Guys! Anyone know how much power gain can I get after installing and tunning of SAFC on R33 gtst running 10psi of boost. Some say 10-15 rwkw. Is that true?

hard to say. it will adjust urr AFR and hopefully give u more usable power..dunno about 15kw although when I installed and emange on mine it gave about 10 from memory before and after,

around that.

The real gain however is in the mid-range/response which is not measured in outright power :laugh:

gotta find me an SAFC somewhere!

I gained an extra 29 kw from the SAFC. Also eventually added an SITC to control the timing.

I have now ditched both and run a power fc. Power was only another 5 ish kw but as said

previously it's not in the overall power reading but in the fat arse power curve. Nigel from

Racingline tuned it and got me another 15 kw at around the 5000 mark. The power delivery

from the SAFC to the power fc is not comparable. Its much more smoother and pulls much

more harder. Please think about the extra $$ to get the power fc because it is really worth it.

But at the end of the day it's your $$$. :laugh:

A possible reason why some may achieve better gains than others with the SAFC comes down mainly due to the fuel pumps condition.

One who is running an origional stock fuel pump may crank the boost up to 11psi or so make 190rwkw and run near perfect afr's.

Another has replaced his stock fuel pump with a bosch/walbro item, afr's as a result are rich on boost, knocking high 10's to 11's.

He drops the safc on and picks up 10 maybe 20rwkw depending on how rich it was.

By leaning mine off from approx 11 to 12 and dropping another degree or two in to the cas I picked up ~12rwkw.

So before jumping on the safc wagon one really needs to look at how their car is running at the moment, if it is indeed rich then by all means there are gains to be had.

But as stated... PFC all the way, my immediate thoughts when reversing the car then idling off slowly was wow.. the car/acceleration actually feels smoother.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
