Hey guys got my car tuned today with my recently installed safc 2. Running a turbotech v2 boost controller.

Some strange things going on here

1. AFRs lean initially even though SAFC 2 was setup for no correction

2. I set the boost the night before on 11psi but first run shows levels just under 9psi and then it goes to 11 again after. Is this the tuner removing it initially to minimise risk of problems before tuning.

3. Graph on initial run is much smoother than the final tune the hump at the end is my main concern, is this just the limit of the safc adjusting fuel and effecting timing or bad tuning or something else.as.i notice the boost drops off then almost mirroring the peak hump.

It just seems weird to me besides the AFRS are better.the boost, power and torque curves look better on the initial run.

at the end of the day you have given the guy a piece of shit solution to a problem.

when you tune with a safc you can only move the afm voltage up and down, its never going to be good like a aftermarket ecu.

stop complaining, and buy a decent ecu. congrats you have now learnt your lesson, just be glad a new engine is not needed.

i am not complaining saying "why isnt my graph perfect" i know what an SAFC does and that its not as good as a standalone, but they have been proven to produce good results for my modifications.

So if any people with previous experince having SAFCs it would be most appreciated.

Basically the SAFC is just removing the R&R and changing the mixture slightly. It is not optimising the modifications therefore the end result is whatever the engine combo spits out.

Also Anthony is a tuner and a very capable one.

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
