i am really surprised stel that your car was running leaner rather than richer...  every line i know that just has boltons it richens up like no tomorrow did you have a bigger turbo or something ???

Standard turbo at the moment.

The car may have had some work done to it before i bought it and was brought back to basically standard, when we installed the SAFC the wires were already cut for an SAFC. I know the guy that owned the car before me so i might give him a call and ask him.

I was impressed with the result myself....

welcome to the world of skylines and fuel consumption, I can get 400k's if i realy realy watch my foot, but normaly 300 mark.

LOL. It is still a step up from my old car. 250km to a 65litre tank. And thats if I was trying to drive econimically.

Here's a link to the Blitz R-Fit. I still haven't had any feedback from anyone using it as yet. It looks pretty similar in features to the SAFC. However I do know a guy with a 180 that is about to get his installed and tuned so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Just bought a second hand SAFC2 yesterday, pending delivery.

Been searching for ages, finally found one for sale before the rest noticed :D They're pretty sort after, everyone wants one but doesnt wanna spend the $400+ for a brand newie.

Sorry to dig up a really old thread but wanted to ask a few questions.

I managed to score myself a black SAFC2 from a guy on another forum, and it almost time to get it tuned somewhere. I am going to install it myself but wondering where fellow skyliners with SAFC's will recommend.

So for those of you who do have an SAFC, who installed it and how much was the install? Did you get dyno runs before and after or just afterwards?

I installed it myself, dead easy really.

Then took it to Ben at intune to get the tune done. He dyno'd it before and after, gained like 10kw accross the rev range and the beast uses much less fuel!

Very good results! Im considering this or saving more money and gettin a PowerFC dunno whether its worth it though

How much was the tuning of it Justin? I rang ESP and Trojan last week and both gave me around the same sort of price for install and tune. I have been recommeneded Autotech but they quoted me an outrageously high price for install tuning of it.

I have since decided to install myself, so I just want a tune done now.

Also does anyone know what dyno Trojan uses?

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
