Hmm I dont know which is considered better but I can tell you that you can buy and install an safc for much less than $900 .... I got a brand new safc for $380 plus about $150 to install and tune.. that totals a little over $500.

I got good gains from the safc, so I would suggest going the same way... If you ever get serious about your mods down the track you are going to replace the ECU anyway and you can sell the safc to the next person...

McBoost what sorta power do you want to achieve?

Now and in the future

It might be better if you just keep what you have now, dont waste your money on a piggy back system and save that money for a full standalone such as a motec or microtech or powerfc etc

If you do decide to get a safc, buy an emanage instead...a much better piggy back system!

aiming for 200rwkw

i got rb20det, 3in mandrel exhaust, pod, 600x300x76 fmic and 11psi, triple puck brass button clutch.

so now needs the air/ fuel ratios tuned a bit

whats a good ratio??

If your not going to change settings all the time then reprogramming the stock ecu will serve your needs easily. SAFC's are for people who want to fiddle with fuelling, where as an ecu program is more a "Set and forget" sorta thing. If you can find someone who will do remaps & tunes cheaply when you want to change something then the stock ecu is great.

Otherwise do all your mods at once and remap it once :)

I paid $250 for my SAFCI (should be able to pick one up for $300 easily), a mate fitted it, and can easily be tuned in less than an hour ($150).

Who do you know that does the remaps? I'm considering that option next so i can fit bigger injectors and AFM.

shit $300 is cheap, if someone can find me one for $300 ill pay em $50

rolin imports does a chip and tune for around $400

but i will be changing bits and peices here and there so need to have adjustable settings.

where can i buy a safc, one on ebay atm for $485

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
