hi all, i want to get my stock r33 turbo high flowed and am wondering if i'll need a full engine management system or could i get away with a safc2? all intake mods are done fmic, pod, exhaust, bov. fuel pump is on the way but rest of engine is stock. how would it run with just safc2? anythinmg else i should know or be concerned about? :headspin:

if you alreay have the SAFCII then stick with it. It will do the job fine.

It sorta depends on what you want to do in the future i reckon. If you are gonna leave your mods at that level for ever then a SAFCII would be fine.

If you're going to do a lot of work on the engine and have high hopes to be a dyno/drag king then go a powerfc.

I'd have to lean towards full mangement, me and a friend have very simlar spec cars, and he has a SAFCII, and I have full management.

Although the SAFCII works fine, mine appears to drive a lot better, build boost faster, has a smoother power curve and more power outright. T

hat said, my friends car ain't no slouch on the street.

But its up to the gearbox and almighty dollar :P

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
