Apexi Safc/vafc

[Taso84]

Hey ppl, Im in the proccess of deciding wat comp i should upgrade to.

My car is this.

'95 GTS-t

Apexi POD

Hybrid copy FMIC

Standard solenoid grounding boost mod (always high boost mode)

3.5inch titanium Catback

Excedy H/D clutch

About to install a stainless steel Batmobile dump/front pipe.

I want to upgrade the comp for a couple of reasons.

1) Improve smoothness/driveability

2) Iron out any flat spots (dont have any as of yet)

3) Improve economy

4) Improve performance (power)

Obviousy it would need to be dynoed after the computer is installed.

Just wondering, should i be getting the apexi SAFC or the VAFC, and does ne1 know the diff. Also, is the apexi SAFC a generic item that will fit all cars or do u have to buy 1 specific to a r33? Any other comments are also welcome

Thanx for the advice guys

there is an SAFC, super air flow convertor

and SAFC II the new version, with more features, more load points.

SAFC NEO, has the SAFC II features along with Vtec controll ect.

You need a SAFC II or SAFC. I don't think the extra features in SAFC NEO are worth the extra money, i have an SAFC II, i git a brand new one from ebay for $350, made a big differance.

SAFC neo is just a VAFC and SAFC put together. VAFC are for Vtec motors.

It depends what your power goal is if your planning on sticking with the stock turbo and are happy with around 200rwkw then go a SAFC. If down the track you want a bigger turbo and are chasing more power id go the Power fc. But with prices of the Power fc these days you would be silly not to consider it.

And no they are all generic you dont need a specific one for an R33

Cheers

the safc neo has more load points than the safc2. and depending where you get it there isn't much of a price difference.

Very good answers, thanx pple. With regard to powerfc there is quite a large price diff, 300 vs 1000 dollas, (overtriple the price or is there a cheaper place to buy powerfc i havent discovered yet?)
