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.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
