SAFC fixed my problem, dyno!!


Recommended Posts

i got an extra 130rwhp by adding safc and having the car tuned at SST, as others have said all my mods made the car slower untill it was properly tuned, from 130hp @12psi to 253hp@16psi (it also made 224@12psi) cant be happier

Redusing the gap of your plugs helps run smoother at higher revs

because the spark has less distance to jump standard is a gap of 1.1mm. Good idea to regap them if uping the boost. there probbly is a slight power gain to but the main thing I noticed was the overall smoothless of the engine at high revs.

so how do u gap ur plugs?

is it just diff plugs or wat?

i realli dun have a clue when it comes to this gappin plug thing!

and thanks for the info!

I've got Platinum 1.1's.

Yesterday I bought a little tool which basically has bits of metal in varying width, you insert this bit of metal (e.g. .08 width) in between the end of the plug and wack it(carefully) on something till the gap is narrowed.

I think you mean a Filler guage.

Hey Robo, nice power gain mate.

Your car must feel better now.

Just a silly question tho, if your car was originally running rich, by upping the boost wouldn't it pump in more air and making it a bit leaner??

Yes you are correct, but the AFM feels this and it tells the computer to richen it up more, so hence more fuel again. My original dyno graph shows the Air/Fuel ratios in the 10 and 9 to 1 which is extremely rich when the aim is for around 12 - 1. Currently im experiencing a little detonaiton at the top end of third gear which would probably is for the stock intercooler and/or lean mixture. I think i will be back on the dyno soon.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
