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?

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
