I have an RB25DET, mods as listed below:

Full turbo back exaust 3inch - 3.25inch cat back with magnaflow cat (650cfm)

Walbro fuel pump (yet to do voltage mod).

Garrett GT30R Hybrid turbo kit, in a hiflowed rb25 turbo housing (toit like a toiger).

FMIC, turbo 2 afm metal pipe, POD, CAI (not enclosed).

Stock injectors, stock afm...

Is an SAFC Suitable for tuning my car at this point for me to reach a good safe solid 200-205kw?

I'm also looking to regain a bit of economy, as atm im only getting around 260-280km per tank. on 98ron bp ultimate, never used any other fuel or will ever use any other.

Please tell me if an SAFC will be suitable for this. I know I am limited by the AFM and injectors but i want to get the MOST out of the stock stuff for when I get better stuff or a suitable engine management system becomes available to me.

Thanks,

Paul.

260 a tank, so you're losing about $20-$30/tank

Buy the ECU you have on the list and think of the money you're saving on fuel as paying it off.

Stuff the SAFC, it may do what you want but don't bother.

Looking at your list :

RacingHart Type CR 18' Wheels - CAN WAIT

Sydneykid Handling Kit - CAN WAIT

Bigger Injectors - CAN WAIT

Z32 AFM - CAN WAIT

EMU Unit (Haltech or Apexi) **** Do It Now ******

Subtle Body Kit - CAN WAIT

Respray in "Midnight Blue III" - CAN WAIT

Rebuild with go faster bits - CAN WAIT

Hello 450kms or more per tank and shit loads of power

Yep, safc should be fine for your current target as your going to be restricted by your afm and injectors anyway. At least you'll know your engine is running the right afr's rather than um'ing and arr'ing to weather the stock ecu will cope.

The safc won't require that much of tune either as you'll probably only need 12psi to push the 200rwkW mark.

but then again, thre will always be someone in the market for a second hand safc... remember this. they still sell. its like a good entry point, no doubt that u guys might of had one to play around with before u went with the EMU's.

    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻 
    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
