Hey

I have the chance to buy a apexi SAFC 2nd hand for $250, just wondering if they are worth having? do you get a power gain? are they hard to tune? and what are the advantages and disadvantages of these things?

My car is an R33 with

exhaust

pod filter

BOV

ARC intercooler in standard location

standard turbo running 8psi low and 12 psi high

standard computer

suspose to have about 180rwkw at low boost (just bought it and have not had it on the dyno for myself yet)

Thanks for any help! :)

it certainly fixd the "hesitation" in my car.... bastard wouldnt gently go over 4000rpm had to give it the boot, and it also make mine run alot nicer... and u can jak up the boost a bit more.

To fit $50 and to tune $100.

I've got a 96 GTST S2 auto and I'm lookin at buying SAFC11 for $300 delivered.

Got the following -

3" turbo back

hi flow cat

12psi

pod + CAI / partition

ran 160rkw at Nizpro in Bayswater. Which is apparently OK ?? nice even power curve. BTW they dont recommend SAFCs.

Lately i've had to drop the boost back to 9psi cos of the hesitation between 4-5500rpm. Changed plugs (NGKR Copper BK6E 0.8 gap) are these suitable ? I've visually checked the coil packs and did the night test - nothing.. Looking to glue them up the coils soon. With the SAFC should i get approx 180rkw ??

Called a few places around Vic today and only one place tunes them and their asking $400 !!

Mickr33 do you tune them ? or does anyone know of a good place in VIC

thanks in advance !! love this place

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
