Hi all

Briging up an old post

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...20Z32&st=60

I got a question.

I am looking at upgrading my turbo and have a Central 20 ecu, which Dr Drift can now re-chip with new maps. So that is what will hapen down the track.

However for now, I know the SAFC II will accept a Z32 AFM values and convert these to stock rb25 values for the computer to use, well so it says.

My question is, if i run the 440cc injecotrs, and Z32 and a new turbo, the AFR should be close due to the Z32 leaning out the mixtures and the injectors ritching them up.

Either way, i don't want to get a PFC, i'll get my ecu rechiped, but for now, would this work?

Any idea if the above project worked?

So you are saying will it work before you get the ecu rechipped?

If so, you should be able to work out the amount of correction required by combining the ratio of the injector sizes and then the voltage/air flow outputs of the afm. I highly doubt it would come out to be around zero (which is what you are asking i think).

An ecu remap should be able to correct for the z32 afm and different injectors.

use a Nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator and yeah you'll be fine

can go up to around 480cc with a safc2, z32afm, fpr etc.

I was going to get soem deuscthwerks 450cc injectors, but cant be bothered.

save yourself all the crap, guess work and time and just buy a real ecu

powerfc is perfect and the car will drive like new once fully tuned

youll never look back on a properly tuned car

Cos i can use my current ECU and program a new chip, plus the PFC is not what i would call a great computer.

This is horspower on a budget, working well so far. LOL.

Let us know how you go, I have a S-AFC II sitting next to me right now so I will be interested to see what can be done with it

I can understand the need to do it on a budget as im doing that myself at the moment but you really should think about a PFC cobber.

Think of it this way:

Dr Drift remap = $350

dyno time = $180 an hour

plus if you have to go over there to him

OR

if you have to pay dyno time to check the tune locally and have more chips sent.

I just cant see the sense really myself but good luck to you and your efforts to get more power to keep up to the mighty RB20 :closedeyes:

why on earth would you want a powerfc, when the stock ecu can be tuned to do exactly the same as what the power fc can and more e.g. retain things that the powerfc doens't have.

A powerfc tune will cost you 5-600.

A remap will cost whatever around there.

why pay 1k for a pfc and then pay for a tune, when you can skip paying the 1k?

Ok i hate disagreeing or sounding like a cock head...

but stock ecu has worked very very well for my mods and my car.....

Highflow injectors z32 all the goodies and a stock ECU with a CEF11E Remap.... rather cost effective...

$50 origional tune

$50 dyno time to check afms which were perfect...

= 230rwkw

another $50 for a retune as i did some mods and wanted a couple of changes...

perfect tune, perfect fuel ratios, bit more power...

soon comes cam gear - $250ish

+ $50 retune

= 260rwkw

still very under the $1100 + tuning that a Power FC would have cost....

makes just as much power, got a readout on my dash with my ECUtalk, responsive etc etc

of course wouldnt work for everyone but its been very sucessful for myself!

The limiting factor i see with a remap is that you have no way of monitoring knock levels, you cant pull timing out/add timing where needed in an emergency, you are limited to who can do the work (for Wog there is no one in the Tassie currently) and each and everytime he wants to make changes to the cars set up or tune then it means getting another chip sent, putting the car on the rollers and checking it (if its not right or needs tweaking then you have to wait on another chip) and then back on the rollers!!!

Im going from a remap ECU to a PFC for a few reasons, i have an awesome tuner here that is local, he is doing mates rates, has great work ethic and takes pride in each and every car/tune like its his own.

At the end of the day its different strokes for different folks and i know the Wog isn't the easiest guy to change his mind once its set :O

The difference between that though is that you weren't charged to modify the stock ECU (putting the IC socket in) and the cost of the tune :O

what do you mean? ive got a mate who is an auto elec, that soldered a cradle in to suit the aftermarket chips, this wouldnt cost more than $30 at any auto elec though.. and ive paid for all of my tunes so far...

Hey knock levels can be an issue for some, your right about the tunes..

each to their own my friend, its just another side of the story

What i mean is that you paid $50 for your tune, Sam charges alot more than that for his map/tweaking plus dyno time. The thing is i know Wog and i know how he likes to fiddle with his car which he wont be able to do 100% as he is limited with the tuning options of a remap and no one doing it in Tassie which means he's relying on someone else to post down chips to him then going to a dyno here to check it.

He cant just make little tweaks here or there freely, he cant knock a little time in or out if he's out the track etc.

Anyway enough rambling from me, im not saying that remaps are rubbish or having ago at Sam or his work, im just looking at it from point of view and think personally that a PFC is a better way to go for me, that may not mean its the same for everyone else though :O

I agree with you GMB, you know me, compulsive tinkerer. I am going to keep my SAFC ii eaven after i get a remap, simply because it has so many usefull readouts.

The other reason i want to keep a remap, is it has high and low octame maps, two different timming maps, deceleration values and a whole heap more.

Anyway, i know for now it will work with the setup i have so thanks for all the advice guys.

GMB, hopefully we can catch up on our cruise, hows the car going? Go the windows in?

Only too well hence my replies :banana:

I'll be at the cruise dude dont worry about that :O

Hopefully motor and box in this weekend and then everything from there, have a guy that is going to do a cash job to put the 1/4 glass so that saves me hassles...

What comes after that is a little bit of a secret but its going to be phat, sound a little different from the stock cat back and running on a Summers special :)

Its called "the little RB20 that could" :laughing-smiley-014:

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
