well i got my car dyno tuned today with the newly installed SAFC (only version 1)

261.6hp (195kw) @ 10psi

I didn't get a 'before' graph sorry guys but the difference is extremely noticeable once you get above 4000rpm. it just screams all the way to redline whereas without the SAFC it felt very hesitant above 5000rpm.

I'm happy with the result.

My mods are:

  • Cheapo pod filter enclosed in cold airbox
  • R34 GT-T SMIC
  • 3" X-Force front/dump, X-Force hi flow cat, Trial cat-back exhaust
  • Turbotech MBC @ 10psi
  • Apexi S-AFC
  • Stock turbo, ecu, fuel pump

here is the graph...

looks like a nice curve. Just a shame they didnt do a power run 1st.

Im surprised they didnt run the car on the dyno before the tune actually, what it takes 10 seconds? Then you proceed with the tune, and theres your overlay.

That's awesome dude, well done.

getting mine put in on thursday. pretty much the same mods (rb20 actuator not MBC, and catco metal cat) as dnbosiris. excitement!

Let us know the outcome a.s.a.p!

wanna sell me ur safc? pm me :P

x2 :)

Might be worthwhile looking at an eManage Blue or even an eManage Ultimate. The blue is basically a SAFC but with adjustable ignition timing(very worthwhile). The eManage Ultimate is like a lesser PowerFC with a few less tuning options, but on a car with a few mods you won't know the difference. Once concern is that some tuners may not know how to tune the ultimate.

You can pick up a second hand eManage Blue for the same price as an SAFC, and possibly an ultimate for around $500-700. You can get them new with the harness and all software required for under $1000.

how do you it doesn't lean out your car if you haven't had a dyno?
you dont have to get a tune, just pay the $70-80 bux for a power run

GOTrice is correct, if you are going to leave the stock turbo on, stay with the SAFC2 or a neo. at a dyno meet with i was pulling more Hp than some people with power fc's on stock turbos. just get a good tune with it.

Just getting back to you guys, ran it today just to make sure everything is okay (running MINES ECU). Here is a copy, made 207rwk. The graph and ratio looks good to me but im no expert. Mods are as per my signature.

note thats a 3rd gear dyno run

it should be in 4th, you cant use that to compare against other r33s as the diff gears is different

it shouldnt matter if the dyno is setup correctly, but it does so yours is probably more like 160rwkw

Hi Guys,

I currently own a S2 R33 with the following mods/upgrades:

Front mount cooler

12 psi through turbotech boost controller

3 Inch turbo back exhaust

Hi flow panel filter

Adjustable exhaust cam gear

Everything else is stock and it made around 162kw atw recently on the dyno.

Hmm, yours seems very low for those mods.

My s1 auto pulled 173rwkw with

pod filter

12.5psi with turbotech boost controller

hybrid fmic

3.5" Trust cat back

and lots of misfire due to coil packs... (hence why dyno curve is shit)

th_dynosheet2.jpg

got a 3" split dump and high flow cat ready to go in and waiting for some coil packs... it should make close to 200rwkw with all that.

Oh btw, have you considered a remap? What is your ideal power goal?

Lets say you wanted 300rwkw in the end. Save up and buy all the parts you need for that goal, there's plenty of info on here. Buy everything you need, put it all on at once and get a one off remap. In SA most people use r32 ecu's remapped for the rb25, you loose vct but the overall gain is a lot bigger anyways.

I personally don't know that many people who have bought a PFC, did everything they wanted to and then kept getting it re-tuned. Usually they just get a proper tune and leave it. 2k wasted imo, considering a remap with r32 ECU retails around $500 these days including the tune (in SA anyways).

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
