fitted an safc2 recently and had some trouble with it, would like to wire in a switch so it can be turned off and return to the afm wiring going straight to ecu, without having to pull apart kick panel and wiring every time. Was thinking of an on-off-on toggle switch to divert the afm signal, have it run either straight to ecu or via the safc2 at the flick of a switch. Just wanted to know which would be the best way to do it for the safc side. Would I divert the signal before it goes to safc and have the return constantly spliced, or divert the return and have the ingoing signal constantly spliced? I'm thinking divert the return signal, so the signal altered by the safc doesn't actually do anything. But not that up with wiring so open to opinions and suggestions on the best way to do it?

agree it makes no sense

either use it and install it properly

or dont install it and dont use it

but if you realllllllly wanted to do that then you would use a pair of relays on a toggle switch

my a-lsd is setup like this

Get it tuned properly for your set up and leave it as is...

I see no reason why you would want to use it sometimes and then not

Anyway there is a function on it that lets you bypass the correction made(flatten it) and the reload it by holding down the button again on one of the screens......cant remember exactly which screen right now,, get the manual and read it up

I see no reason why you would want to use it sometimes and then not

ok - not that I should have to explain myself, but, I do alot of very short trips for work, driving around 45 secs here, 60 secs there, which is hard on the battery to get charged properly....and running things that draw extra current like elect boost controller and safc drain the battery even more. So would like to be able to turn them off for daily driving where I don't need more power, and just run them for when I am going for a "real" drive. That clear it up for everybody?? :banana: As said in the original post, I'm just after help and opinions on how to wire a divert for the afm signal, as the on/off part is easy enough to sort :P

that is the most random reason for turning off a device i have ever heard

when the cars running the safc would use bugger all voltage off the alternator

i found in my 33 i have amps that run direct to the battery

these are what kill a battery in an r33

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
