Hi there

I am after some info on the apexi safc, like how much more power would u get out of using one and can u tune the car that much more with one with standard ecu. Sorry for my ignorance I dont understand them that much. I have the following mods if that helps.

Nissan Skyline1997 r33 s2

apexi airfilter

walbro fuel pump

large front mount

dump 3in exhaust

splitfire coilpacks

atomic boost controller running 10psi

bov

with standard turbo

thanks

not sure how much power you have now but with a SAFC you can tune the air/fuel and net 250-280rwhp

aorund 200 now? assuming you dont hit R&R

but if you plan for more mods in the future then get a stand alone ecu which can control ignition timing would be better

Most cars with those mods will get between 180 to 200rwkws.

I got similar mods on my car minus the FMIC (only got a SMIC off a 34 GTT) & the coil packs (still on stock ones I think), I got 180rwkw when I got my SAFC 2 tuned at All star garage.

Also my car is a 4 speed slug auto box so theres more power loss at the transmission compared to manual.

i reckon something like a Nistune/Mines/Blitz tuned computer coupled with a SAFC is bomb, that way you have the more agro timing maps, and can still pull/put fuel where you need it!!!

why do you need safc when you have nistune?

Mines/Blitz are tuned in jap land and i dont think their suitable with aussie conditions

I used to have an Apexi SAFC and an SITC (to control timing) and they worked reasonably well but I would recommend a Nistune chip which will give you much better tuning ability for about the same money. Nistune do not make a chip for the R33 so you will have to use an R32 ecu or other and chip that. Do some searching - there have been a few threads on this topic.

If you are ABSOLUTELY sure u are not going to do any more mods except raise the boost 1-2psi the safc will be the cheapest and best bet.

U may just get a few extra max kw but the good part is that you can tune out R&R with it and make the mid range come to life

I had an safc2 along with an adj fuel pressure reg and the exact same mods listed above on my 25 and the car felt so much better to drive without that hole in the mid range

True that ^

But then again it seems pointless. A Nistune board will cost much the same as a SAFC, perhaps a little bit more considering you need the R32 Or Z32 board for an R33. You need a tune on the Nistune or the SAFC, Nistune will be cheaper to tune because it will already have a base image for your car. And then the gains you will get from the Nistune far outweigh those of a SAFC...

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
