How much power will a safc add?

[SKYL9]

hey got a 33gtst with 3"turbo back exhaust, fmic and avcr set at 12psi

last dyno run was b4 the cooler and boost controller (was running a bleed valve) and made 165rwkws

was wondering if i was to install a safc how much power would i be looking at gaining?

also how much power can a standard fuel pump handle?

i have a cat back exhaust, avcr, fmic and panel filter with an safc2 and made 180rwkw @ 9 psi so you would get a little more with 12 psi...

[knore]

I made 180.3 rwkw on 13psi without safc2 tuned,

And 189.9 rwkw on 10psi with safc2 tuned

Depending on the sort of life your engine has lived will vary the power gain recieved.

does a powerfc have all the functions that an safc has?

if so, just save up for a powerfc

Are you serious :confused: ?

Are you serious  :confused:  ?

that's what i've heard

powerfc will be a better buy in the long run

[skyr31]

Power FC will be better in the long run Rukus, it is a stand alone computer that wil control all the engine functions, where as the SAFC is just a piggyback fuel controler.

Save for the Power FC!!

i made 245rwhp without safc2 and then 243rwhp with safc2

but gained a lot more midrange

[rukus]

i was right!

ye like skyr31 said, get a powerfc

im getting one hopefully this weekend or nextweek sometime

Depends how your Air Fuel Ratios are. The more there out the more you will gain

[Anquetil]

I made 250rwhp (185rwkw) with those mods, I'd expect 180-190rwkw.

Most get 15-25rwkw gain from an SAFC tune.

rukus go to www.alldayperformance.com.au , he has good deals on power fc's and heaps of other gear

are you still running the standard fuel pump?

are you still running the standard fuel pump?

it was stock when the dyno run was done, now i have a high hp in tank pump...

if you don't plan to put a bigger turbo in or injectors and other major mods then the powerfc might be overkill and over price... you can get a second hand safcII quite cheap... if extensive work is in the pipeline go the powerfc...

[skyr31]

I hate it when you recomend. someone and get shot down like that lbfalcon!!

Did u have a bad experience or somethin, cause i've heard really good things about them....

[SKYL9]

im not planning on keeping the car for that much longer and wont be changing from the stock turbo unless it shits itself so im guessing the pfc is an overkill..

i can see where lbfalcon is com'n from tho. alldayperformance is selling them for $1350 and there's group buys close to every month for the same thing for under 1k..

is the power gain from the safc and safc2 going to be all that much diff?

[justin911]

i got bout 25kw more from my safc2. I love it heaps but I wish I had saved and got the PFC. Once the safc2 is in.. its pretty much in, and theres not much you can play with

[MYSTR33]

exact same mods on 13psi with power FC made 202.8rwkw
