deano_33 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I've got an S1 R33 gtst, So far I have cat back exhaust, pod with token CAI, 550 HP fuel pump, rising rate regulator and AVCR. Performance is pretty good, better than stock. But I want more, so I'm planning on FMIC, Dump pipe and SAFC. I want to do them all altogether but that will never happen, so I think I should wait to do the SAFC last so I only have to get it tuned once. Will putting a front mount on first (now) stuff up my air flow readings or anything????

MJ Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 It shouldnt be a problem. The s-afc will just maximise its gains, but im sure the fmic will be fine without it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29935-question-about-fmics/#findComment-608795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano_33 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Also, does anyone know the difference between SAFC 1 and SAFC 2? I know SAFC 1 seems to around for $390 second hand, and SAFC 1 is about $700 (new).

ed Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 off the top of my head. safc1 = 8 rpm points. safc2 = 12 rpm points do a search, there was a thread on the differences!

nitemare5 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Putting on the front mount now won't do any harm, you might see a little increase in power, or none at all. But it won't hurt and it makes more sense doing that first to save on tuning costs, so you are thinking right imo. On the subject of doing it all at once, i wouldn't recommend it, as you'll get used to the new power just the same, better off doing it in increments as you feel the power gain through each mod, and seem to appreciate it alittle more. Just my 2 cents. The S-AFC-2 has the knock sensor, more adjustment rpm points (8v12) and you have smaller adjustment increments of 200rpm, instead of 500rpm compared to the S-AFC 1 I believe. I just recently got my S-AFC 2 (new) through nengun, $420 this includes shipping to my door.

strutto Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 SAFCII also has 2 files for settings as opposed to the SAFC which only has 1... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29935-question-about-fmics/#findComment-609047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrage33 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hey deano_33, i put my s-afc on before my FMIC...simply because I bought it even before I fully paid for my car. The drawback was that i nearly heat-soaked my stock cooler after being so gung-ho about all that new power. Had to keep backing off. After getting my FMIC on, the car felt so much better, like it was no sweat if I wanted to push and push. I'd suggest putting the FMIC first, cos like everyone else said, there's no problem. U'll feel an increase in power I'm sure. And it'll feel like the car can do more than u think. The s-afc will be like the icing on the cake.
