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...

    • 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.
