Hmm so after some pondering ive decided to go for a S-AFC II, FMIC and fuel pump. And then in the near future hopefully a slide high flow.

From what ive read in old topics the SAFC can't really support bigger injectors, but would support a high flow yeah?

Still undecided on what pump to get, Walbro is deliciously cheap but people seem to have had issues with it. Was also going to get a Bosch 040 but aparently its crap and noisy :D

the SAFC isnt going to handle the high flow turbo very well. you'll be able to tune it slightly, but you'll be missing out on somewhere between 30 and 50rwkw from the lack of an ECU once you put a aftermarket / hiflow turbo in. Plus stock injectors cant cope with much more than ~225 rwkw.

The SAFC isnt a bad option, as it will hold its value, so when you put in an aftermarket ECU, can sell it for same price you buy it. Nothing wrong with the Bosch 040 if its installed properly. can just hear it over exhaust at idle, and you cant hear it at all once you start driving.

As i said in my previous post however, make sure you have set aside money for a clutch, especially if your still running stockers.. it aint gonna last long. might just be able to squeeze that into your 2k budget along with fmic, fuel pump and safc2.

You can always sell the safc should you want to change the ecu down the track, but it will be more than adequate for the standard hi-flow and won't loose you 30-50rwkW as stated earlier. In the dyno results thread people are running hi-flows with stock ecu and achieving 200-220rwkW, it's just a safer idea to get it tuned with the safc.

Find a genuine walbro pump with the higher L/min rating or a Denso pump from Kudos motorsport. 040's are a good pump put they're just physically to big for the r33 tank and if it's touching one side of the tank it will be noisy as hell.

When you say a walbro pump with the higher L/min rating, which one would that be? Only ones I see on ebay are the 255L/hour jobbies, the Walbro GSS 341. That the one your talking to or is there a model up from that? I WOULD like to go with the Walbro mainly because they seem easy to source and are one of the less expensive pumps around.

One is a GSS341 and the other is a GSS341HP, most dodgy traders sell people the GSS341 which is fine for standard cars, but for modified and larger capacity cars the GSS341HP(High Pressure) is required.

Sorry by l/min I mean't l/hr... brain lapse :) .

Hey not hijacking the thread but let me know how u go as i have similar mods to you and am in the same boat.. got full exhaust, boost controller and got same sorta money to play with. But i have splitfires and a h/d clutch as well:)

So the safc's are actually worth it? And i (and Lachlan33) would feel a noticeable difference with the addition of a tuned safc and a bigger fuel pump? I'm also debating whether to get a justjap or a hybrid cooler for mine.

Walbro's low pressure pump in this design is part number GSS315. GSS341 is the high pressure variant.

get swaybars and some coilovers, and maybe some castor rods if the budget can stretch that far ;)

Then you can corner faster and out run all the guys with stock suspension and 200rwkw :)

what he said, but forget castor rods :nyaanyaa: or enkei rims ;)

Whats the most important thing to you?

Is it "bling/rice'?

Is it better safety (the standard gtst needs some help with traction)?

Is it straight line accelleration?

Is it reliabillity?

Depending on how you answer these sorts of questions you will get some slightly different answers.

Remember that search is your friend.

If you are handy with a spanner the $2k goes alot further.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
