Hi guys,

Just installed SAFC I today by mechanics, dunno if they installed it correctly, since when i go into 'Monitor' --> '4 Channels' its shows the revs go up as i accerlate, also the air flow and correc. BUT NOT 'Trottle'

Throttle is always at 0% is this correct?

The main issue here is i want to reset the settings completely or change everything to value 0?

so that my car doesnt act so spastic, when i accerlate,

At the moment when i acceralte-moving to certain RPM's the car fully jerks (reminds me wen i first learnt manual) and sometimes the car seems like it will stall when dropping its REV's

Very dicculty to drive

Can some please help

where should i set the values to 0.

and dont say get it DYNOED as i will not untill i have an exhaust!!!

thanks

when i change it to "04" "04" the cars rev starts droppin then the car turns off.

i figure '04' do to the table for my vechile. and i read the manual

"If. Sensor type is 'Hotwire' ...............

"if Sensor type is Pressure'...........

nothing beside it, looks like a bad pdf scan? a blur line in the pdf.

page 28 of the pdf

Yeah.. make sure you get the sensor type correct. I remember dicking around with that setting at one point. If its incorrect basically your engine check light will stay on and wont start. If you do a search on here you should be able to find out the base settings to at least be able to drive around until you get it dyno tuned.

THR should visible on the screen (% to full floor accelerator). Even if its just in ACC mode (e.g. not running), you should be able to press your foot to the floor and see the % THR change. If its not changing then its possible your mechanic forgot to connect the correct line to the ECU.

I've got an S-AFC I as well, so if you want the base settings and still having trouble PM me and I'll go turn my car on :P

omg Throttle % does not rise as i accerlate, only the airflow % & rev %

guess mechanic f*** the wiring? =

ill pop the ecu out later and take a look.

yes please with standard settings, just in case i left anything out

dont do it with the engine running...  just turn the key on until the reds come on in the dash...  perform the settings... turn the car off and then start it...

hehe thx,

i remember when i went to pick up my car, my hands got itchy so i played around with the settings, but was only meant to check the Monitors menu at the red lights.

somehow went to ETC and selected a wrong sensor

Revs dropped and my car stalled right in a Hwy (80 kph) road. :)

had to jump start it, as the battery was raped when trying to start it 20 times.

When connecting my SAFC-I this week we noticed the manual doesn't actually tell you to connect the throttle wire. I had the SAFC-II manual as well and had to use that to wire the throttle. For some reason it only reads 85.8% foot flat to the floor though.

mupkant: went out to check my SAFC(1).. sensor type should be definitely "hotwire" (referring to the AFM I think). Check your voltages in "sensor check" while the engine is off. Sensor1: should be reading a reasonable value (around 1v or something). Sensor2: should be reading around 0v (mine was fluctuating between 0 - 0.1v). Again, THR voltage should increase as you put foot to the floor.

Definitely sounds like your problem is the lack of the THR line.. check the loom near your ECU to see whether its wired up.

neil:se -> go into the "sensor check" mode off "etc" and check the voltages.. mine at 100% THR (foot about 90% to floor) is about 4.35v. I'd check you're connections, maybe its dropping a bit of voltage due to dodgy solder job, etc. It could make a difference to overall effectiveness if the THR is out a bit.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
