Are these site trust worthy and is it in australian dollars cauz the prices seem too good to be true.

not sure about greenline, but nengun is in aussie dollars and i've bought a fair few things from them, so yes they are trustworthy :nuke: sometimes they take awhile to send the goods, but they are generally good with email responses, and their prices are the cheapest i've seen! :)

just a quick question about the safc2; i was reading that they can display boost pressure so could it be used as an accurate boost gauge?

im looking at getting one from negun also, how many people are looking at getting one? should do a group buy :(

from what i have read on this site i think that the safc is realy only any good if you dont plan on modding your car to much. they wont run much bigger injectors so if you are thinkng of upgradeing your turbo later dont bother as you will need injectors as well. the reason you see so many for sale again is because they have there limits that are passed quite quickly. but they are a good unit.

another cheaper option is to get one of the Jaycar digital fuel adjuster kits.. these are exactly the same and will do the same job if not slightly better. the jaycar unit has more load points than the apexi across the board but the later moddle safc2 has a full throttle setting which is said to be pretty handy. there was a group buy on these recently and the unit plus hand controler was selling for around the $100. for the DIY king well worth it.

here is a link to some more info. there is a lot of reading but most of it is on the boost controler so scim over that and have a read of the DFC.

this is correct, ive got one installed and now ive reached my power limits with my new aftermarket turbo and now need to get a power fc, fuel pump and injectors to achieve more power..

wont help too much on economy as it is tuned to decrease fuel ratios at over 60% throttle, and most of the time u drive the car at under that percentage.. this is how its tuned on mine anyways, depends on wat kind of tune u get..

either way, i was happy with it so far, increased a bit of power and overall performance, but like i said its limited to wat i want to achieve thats why im goin to be selling it soon and purchasing either a power fc or microtech..

They are definatly worht it. I had mine tuned this morning, First run 147rwkw with map all over the place. Then we played arround with fuel pressure and got it up to 165rwKw and a good place to start, 3 hours later managed to get a peak of [email protected] psi BUT massive spikes as the boost controller could not do it's job. So backed off to about 10psi and amanaged a nice [email protected] psi.

THE SAFC II made a hudge differance, and littel by little the power came up SO i think for $350 plus tunning, well worth the money.

Mods are, SAFC II, FMIC, Dump and exhaust 3", HKS pod, bleed valve boost controller, FPR, and a new pump, mine died.

here is the proof, as you can see the boost sux.

so it a worthwhile mod then? whats the average power gain using the safc2? seems some people get 10kw and other 30-40kw.

depends on ur other mods, eg intercooler, POD, exhaust systems, turbo upgrades etc.

does the safc2 display boost and is it accerate?

no it doesnt display boost pressure..

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
