OK guys here's my problem

I tuned my SAFC2 got rid of R&R but still maxing out my afm voltage and getting a cut at about 6200rpm in 5th.

I can't lean it out anymore on top because the ignition is becoming too advanced so my question is can i use the Q45 afm(already got one) and tune this in not allowing ign timing to go too advanced and not allowing it to reach the 5.1V to get this cut? (cuts out for just a sec and then comes back again)

RB25DET

Stock turbo 11psi

Spitfire coils

Safc2

CAI

3"exh

mine did, just over 6,000rpm on the power fc. I had a picture somewhere of the voltages hitting the ceiling.

I tuned around it though, as i Had a powerfc.

But if yours is maxing out at 6200rpm in 5th, why would you need to bother fixing it? Do you do circut work, or do you like racing on the streets above 230kmph?

i dont think your Q45 will work because your ecu wont recognise its signal. your SAFC doesnt have the capability to convert the Q45's signal to match the ecu's (i may be mistaken).

looks like you're going to need to upgrade to another EMS or buy an SITC to go with your SAFC to retard timing up top as you adjust your voltages.

actually that does raise an interesting question

Why on earth is his tuner... tuning in 5th?

wtf :)

I get it 4th sometimes too when it's colder an when it happens it registers high level of knk on the safc -- 150+ which has me bummin out!!!

So is it possible to get around this with the q45 afm and safc2 combo?

The issue is that the output voltage of the safc is hitting 5.1 v so fitting a q45 wont fix it. What afr is it running when it gets to 5v? just before it cuts out. You can certainly pull a couple of deg of base timing to allow furthur leaning of the mixtures which will reduce the chance of hitting the cut.

Afr's are approx 11:6 and ign timing @ 20* Anything more than 20* and i start to get knk on the safc2

If i pull out a few deg say -3* this now means everywhere in the band will now be decreased by 3* right?

My tuning pts are as follows:

RPM IGN AFR

2400 15* 12.4

2800 14* 12.3

3200 20* 12.1

3600 26* 12.0

4000 24* 12.0

4400 16* 12.0

4800 15* 12.0

5200 17* 11.9

5600 17* 11.8

6000 20* 11.6

6400 20* 11.1

6800 20* 11.0

Are these timing values acceptable and how does it compare to a pfc tuned 25 with similar mods?

The ride pulls sweet but has not been dynoed yet. No knk unless i hit that fu@ked up cut or the limiter!!!

You could still lean the mixtures out to 12:1 but if your getting knock then back the timing on the cas 2degs and see how you go. Are you sure the base timing is correct - be aware that you need to check the std ECU data to do it properly as it has idle ignition control - which means it varies timing based on desired idle rpm.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
