oh alright, thanks for your input. usually how much should it cost to tune SAFC as im trying not to get ripped off cuz Unique Auto Sports wanted to charge nearly $1000 by the sound of it cuz they told me to go POWER FC cuz the tuning for SAFC will balance the price up and be the same in the end.

omfg $1000!?!?

go get it done at hitman, he did my pfc in my old 33 gtst.

i know bel garage charges about $250 (my mate got it done there)

hope you don't mind the hijack mate .. can anyone just explain the difference between the powerfc and safc ? are there any other aftermarket programmable ecu's for and r34 gtt?

Mate there are literally kezillion threads like this, just do a quick search in the Force Induction forum.

Hmm .. I was there today to do a dyno run and one of the guys was tryng to convince me to get a SAFC as my car's running a bit rich under load. He said he had a used one for $250 and fully tuned it would come to $550 so I'm not sure why they told you a $1000, unless they were trying to flog something else when you were there (had a spare pfc around they wanted to get rid of? lol )

To be perfectly frank, the place seems like a boy racer hell ... the tuner bloke was really nice and knew his stuff, but the general feel I got from the shop was "show us your money and we'll find something to sell you"

$250 for used? mate you got a bargain. Well like i said it sounded like they were gonna charge 1k cuz they said *eventually* it'll balance out to be the same total price, so why go for power fc.

Maybe the safc is a pain in the ass to reprogramm and it can take several tunes to get it right so $300 x several times = price of pfc tuned.

Pfc tuned is about $2k. Great if you wanna mod your car and keep doing it ... but I just can't justify that sort of cost when some people just simply remap their stock ecu and get a nice result apparently.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
