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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
