what settings should i be running??

so far

hotwire sensor/In 4 out 4 /correction in1 out 1

lo + hi =o all the way (is this right to have the car running at standard tunning?)

throttle signal =arrow up

what am i missing ??

Make sure your ECU is securely bolted. Obviously make sure all your wires are correct.... when your car is off can you see if when you push the throttle you can see the reading?...

This all looks fine with me. Obvious thing also make sure its 6 cyl.

When the car is off A/F shoudln't read anything.

So i think its faulty ,Also one more question in the manual it refers to a ''spliting harness'' which i dont have.Ive got just the harness

hooked up are

red=ig power

blk=Ground

white=a/f signal input

ylw=a/f signal output

brown=ground(before blk)

Gray=throttle signal

green=rpm switch

not hooked up are

blue

pink (i think??)

orange

i was thinking maybe these wires need to be joined to afm signal or something ??

I dun really think you need a harness, its just to make it easier like plug n play hardware on your computer... if you know which wire to tap into, no need for harness.

Just peel of the skin on the correct wire, connect your SAFC wire end, secure it with a few twist if you're desperate but best result is solder it permanently, then finally wrap it with some insulation tape.

Have just installed mine into a R33, those colors u have are correct, works fine this end, spose you need to check the connections to the ecu. Mine did not start first time du to the harness plug on the Afc becomong dislodged during routing of it into the car. the spare wires are just left open, do not short together. You did read the ecu plug from the wire side??

stupid ***n apexi shit!!!Well its stuffed and apexi said that can not fix any faulty safc and that they have to be replaced,And cause mine is second hand no warranty!!

well i fixed them up keep this quite:bahaha:

I bought a new safc yesterday

carefully opened the box

unscrewed the safc

and took out all the internals ,and put them into my 1

then put my broken safc internals in the new safc :D

Returned it ,got a refund,free repair

Works now so it was stuffed

but the case is a bit yuk cause sumhow the safc has been rubbed off??that just proved that it had a hard life,but now its got a new heart.lol :(

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
