When i had mine tuned it did feel a like the power came on alot smoother and according to the dyno sheet i have it was getting alot better air/fuel mixtures and it also did yeild a decent power increase i think it was like 5 - 7 kw though i am not 100% sure.

The main reason i got my SAFC II was because with the few bolt-on mods i had the goold old ecu started doings it typical nissan rich and retard...

In saying that though mine has gone stupid its almost like its lost its settings maybe the connecting is loose who knows but it has gone back to being very rich. When i get a moment i will take it back to a new tuner to get checked out.

My car is sporting one. I found that it partially fixed the missing/flat spot problems through the high rev range and increased power due to the alteration of the previous very rich air/fuel ratios (at that stage running 12 psi with aftermarket intercooler, exhaust etc – my standard R33 computer going into super rich air/fuel ratio mode). Although I feel the missing problem was a combination both the rich air/fuel ratios and faulty coil packs (now they are painted in a pretty blue heat resistant paint and work like a dream).

I wouldn’t be surprised if I gained at least 15rwkw after getting the SAFC tuned, and the power delivery was much smoother as Leech has said above. As I picked mine up second hand for a relativity cheap price it has been a very good value for money modification providing both a good increase in power and power delivery. Hope that helps :)

EDIT: Actually from what I remember (ive got a bad memory though :P ) the dyno run before it was tuned was getting close to 190rwkw (somewhere in the high 180’s at least) and now after the tune getting 210rwkw. Quite a large increase in power…

Alittle bit off topic but does anyone know if the VAFC and SAFC are anydifferent besides the VAFC having to a control for Vtec. And could the VAFC control VCT on a rb25??

Just wondering cos i've been offered a really cheap brand new Apexi item, but I can only get 1 and not a whole bunch.

Check the VAFC application charts on the apexi website (www.apexi.com). I think you will find they will work with Honda vehicles only. They are very specific about only using it with cars on that list “Do not under any circumstance use this product for any car application other than on the applicable vehicles”. Stick with the SAFC eh? :rofl:

I just ordered one then. Got it for $300 plus delivery of $60. Thanks for the replies. Now I only have to worry about who im gonna get to tune it. Any suggestions :(

Pete at Autotech in fyshwick is the man you want to see, he tuned my SAFC, A/F ratios are a bit healthier and i gained 0.6 rwkw to boot

that sounds pretty shit to me... though i guess like most things it depends on existing mod's, engine size, how much you strap it.

When my car was bog stock i was getting like 480 - 490 around town. Since putting the few mods i have on and increasing power i am now at around 450ish maybe 470 on the odd occasion.

I can vouge for that considering i was dumb enough to stand like 10 meters from it last dyno day and get absolutly covered in shit :)

Im yet to find someone to beat me for the sheer amount of black crap on the back of their car :wub: I wash it and its filthy again within 1 day though :D

I put an old school SAFC in my car a few weeks ago (push button type).

My car was previously running 187rwkw with the AFRs sitting at around the 13 mark (pretty dangerous).

After the SAFC install and tune the car put out 206.6rwkw, the AFRs went down to 12 and the powercurve was alot smoother.

Worth the 360 your going to pay IMO.

Then again, different cars get different results.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
