not true

just cause u tune the AFRs doesnt mean u get better fuel economy.. ur engine is working overtime, more revs, resulting in quicker injecting of smaller mixures of fuel..

Yes it is. If everything is exactly the same, you drive for x period of time at y revs with 10:1 ratios you will use a certain amount of fuel. You do exactly the same thing with 12:1 ratio and you will make more power AND use less fuel. What do you mean the engine is working overtime? more revs? Im talking about the same scenario where your driving style doesn't change.

Of course you are getting worse fuel economy if you have a bigger turbo, a bigger turbo means more air and more air means more fuel. Use some logic next time you reply.

I hope my post was read properly, the main reason I would look at the NEO is because of the fact that PFC has gone End of Life and in 6 months will not be $1000/unit..

Also tuning costs more for the PFC as it takes longer especially from scratch.

Personally, I don't need a PFC.. I don't have different injectors or turbo and am not chasing the dragon trying to get high power.. I'm just after getting my car out of <10:1 AFR which is what the SAFC will be able to do at a reasonable price + tuning..

THAN maybe i'll change over to the PFC or a different fully programmable ECU.

So has anyone used the NEO, I believe it now has 16 points rather than 12 which should help..

Remember when you tell your ECU its at a different part of the fuel map, its also going to think its at a different part of the ignition map, so you'll be grabbing a little more advance than before.

More advance as you get less fuel... just gotta be real careful not to go for too much to quick.

I'm probably going to get an SAFC even tho i'm one to say initially NO go. But if you grab one at under 300 second hand, its worth it just as a fuel saver and a little smoother driving... i don't intend to make my car a street racer.

When i get keen for any performance at all, or even more boost, i will want ignition timing control also, so full ecu.

I see it as either the cheap option ( like only using FPR's and base timing ) , or the "my car is all but stock, just giving it a little tidy up" option.

how to adjust and lean out the safc??? i want to know and adjust mine...i think my fuel is to rich...

Take it to a tuner and get it done on the dyno, its not safe to do it yourself even unless you have a wideband O2 sensor, even then you have to be careful.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
