Turbo Uprage With Safcii

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.

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
