I was thinking of getting one of these..

but was wondering if it's really worth the money for the increase in power?

My current mods are Apexi Pod Filter, T-piece boost control @ 12psi, and after market bov. Can I expect a decent power incease with these mods?

I'm soon getting a FMIC and full turbo bak 3" exhaust.

Would I notice a greater increase after these mods?

Thanks for the Help

in laymans terms an safc will allow u to run more boost more safely combine with fmic and zorst gives u a substantial gain in power over a stock car.... full ecu would be better but for the $$$ safc is a nice option

yeah b4 u get SAFC get the FMIC and 3" zorst, otherwise u r going to have to pay for 2 tunes, and yeah 12 psi on stock cooler / exhaust, is asking for trouble

Took my car to Rajab Performance (melb) and he told me 12psi on the stock turbo is fine just to be very careful it doesn't go over or spike. At the moment it peaks to 12psi then sits on 10psi. Not a wise choice on the stock cooler and exhaust?

yeah 12psi on the stock exhaust is not very efficient, and in fact i'm surprised you feel much of a power increase over the stock 7psi?

with a 3" trubo-back exhaust the boost increase will yield a lot more power

12psi on the stock cooler is about at its limit so you could pass up on the FMIC untill after the SAFC if you want, but it should also be on the list for peace of mind that detaonation due to high intake temps is not going to be an issue

cheers,

Waz.

    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
    • That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
