Heyaa all,

Im gettin my SAFC II Tune really soon, and read soo much bout a/fuel ratio, lots of people giving me all sorts of figures

from 11.5:1 - 12.5:1.

So pretty simple question,

I want my car to be on a safe tune, so if i were to go out on a cold nite and it lean out a little, it'll still be safe. ( I go out at night heaps )

Mods are as followed:

R33 S1.5

Stock Turbo @ 10psi ( no boost controller )

3" Turboback with no resonators

Pod with shield ( no cai )

Greddy Front mount

SAFC II

Walbro Fuel pump

So from what i gathered from the forums is this wat the a/fuel ratio should be:

Full Throttle - Below 4500rpm - 12.5:1

After 4500rpm - 12:1

Lo Throttle - 14.5:1

With these a/f and my mods you guys recon i will make 190-200rwkw ? Reliablely ???

I never seen partial throttle been tuned on a dyno before ? I only seen WOT power runs, So how do they do it ? Just wanted to know for knownledge sakes.

Any help and advice would be really greatful !

keep in mind you may not get a 12:1 on a safc. you may have to settle for an 11:1. its about finding the balance with a safc.

the more fuel you have to take out of the map (or the more you bend the afm signal), as is the case with most 33's, the more it screws with your timing aswell. take out too much fuel and your ecu may retard the timing too much and you will get knock.

yeah i got an apexi neo afc..

ive had mine tuned wice to get it right, but then i lowered the % of the low throttle..

to increase fuel eco...lol but got it all good..

i get lik 400-500k's outa my tank..

but i change on high-throttle around 2500-3000-3500rpm.. i made 0 % which means no change by the afc/neo

on idle my car is -12% on the a/f ratio %'s..

but its a great product and recommend..

but stil get an aftermarket ecu...

really depends on your usage .

street use then 14.7:1 - 15:1 cruise and 12.5 :1 for full throttle

if using on track then 11.5:1 - 11:1 for full throttle .

if its too lean at 12.5:1 on the track under full throttle conditions than you will produce to much heat and cause undue pinging and under bonnet temp will be significally higher. (known from experience )

but yes you are on the ball park with the ratios that you where given

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
