270rwhp - now what?

[adam 32]

just had an SAFC installed and tuned on my R32, made 271.6hp

my question is... what next? are there any bolt ons available to give me more power or have i reached the end of the road?

so far;

t04e turbo

front mount

bosch 910 fuel pump

all the other crap like exhaust, filter

blitz ECU + SAFC

thanks everyone!

adam

cams, forgies, cam gears, rb26..

lots to do yet!

[adam 32]

nah bolt ons. im a uni student!!

i aint pulling the engine apart

im thinking injectors, but what sort?

cams yes, but with my management i cant run anything too extreme

[kabab]

Get some big injectors have the ecu remapped and run some decent boost 1.4bar

Thats excellent news

Adjustable cam gears are a bolt on mod. You'll find maybe 15 - 20 hp from tuning cam timing. Nengun has light weight HKS ones for ~$185 each. RB20 can use 2, one for intake and one for exhaust cams. It'll need tuning on the dyno to setup but the s-afc won't need to be retuned.

If you're on a budget, the exhaust adj cam gear alone would provide most of the power increase (probably 3/4 worth).

For R33 RB25 ppl, only the exhaust adj cam gear can be installed cause inlet cam gear is integrated with VCT.

adam its time to take it down to the motorplex again mate

wednesday night.... see you there

[adam 32]

yeh i think ill go down this wednesday (30th) if not then in the near future. with 110rwhp more i think i can better the 14.6 of last time :burnout:

yeh adjustable cam gears i think will be the next.

anyone one which injectors will fit the std fuel rail?

im currently running a bleeder, would an EBC be worthwhile for holding boost above 1bar? (im running a HKS external gate)

[PSIKO]

wikid!

somehow I reckon you'll deinately be getting a better time than 14.6 hahaha :uh-huh:

what clutch do you have? that'd be a good thing to change, or else timing/cams/nos()

and if you're restricted by your management system, why don't you upgrade that?

make sure you're there this wed!! I want some good videos :burnout:

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

great news adam_32

just curious.....how much extra power did you gain from fitting and tuning the S-AFC......who did it and how much did it cost?

with that sorta power....u should get a 13 pretty easily.

all the best

[adam 32]

ive got a daiken 5 button. i dont think ill change it, its not the best for launching but through the gears etc it doesnt slip at all, its bloody heavy!

[adam 32]

tuning and fitting cost $150, the SAFC cost $150 (the older series one)

power went from 226 to 271 so 45rwhp. off boost its no different raly, the fuel curve is fine but on boost its been leaned out a little so goes alot harder there.

the problem is ive got a blitz ECU, HKS PFC which cannot be unplugged because no-one nows the wiring and its running off a MAP sensor which may screw things up. on top of that ive got an SAFC, so 3 computers:P

[Guest nismogtsx]

Where di ya get ya hand on the older SAFC....

I just bought a brand new one and a mate of mine what one...

Maby i can sell him the new one i bought and get an older one...

As the features that the new one has over the old one cant be used on my car as it is fairly old too. The only difference is the screen i recon.....

Call me if ya get get one for me PLZ 0417127768 (Colin)

[JH32]

Adam where did you get your car tuned for the S-AFC?

How long did it take?

Also ... did you get my PMs?

[adam 32]

i got cypher to do it

they charged 1 hours dyno time ($110) for fitting, tuning and power run

which i thought was pretty damn good! and despite what some say, i rate cyphers work very highly!

yeh i got ya pms ive just been too lazy to reply! ill do it now...

[meggala]

great news adam sound ok dont strees about the the fcon the japs drive with heaps of things hangin off their ecu 270 rwhp should be plenty for now dont get greedy remember a few months back.

cheers

Would it cost the same to tune the blue screen model SAFC as the one you've got do you think?

[adam 32]

the blue screen one has more load pointswhich may effect cost as it takes longer to tune these ones. although id say they could tune it in an hour...

i reckon it took em about 15mins to tune mine! its pertty basic...

1 hour on dyno ($110 or $150 lumpy) should do it

OK so for my R33 you would advise not to get a new cam gear for the inlet. So does this mean i should just by one cam gear for the exhaust? so at $185 each then how much for installation and tuning? this could be one of the cheapest and best mods yet if it gives 15 - 20 rwhp...

is there any set backs with light weight cam gears... pros and cons??

Hey adam who exactly at cypher did the tune job? or have they got a dyno now?

Yeah, 1 cam gear for exhaust. It may be possible to modify the orginal intake gear to make it adjustable but I haven't heard of anyone doing this first hand. I couldn't see install and tuning taking more than an hour on the dyno.

Don't quote me on the HP gain. Basically, go in expecting drivability gains (lower spool up time) and be happy for any HP increase. Your milage may vary :-) Not aware of any cons, pro of lightweight gear is less reciprocating mass on the head -> less engery lost in turning cams.
