Hey I know a lot of people on here are fans of the power fc, but I wanted to know if it was possible to put on a high flow or aftermarket turbo and run it with the safcII? Obviously you can bolt on whatever fits pretty much, but what i mean is can you make good power out of for example a highflow with an safc? eg 220-230rwkw? Will the stock injectors cope at this level also?

Thanks in advance

Yep, you can run a highflow with only a SAFC, and get about 210rwkw, any more then that, and youll need a z32 AFM, injectors and better engine management. PS youll need to upgrade your fuel pump if its the dtock 10year old one, and do the fuel pump wiring mod

Some people claim to make 230rwkw with a safc, even with an SITC, i would say that is the absolute limit, have you considered upgrading to a greddy emanage ultimate?

Yeh i have thought about that as well, does it pretty much do the same job as a pfc whilst being a piggyback? It's just gotten to that costly stage where more power from here on starts to cost big bucks... :thumbsup:

its very possible i got 244kw at the wheels from a rb20 with safcII and bigger turbo. safc only modifies the airflow meter signal going into the ecu. so u can only tune it within the scope of the standard fuel maps. it does not change the ignition timing directly, as u can do with a power fc

Rb 20's seem to work slightly better with safc's due to them no having as much R&R built into the standard map. Unfortunately a SAFC does change the ignition timing directly, as it makes the ecu access different load points, and it usually effects it in the wrong direction, usually you hit detonation problems before you can lean out the mixtures enough.244kw, was that using the standard AFM?

yeah thats true rb20 computers seem to be a lot dumber than rb25 ones. yeah that was with the standard afm.

Wow thats a really good result, If i could do that on my rb25 i would be there for sure! What boost were you running for that?

Yeh i really REALLY dislike the whole r&r thing, anyone knnow if it goes away completely with a e manage ultimate? Perhaps the e manage could be a good option as pfc are become increasinglty hard to find.

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
