well you won't be maximising the efficiency of your mods.

as RedlineGTR said, standard ECU isn't exactly suited to run anything out of it's stock specifications by too much...especially if you're running aftermarket turbos...

SAFC2 is sorta like the entry level fuel adjustment computer...but something like the PowerFC would be much more versatile

rob, i've got 250rwhp and my injectors (stock) are at 70% (according to powerfc) duty from memory. Is there a ratio/relationship between power and injector duty?

When I end up putting the Z32AFM on I want to up the boost to 1.1bar or so in an attempt to reach 280rwhp without having to get injectors (I have a adj. fuel reg and 600hp fuel pump).

If you have a small budget, you could stick to the stock injectors, get a bigger fuel pump like a bosch 910 (both gtst-vspec and I run one of these) and use a safc2. Granted you wont be able to play with your ignition maps, you will be able to adjust fuel in and out. The car would still be quick on the road, but if you've gone to the trouble and expense of a bigger turbo you really should put in the full ecu to compliment it.

thanks for the info rob77 & GTS-t VSPEC !

yeah i'm kinda on a budget right now because i dont want to spent too much on the car. I would still need something to control my fueling, so definately an SAFC2 is good enough for that.

I have a turbo & intercooler at the moment in my room.

The things i have to get are,

- fuel pump

- safc2

- intercooler piping

Does the adjustable fuel regulator do much difference ?

Do you think I should put in an adjustable cam gear on the exhaust side and retard it by 4 degrees ?

Thanks again all of you for your contribution ! :P

I did the cam gear, and in mine it made phuck-all difference, but others have reported gains.

Depends what power you plan on gettig, anything more than 340rwhp on stock injectors will require an increase in fuel pressure.

Rob and I both use the bosch 910 fuel pump, his is in-tank, mine is external.

    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
    • Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
