the airflow meter maximum amount of airflow it can show the ecu.

0% is no airflow currently going through and 100% is the maximum amount of airflow the meter can show to the ECU. its a 0.00v to 5.00v scale, with 5.10v being the absolute max

Fancy that i just discovered that lastnight on me SAFC aswell. Interesting little tool there.

Flat to the floor, 6000rpm was reading about 75% - got pleanty more mods to go till i would need to bother with a larger AFM.

if you are maxing out the stock afm and want to upgrade perhaps its about time you consider a stand alone engine management ecu instead of piggybacking on the stocker. theres a world of great tunability locked into a stand alone ecu that you can't achieve with the safc.

400 load points to tune >_<

I've tuned around 90 of mine and the car feels fantastic and is good on fuel economy too

^ Damn you PowerFC people, i shoulda bought one instead of the SAFC2 >_<

Nah for the moment it should be sweet, does its job fine. I cant really justify spending so much more when i know im gonna be using the stock turbo for a while.

SAFC is good for a basic modded car but not so good for masive mods etc but I have seen a an safc series 1 running larger injectors for a bigger turbo on a VR4 Galant and it didn't do a too bad of job. Got it into the 12's.

So it can be ok but a stand alone power fc is by far a better chioce.

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
