Help.

Here is the problem. I want a 2 stage boost controller from stock level of 7psi to 10psi, fully adjustable as i dont want to run 10 psi constantly. Now.. my question is if i tune the SAFC at 10psi of boost then when switching back to 7psi wouldnt the safc be tuned correctly afterwards?? would the SAFC makes any difference whether im running 7psi or 10 psi?

Cheers, and thanks .

the safc can swtich between 2 settings ( i know my safcii does) dunno about the safc. and i did a dyno run with 5psi difference and it didnt require me to change the safc settings, it was ok for 10psi and 15psi.

Original blue screen (not the very first one, but the one before last) S-AFC DOES NOT have the option for 2 complete sets of settings.

Its basically you tune for the high boost.. On lower boost setting, this will mean you'll generally be running richer, which is for most purposes acceptable. Its not efficient, but its the balance you have to accept.

Blue screen (yup, series 1 i guess you'd call it).. the one i have.

Basically I've run about 10-12psi high, and about 8psi low. It will run just as smoothly on the low setting, just less power and maybe uses a bit more fuel than if you didn't have a S-AFC at all.

yeaa thats what i want hippy. but pred was say the original blue screen doesnt have 2 stage settings which is safc series 1 right?

from what i know.. apexi release in total 3 different safc.

a black one (adjustable knobs) then safc series 1 (blue screen) and now safc series 2 (blue screen also)

if u are gonna have only 2-3 psi difference between your high and low boost settings, then if u tune the safc for your high setting its still gonna run preety much the same with the 2-3psi less. When i got my safc tuned years ago on high and then did a run on the dyno in high and low the a/f ratios were preety close for both settings.

Pushhead, I don't speak for everyone one, but in my experience I have never taken the car off High boost. I wouldn't bother spending the money on a duel stage boost controller. I would just buy a GFB single stage, set it at 12 pounds, the safc tuned And leave it at that. Why do you want to run low boost aswell?

    • 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
    • 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.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
