort of mod

good luck,

I always thought the rb20det's standard ecu timing was pretty decent anyways (decent enough for 300rwhp)?

dunno

remember SAFC can only adjust the a/f ratios at 5 set points in the rev range so its not really flexible...

but its adjustable at home (maybe buy an a/f ratio gauge?) if you be careful...
