Hey - got my SAFCII fitted & tuned today! Very happy with results. Mech. told me I should have used the Power FC instead - I said he shoulf pay me the two grand!!!

Anyway, I had a massive (read BIG) overfuelling problem on standard settings and the graph rose to about 90rwkw then dived at 4500ish rpm (falling below 70 rwkw) only to recover to 93ish at high revs. YUK!!! I knew that "boost was more than BANG...whimper...splutter!

So, at the same boost (10psi) it now looks (and feels!) the business with a smooth curve all the way to 6600ish rpm and 137rwkw. At 5500rpm it's now making 51 more KW! ! ! ! ! ! Money well spent it seems. What a relief!

The air-fuel ratios were previously dipping below 9.0:1 from 4500, and all the way to redline. With ratios now in the 13:1 to 11:1 range through the boost range, the engine can finally breathe!

Not bad for less than $800 altogether, including fitting and tuning!!!

The peak figure seems a little low compared to some of the guys on this forum, but I have tuned my previous car on three dynos, and the last was on this guys. My little NA VTEC produced 95+rwkw on two dynos, and then 77rwkw on this guys, so I've got a feeling it's one of those "conservative" figure producing dynos. Maybe I've got 150rwkw - who knows? - and who cares now that I've got the whhoooooossshhh back - and the punch wherever and whenever I need it.

PS wonder what 11psi feels like....hmmmm....just for a blat, maybe!?!

The SAFC will not change fuel economy of a car, cos at low rpm where the car spends most of its time, the ECU is running closed loop (and the SAFC's low throttle map corrections are cancelled out in the end) Only at WOT if your leaning it out some gains are to be had, but WOT chews fuel anyway!!! My fuel economy got worse when I got my SAFC, because I put my foot down alot more now :)

Hehe, you make too many assumptions about my driving style :)

But yeah, I agree you won't much difference on the highway cycle economy. But with a lot of stop-starting, it can be slightly improved with the S-AFC, especially if you have your foot down a lot.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
