just had an SAFC installed and tuned on my R32, made 271.6hp

my question is... what next? are there any bolt ons available to give me more power or have i reached the end of the road?

so far;

t04e turbo

front mount

bosch 910 fuel pump

all the other crap like exhaust, filter

blitz ECU + SAFC

thanks everyone!

Thats excellent news :D

Adjustable cam gears are a bolt on mod. You'll find maybe 15 - 20 hp from tuning cam timing. Nengun has light weight HKS ones for ~$185 each. RB20 can use 2, one for intake and one for exhaust cams. It'll need tuning on the dyno to setup but the s-afc won't need to be retuned.

If you're on a budget, the exhaust adj cam gear alone would provide most of the power increase (probably 3/4 worth).

For R33 RB25 ppl, only the exhaust adj cam gear can be installed cause inlet cam gear is integrated with VCT.

yeh i think ill go down this wednesday (30th) if not then in the near future. with 110rwhp more i think i can better the 14.6 of last time :burnout:

yeh adjustable cam gears i think will be the next.

anyone one which injectors will fit the std fuel rail?

im currently running a bleeder, would an EBC be worthwhile for holding boost above 1bar? (im running a HKS external gate)

wikid!

somehow I reckon you'll deinately be getting a better time than 14.6 hahaha :uh-huh:

what clutch do you have? that'd be a good thing to change, or else timing/cams/nos(:))

and if you're restricted by your management system, why don't you upgrade that?

:D

make sure you're there this wed!! I want some good videos :burnout:

tuning and fitting cost $150, the SAFC cost $150 (the older series one)

power went from 226 to 271 so 45rwhp. off boost its no different raly, the fuel curve is fine but on boost its been leaned out a little so goes alot harder there.

the problem is ive got a blitz ECU, HKS PFC which cannot be unplugged because no-one nows the wiring and its running off a MAP sensor which may screw things up. on top of that ive got an SAFC, so 3 computers:P

Where di ya get ya hand on the older SAFC....

I just bought a brand new one and a mate of mine what one...

Maby i can sell him the new one i bought and get an older one...

As the features that the new one has over the old one cant be used on my car as it is fairly old too. The only difference is the screen i recon.....

Call me if ya get get one for me PLZ 0417127768 (Colin)

which i thought was pretty damn good! and despite what some say, i rate cyphers work very highly!

yeh i got ya pms ive just been too lazy to reply! :D  ill do it now...

Would it cost the same to tune the blue screen model SAFC as the one you've got do you think?

OK so for my R33 you would advise not to get a new cam gear for the inlet. So does this mean i should just by one cam gear for the exhaust? so at $185 each then how much for installation and tuning? this could be one of the cheapest and best mods yet if it gives 15 - 20 rwhp...

is there any set backs with light weight cam gears... pros and cons??

Yeah, 1 cam gear for exhaust. It may be possible to modify the orginal intake gear to make it adjustable but I haven't heard of anyone doing this first hand. I couldn't see install and tuning taking more than an hour on the dyno.

Don't quote me on the HP gain. Basically, go in expecting drivability gains (lower spool up time) and be happy for any HP increase. Your milage may vary :-) Not aware of any cons, pro of lightweight gear is less reciprocating mass on the head -> less engery lost in turning cams.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
