^^^^ I'm with not so stupid.

SAFC only does fuel maps (so to speak)

I belive the Chip allows for timing changes as well.

Speak to TOSHI from these forums.

Many people have used him with great results.

Very good pricing too.

PS: 16psi on rb25 turbo hey...

Starts taking bets on how long till it go kaBLAAAMOOO

trevvy: please forgive me for hijacking but u just posted what i was goin to post...

can anyone give any insight on a unichip compared to a safc II? both can be had at the same price (roughly). safc can only do fuel whilst unichip can do fuel and timing.. are they worth it ... i want roughly a 15+ kw gain ..

edit: i heard toshi also does a remap/daughterboard for r34? anyone have any experiences? i'm interested as i want to get it tuned by the top secret guy coming to australia mid May

reason why i'm not goin powerfc is due to my car being a tiptronic

apparently u can run more boost thru the rb25 turbo on the rb20 because it isnt flowing as much air to create the same boost, big thread on it i will find it tonite

thanx for the prompt replies

Trev

I still wouldn't push it past 1 bar.

1bar on the track would be pushing it though.

I know of a R32 RB25 turbo pushing 14psi that made 190rwkw. :cheers:

For a street car, go with the chip.

There is not much that cant be altered.

eg.

LEVEL 1: speed cut change/eliminate, rev limit change, boost cut change/eliminate.

LEVEL 2: fuel map adjustment, ignition map adjustment.

LEVEL 3: rpm scale adjustment, load scale adjustment (for higher boost levels).

LEVEL 4: injector size re-scaling, AFM re-sizing.

Its all do-able, if you can fit an eprom!

Yes, the injector latency (sometimes called void blast off time) can be adjusted.

This is part of the issue with the 550cc RX7 injectors, the other is they may not be exactly 550cc/min. Hence, the injector setup parameter may need to be further tweeked for 'best fit'. It may take a few trys but do-able.

Can the SAFC2 do the following:  

1. speed cut change/eliminate

2. rev limit change

3. boost cut change/eliminate.

4. And is it possible to have both the chip and safc2 on board?

Suggestions follow;

1. No

2. No

3. No such thing as "boost cut", there is protection from excessive airflow. AFM voltage benders such as SAFC, DFA. EManage etc can be tuned to lower the AFM voltage signal to the ECU. Hence it doesn't know about the excessive airflow.

4. Yes.

Hope that was of some help:cheers:

It feels like basically you guy's are saying the SAFC2 is useless, What kinda gains can be had with one does any one hare have some real experiance with them?

What gains/losses have been seen. Cause lets face it they are a much cheaper alternative to aftermarket EM.

( I know that aftermarket EM offers alot more control and tunability but 1500 to 2000 for supply fit and tune, Compared with 500ish you can see why there would be a market for it, ( If there are gains to be had.))

I have an SAFC2 in my car (series 1 R33) i got my timing and the SAFC2 tuned and only 1 psi boost increase resulted in 36KW at the wheels increase. But to get the SAFC2 running properly without fuel cutting they had to install a FCD.

Take a look at my dyno graph. Note the dyno graph is just to show the increase its not what my car is actually making at the moment. Cheers

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
