Safc

[xxx_25L]

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.

off topic but what is an SAFC?

I'm assuming not an Apexi power FC?

what does it do exactly

all i know is it lets you controle air fuel ratios

i picked up about 30 rwKw but my car was running VERY ritch. I have an SAFC II

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..

yeh i have bought a safc last week. i am hoping to get up towards that 200 rwkw mark. hoping for somethiing above 180.

getting a service then installing it and then time to go up on the dyno

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.

haha yeh mate decided to go the safc. decided to opt out and go the budget way and up the payments on my loan and get it out of the road and also start saving up some cash for future house. power fc wouldve been great but didnt have the dough.

yeh looking around the albury area for a tuner. anyone had any experience with anyone around that area??
