Fair enough

I no each car is different i was hoping to help you and others further just need base figures to work with

but never mind thanks anyway

All good!

As mentioned in PM, im pretty sure im at my upper limit RE: SAFC tune. As from that point on, no matter what we did with timing/airflow adjustments, it never got any better. Seemed to be the sweet spot. And id rather fiddle with it on the dyno if you were to forward a bit of info. And i wont be spending any more on it untill i can afford /ask the mrs if its ok/etc etc, to buy a G4 :D

GotRice? is all about the US imports :blush:

So you're going to skip the GTSLink idea?

Te he he. Too Troo!

Not entirely... maybe just a G4 GTS link :D If i go with what Keith said, getting the later one would be a better way to go.

Speaking of.. can he get them?

Fair enough

If you're in Sydney, I can have a play with your SAFC for free and get the A/F to what you want. I used to run the older SAFC in my 180SX.

But saying that, I've hopped on the band wagon and am running a power FC

Its cool mate thank you but my cars not even in the country.

I have info given to me from Apexi regarding settings for different states of tune plus other setting from other cars set up on dyno

I just thought i could help but its all sorted via pm

Thanks

I would say speak to Dan first. Adrian is going G4, as well as possibly others :D There could end up being a group buy, so don't go running off without consulting TLR HQ.

I am quietly horrified at peoples reliance on S-AFCs, and even more so the whole "Base numbers to work from" concept. If someone made a robotic arm designed to give cut-throat shaves, but having it hard coded to suit the face of the guy who created it - a base to work with as most people have roughly the same looking face... would you use it?

Much the same thing, except your engine is the one who gets pwnt.

something to start with would be simple bending the signal around 5% under full load if you have a standard ecu with more boost. but if you cant figure that much out for yourself you really shouldnt be playing with it

So you're saying do this regardless of knock or AFRs? And you're saying who shouldn't really be playing with it...?

5% is no where near enough to make it too lean when running higher boost. standard ecu AFR's dip into the 10s under full load most of the time, even if it was holding 11.5:1 5% correction would bring it up to 12:1. even 12.5:1 isnt gonna hurt a standard motor. same goes for timing, 5% would move it up 1 row tops, worst case scenario you'll end up in knock maps which barely have enough timing to run, let alone knock.

of couse you'd atleast use premium if you were going to do it.

Did you read my posts?????

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
