Does Wrong Safc2 Settings Affect Tuning ?

hi guys, i just got a tune on my gtr using the safc. After two days of not starting up my car, today the car seems to struggle to start up during cold start.

I increased the airflow correction settings and this seem to help giving a more stable idle.

Doubting my tuner's settings, i ran through some settings and found out that the sensor numbers for the hotwire settings are 1 in and 1 out , instead its supposed to be 3in 3 out according to the manual.

Im just wondering with these different numerical values, does it affect the tune , such as giving wrong afr readings ? Do i need a retune ?

Thanks

one of the settings will be as you say (the hot wire type), 3 in and 3 out, for you sensor type. and one of the settings will be for the afm signal. which car is it for? gtr will be 2 in and 1 out, for two afm in and one signal out to the ecu. and for single afm cars its just 1 in 1 out.

but im sure the setting your talking about is the hotwire one. so 3 in and 3 out. and yes, if these are changed it affects your cars performace.

My car is a gtr , from what i have been told, as long as the sensor numbers are the same, it should be okay. Ie 3in 3 out, or 1in 1 out . However this might not be the case for the sensor calculation setting. But fortunately that is correctly setup before the tune.

The sensor numbers will only affect the tuning or performance , if the in and outs are dffierent. This is what was explained to me by my mechanic. Does any one knows about this ?

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
