Hi

After much debate on boost control, I've finally purchased a SAFCII and Blitz DualSBC Spec S boost controller for my car. I was wondering what is the best way to tune the two available files on the SAFC in as i'll be installing both at the same time (no doubt with a little help)? By fuel type (ie 1 map for 98 RON Ultimate, one for 95 Premium), or by boost pressue (1 map for say 7psi and one for 12psi). Or am I totally wrong and you tune it a different way all together.

Opinions? Answers?

Cheers all, I value your inputs.

Gester:

No, as my car is a series II, i'm aware of the problems running greater than 12psi and as it's a daily driver i will probably set it to around 10psi for normal driving and 7psi for a low boost setting (possibly on normal premium unleaded).

Hippy:

As you are probably aware, the SAFCII allows you to tune in or out fuel as required. I don't think overall, there will be a huge effect of not running a boost controller without adjusting the fuel mapping via the SAFC but certainly an advantage of being able to tune the car accurately for any given amount of boost would not only make a smoother power curve but also bump power and economy up. As I am yet to install or tune either I really couldn't tell you.

Perhaps, one thing I might consider is doing a dyno run on say 10psi with the SAFC off then turn it on, get it tuned and do another. Depends on available time of myself and whoever I get to tune it.

Cheers!

Dave,

Did u have any problems with installation of the SAFC2? My R33 Series II went haywire with dyno results jumping all over and caused engine stalling. I was told that the AFM for series I and II are different hence the wiring may differ.

Did u follow the N4-C terminal drawing with HW-4 sensor type as recommended on the SAFC2 wiring diagram (which shows the same for series 1 and 2)?

What are your settings for the SAFC2?

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5鈥檚 did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 馃え馃お
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
