Hi guys, my mods are as stated in my sig. Recently i had my safcII apparently 'tuned' and i would have assumed that in the higher revs especially, reffering to high throttle mode, that the correction would be made to make the car run leaner rather than richer. I found my car was hitting a fuel cut or something at around 10psi on cold nights which never happened before. So i checked the setting of high throttle and this is what i found.

1400 -3%

1600 -16%

2200 0%

2400 -1%

3400 +3%

4000 +11%

4600 +13%

5200 +17%

5800 +6%

6400 +16%

7000 +10%

7600 +10%

Now would this explain why i am hitting this fuel cut? cos the ecu now thinks its getting even more air than it rwally is?? Unfortunatley the 'tuner' never provided me with afr's or anything but you would assume with the mods i have and standard management that the car would already be runnign hella rich... like 300 km's per tank (fairly heavy throttle at times though :) ) Do these settings seem right for the mods i have? - i would have expected (-) correction in th higher revs...

See thats what i mean, you are having fuel taken out whilst mine is being put in!! i rekon the guy screwed me over- i put the seetings back to 0 correction and i reckon the car pulls heaps better.

Ur correction setting are all over the place, im assuming ur stock gyno graph is not smooth as well. This would indicate in my limited opinion that there are some other issues with the cars performance and ur tuner has just tried to band aid it by tuing the safc. I would get it soreted first with no safc corrections then tune it again. Should have a fairly smooth curve for a skyline. what conncernes me is the correctiosn u have at low rpm before 400rm, also seems like he has added fuel? which is unusalus for a r33 unless there are other issues

Personally i think the guy had little to know idea what he was doin, cos the power curve before the tune was quite smooth and the one after was all over the shop. I'm gonna get a different tuner to look at it, then go back to where i originally got it done and see just what the hell is going on - cos i feel ripped off. I wound the corrections back to zero and in reckon the car pulls better! i will not be going back to these people...

  • 1 month later...

I have had the standard tale of wow, i got a hiflow turbo, cheep. bolted on and heaps a boost but a big miss.....

installed SAFC, miss started to lessen but still present @4000 rpm...reduced the fuel..

chased that down to bad coil, replaced it and taped all ciols.

big miss @4000 gone, but small miss @5000....

booked in for dyno soon but very interested to know what others SAFC are running@

where is your Hi / Low % set?

previously my settings were all + across the rev range, never had the - correction. Until recently a tuner made it all to - corrections. On a cold night , pushing it a little, below 5k revs, my knock was 111 :S

Where is your Hi / low throttle position set?

What was the max -XX% set and and at what rev?

Sorry to be a pain but i am interested in this.

the settings you posted are a long long long long way off. The settings r33 mad posted look like a good default setup.

I currently run these settings from memory:

2000 -5

3000 -5

4000 0

4500 -2

5000 -9

5500 -13

6000 -11

6500 -14

I also have an SITC which is dialed in to give an extra 5 clicks of timing at 4000 rpm to help clear out the R&R. however it is still noticeable on cooler evenings.

Yeh i know they were thats why i was so confused about the whole thing. Anyway that was a while ago, turns out the the 02 sensor and the fuel pump were both pretty screwed when the first 'tuner' so he called himself, tried to tune it, which is why it was so all over the place and had positive correction. I took it elsewhere to get checked out and got a new pump and sensor, with a re-tune of the safc and it all runs good now. simular correction to above.

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
