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.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
