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.

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
