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.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
