Does Resetting your ECU affect your SAFC setting?

[lukits01]

Hey Guys

I asked this question awhile ago but never got a straight answer so thought I'd ask again.

I have a SAFC thats allready tuned on my R33, suppose I was to reset my ECU (i.e. unplug the battery and bleed the electrical system).

When I start my car again the ECU does a few diagnostics of some kind right?

Is this affected by my SAFC settings?

no

Nope everything is perfectly fine!

nope it should be fine, the SAFC has a memory that dosent get erased. i have only heard of one case that it did get erased after loosing power, but that was because the UNIT was faulty. You should be fine!!

Im not worried about the SAFC losing its memory

Im worried that the ECU would get false reading from the AFM (due to the SAFC) and therefore adjust its map incorrectly or something like that

Hows it going

I was thinking about getting an S-AFC II, but the thing is I havent got a full exhaust, cat back only, a Hybrid 800 x 600 Front Mount Intercooler and a Turbosmart Bleed Valve, I was wandering if you recommend finishing off my exhaust system (dump pipe and hi flow cat) or getting the SAFC-II.

Is there a great amount of difference that the AFC makes?

Another thing, what mods do you have on your car since you have an AFC.

Thank you

thx INASNT I guess I am worrying about nothing, just wanted to make sure

DezertEagle, honestly I think if you're planning to keep standard turbo and/or ECU then yea the SAFC is worthed. Im still using standard dump though Ive change my front pipe and have a high flow cat.

I bought the SAFC because, due to the high boost and all my mods the ECU was hitting the fuel/boost cut so I wanted a quickfix and the SAFC solved that. If your car is allready experiencing this then I suggest the SAFC first, if not I would finish of the exhaust system and think about where to go after that. Personally I'd like to go full programmable ECU sometime in the near future.

My mods are:

Trust MX cat-back

SS highflow cat

RSR front pipe with stock dump pipe

Apexi filter

TRUST V-SPL intercooler kit

SAFC-II

Greddy Profec B EBC

HKS 256 exhaust cam 8.8mm lift with cam gears

Bosch 910 external pump

malapassi FPR

Quite alot of mods, how much RWKW are you making?

203rwKW at 11psi

But something is wrong with the car at the moment... pinging like crazy and it doesnt idle properly so Im saving for a full ECU, my dyno tuner seems to think thats the problem
