Safcii Install

[Psiker]

I'm getting one of these for xmas and was just wondering if it is difficult to install myself or am i better off getting someone proffesional to help me. As i'm getting married soon i can't really afford to workshop it so if its easy I would like to do it myself.

Thanx alot guys and girls.

edit:/ P.S i know i could search guys but im at work and the computers at my work bite balls. Sorry for SAFC thread 2 gazzillion.

Paul - come around to my place already! (ps give me my wow cds u fag!)

And i'd be more than happy to help install it, it's piss easy hey - I've done a few of the boys cars now!

[Pulp]

Now you've done it Kym! I might bother you some time too!!

[uneekwahn]

and I might just rock up cause Kym's sexy !

yo paul.. i just installed mine myself too.. Quite easy, theres a tutorial on here, but i noticed that the wiring colors on the R33 GTST ecu loom is totally different to the tutorial, other than that, pretty easy tho. I too can give you a hand if you want as im just around the corner in warnbro. I wouldnt bother paying for someone to do it. It took me about 30-45mins maybe to install, and im not exactly an auto electrician

[Pal]

how do you guys go with setting it up to get the right a/f ratios

p.s. has anyone had a go at fitting there own fmic, just got one and interested in having a look at someones car close up to see what is involved, i am in warnbro

Pal.. i'm in warnbro too. I fitted my own FMIC and SAFC2, more than happy to give you a few pointers. I got a Hybrid R33 GTST kit off ebay, and found it was pretty easy to install, but a few tricky bits that the instructions didnt tell you.

PS. you can come round and check out mine anytime, im just near the last drop. Ive just PM'd you my mobile number if you want to get in touch

As you can see by dyno graph a/f ratios seem pretty constant black line is final tune, just got it done at hyperdrive, took em about 45mins on the dyno to tune safc2. Very happy with their work

[Psiker]

awesome damo and kym thanx alot. Ill get one of u guys to give me a hand when i get the safc. It looks like with the final tune it really sorted out a big hole that you had in your power too damo. And your afr's look real good.

[damono]

Yeh.. the car is heaps better to drive. The power dip was real noticable before, but its all but gone now. Very happy with the tune

[Pal]

thanks for your help damo, looks like some fun ahead trying to fit this one!

[damono]

Anytime dude.

Tune your safc on the freeway like I did, 2am , no traffic, lean it till its pings, then add 3% of fuel, or borrow a lambada meter

easy

*note any rb25's that pop via this method are not my responsibility I highly recomend a tuner and a dyno

[mitchy_]

what about 20's?

[teejay]

20's are fine tune it till it pings, then take 5% more out of it for max power

[Sweetleaf]

That is prolly the worst info you will ever get on the net.

[N I B]

Get hold of an AFR meter somehow and only make small changes.

As an SAFC is only a signal bender for the MAF taking out fuel is done by making the ECU think its under less load,the ECU then delivers the fuel needed for that load,BUT it also delivers the timing for that lesser load meaning more timing.When im tuning SAFCs and have to make large changes I plug our Scan tool into the ECU and monitor the delivered timing often having to leave a richer than ideal AFR but that is the safest method.

[Pal]

just letting psi and damo know my intercoolers in. took 2 days of 8hrs each but got it in. not a fun job by yourself. again thanks guys for your help, couldnt of done it without you.

[damono]

damn thats a lot of time. I think i did mine over 2 days, but it wasnt solid work, just a bit of fiddly work, then break for about 5 hours

Did it make any difference?

[Pal]

that included me fabricating all the pipework (made from 304 grade 2 1/2" stainless steel) and getting a friend to weld it up, im quite sure it has increased my horsepower. done a 180 degee turn on outlet of intercooler and plumbed back into existing piping (same as psiker's) had to cut alot of the front bar out and move a few things around in front of the radiator. happy with the outcome. have to get it dyno'ed again now. do you think the safc2 will need to be tuned again? and do i need to reset the computer?
