Auto And Safc 2!!!

[Psymon]

So i'm doing some mods to my auto R32 to get some more power out of it. I've been looking at the SAFC 2 and i can't see any reason why it wouldn't work with an auto but i thought i should check before i fork out my $$'s!

Anyone who has had any experience with the SAFC in an auto car feel free to let me know if there will be any problems i should know about first!

Also... slightly off topic and probably a silly question but i'm a skyline newbie ... does my R32 have a fuel cut when there is too much boost?

Thanks

Simon!

there is a fuel cut but i doubt you will hit it with the stock turbo

also, from one auto R32 member to another, i recommend a trans cooler...

let is know how it all goes. i hear the SAFC works fine... after all it only intercepts the AFM wires and that's it so i don't see why it wouldn't work

i made 132rwkw @ 12psi (AFRs flat but at about 10.5:1) with my auto r32 so don't forget to post up a dyno graph for us to see!

cheers,

Warren

please search

auto -SAF-C ... covered to extreme lengths over the years and there is plenty of great info

SAFC II in my Auto 33 right here

Now i have an Monster TO4e going in and i will be staying with the safc 2 until the conversion

10.5:1 is very rich. maybe with 12.5:1 you will get about 147rwkw or sumfin

safc can adjust ratio so iz all good

As i will be changing the turbo... when does the fuel cut happen? Does the SAFC get rid of it or do i need something like Turbosmart or HKS fuel cut defender?

Also... is the SAFC fairly easy to install and use? Where i live the performance workshops only get good results on cars with carbies so myself and a couple of other import driving mates have to figure it all out for ourselves or go on a long costly trip to get something done!

You can't run both an FCD and SAFC, I've tried and failed, then took it to a shop who said it couldn't be done. They both tap the AFM signal wire and I guess it degrades the signal enough that it just screws everything up.

As for install, yeah the SAFC is pretty easy, it's just a few wire taps then an intercept on the AFM sig. You can install it yourself but tuning it is another matter entirely, since you run the risk of leaning out and going BOOM.

There's a couple of blokes out here who are pretty cluey with the Microtechs and Wolf 3D's so i'll see if they reckon they can get a decent tune for me until i can get to a workshop who can tune it properly i guess!

Any workshops in the ACT area or the Lithgow Bathurst Orange area any good with these?

fuel cut is easy to remove though with a remap chip.. but then i guess there would be little point running both the SAFC and getting it chipped.

i think its more like a cut based on airflow, rather than a fuel cut anyhow.

You can avoid the boost cut with the SAFC because it would be set to trim the AFM voltage at the top end (cos the ECU is running rich).
