i was wondering if installing a safc will make a big dirrernce i curently have

- air pod

- zorst

- intercooler

-boost controller

- fuel cut defender

on this setup i made 198kwrw on 11 psi i was looking for abit more power around 15kw i was wondering what gains i will get from a safc and can it be used with a fuel cut defender or is it piontless

thanks

not pointless at all with your setup. The SAFC is the entry point to engine management. I'm no expert but a good tuner may squeeze 15+kw gain over the stock ECU map at a guess.

IN the old days when I ran an e-manage, only cat back zorst & R34 SMIC upgrade I had gains of that order. I was initially running the same, but stock boost of 7psi and it went from about 155-160 to 175 with the Emanage which does essentially the same thing as the SAFC.

It works by tricking the ECU into thinking it's got a different amount of airflow which than allows you to add/remove fuel and lean it closer to 12:1 AFR... Problem is, it just changes where on the fuel/ignition maps it is, so timing is changed accordingly which can cause issues..

Good if you don't have enough for a PFC and using stock turbo.. should get around ~200kw with average mods as above..

Went the SAFC after all hey?

That's OK, so did I initially and there's nothing wrong with that.

just don't pay too much for installation if you're getting someone else to do it.

If you're on a budget, ask around on the forums and get someone to do it for you.

When i sold my SAFC-II 2 years ago (?) i also installed it for the guy for a case of beer.

Bit fiddley but not too hard.

Good luck with it, and if you can, ask the tuner for a before and after printout and post it up.

:P

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
