Safc2 Install And Dyno Tune ...

[damono]

Just got back from hyperdrive. I fitted the safc2 myself and took it there to get tuned and made a huge bloody difference. I went from 226.7rwhp with a big ass power dip, to 256.7rwhp with just a bit more boost, safc2 installed and tuned and no real power dip. AF ratios seems pretty consistant too.

It's not a huge figure, but feels like a new car to drive and a heap more power in first that you can feel. If anyones thinking about going for a safc2, go for it.. i picked mine up, D1 ltd edition for $310 delivered (5 months old) and dyno tune is about $150, (although i got mine for free thanks to the raffle door prize at the SAU dyno day ) . Its a good step up before i go for a power fc and a bigger turbo etc..

PS.. the pink line is the dyno read out when i went on the SAU dyno day, the red is before dyno tune and black is with SAFC2 tune

What sort of mods did you have to make 226.7?

I'm currently hitting 228.3 with pod filter and a turbo back exhaust. Just picked up a fmic, going to fit in in a month or so and then an safc2. I'm really only wanting to hit 270 (200rwkw) so I'm hoping I can push that with just the safc2 and fmic.

I'll also hit up a boost controller too I think.

Obviously you did something to the car in between the SAU dyno day and the tune? Or am I just reading it wrong...

Question, I pulled a figure of 194.6rwkw (or about 260rwhp) using the SAFC2 as well... is yours a manual or automatic? What other mods do you have?

Also, my SAFC2 is a D1 Limited Edition as well... are there any special features on it that aren't on any other SAFC2? I'd like to know

Top results, enjoy - I know the feeling - I was like WOAH when I got my car back from the tune!

Mods are HKS air filter, 3" seperated dump/front pipe, 3" xforce s/s exhaust, turbosmart boost guage, hybrid 600x300x76 fmic. I think for the SAU dyno run of 226.7 i was running 0.6 or 0.7bar, now its on about 0.7 or 0.8ish, dont really know, and other than that the only thing that is different is the SAFC2 + tune of it. Might of been able to squeeze a bit more out of it cos its overdue for a service and plugs change, but ran out of time/money to do it last weekend, but very happy with results regardless.

I think thats it. Best few hundred bucks i spent.

Satanic: the only difference other than the safc2 was the boost level i upped a bit, other than that.. the same. And yes.. its manual R33 S1. Im pretty sure the D1 edition is exactly the same, but its gold on the outside and black screen. Pretty sure its the exact same unit.. just a bit ricier

Cool, thanks for that... let us know how it is after FMIC goes in~ have fun!

[damono]

I do have one.. its uneekwahn that is installing his.

PS.. my FMIC is being held in place by cable ties

[satanic]

OOPS my bad...

And HEY! there is nothing wrong with cable ties I got one on my FMIC too, holds the piping back from hitting my fan blades (just a tiny little one though)

Ever since I started playing with cars, I have found that cable ties are GOD!

[shmiddy]

ill be sellin my safc in about a month if ya keen .. i also think the safc tuned is noticable, but i got a cam gears fitted also so might be the cam gears making it smother ahahah.

Hey Damono, where did you pick up the SAFCII from? was it a through a website or private sale?

I would really like to get one too, and if I can get one for around that price, laughing!

[damono]

hey Pulp. I got mine private off these forums.. You see them from time to time for about that price. Keep your eye out. I'll let you know if i see one for around the same $$

EDIT: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=93841&hl=safc

A guy advertised this 2 days ago for $270ono .. i reckon you can get it for $250 + postage should be $12. Its the old model, just looks different and has no wheel only buttons, does the same job minus the knock sensors, which i guess arent really needed anyway cos i heard the ones on the safc2 arent that great anyway.

$260ish + $150ish for dyno tune at hyperdrive (or whatever they charge), best upgrade you'll get for $400ish

[yummy]

Just got my car tuned at hyperdrive on tuesday too.

Pretty happy with the results, I got 265rwhp, with exhaust, air filter, high flow turbo, and safc2

Went down to the drags for the first time ever tonight too and pulled a 13.99

Thanks Damono! I'm not sure about that one on the link. I'd prefer SAFCII. I'll deff keep my eye out though.

[damono]

basically they just look different, but do the same job minus the knock sensors
