Just got back from hyperdrive. I fitted the safc2 myself and took it there to get tuned and made a huge bloody difference. I went from 226.7rwhp with a big ass power dip, to 256.7rwhp with just a bit more boost, safc2 installed and tuned and no real power dip. AF ratios seems pretty consistant too.

It's not a huge figure, but feels like a new car to drive and a heap more power in first that you can feel. If anyones thinking about going for a safc2, go for it.. i picked mine up, D1 ltd edition for $310 delivered (5 months old) and dyno tune is about $150, (although i got mine for free thanks to the raffle door prize at the SAU dyno day :D) . Its a good step up before i go for a power fc and a bigger turbo etc..

PS.. the pink line is the dyno read out when i went on the SAU dyno day, the red is before dyno tune and black is with SAFC2 tune

What sort of mods did you have to make 226.7?

I'm currently hitting 228.3 with pod filter and a turbo back exhaust. Just picked up a fmic, going to fit in in a month or so and then an safc2. I'm really only wanting to hit 270 (200rwkw) so I'm hoping I can push that with just the safc2 and fmic.

I'll also hit up a boost controller too I think.

Obviously you did something to the car in between the SAU dyno day and the tune? Or am I just reading it wrong...

Question, I pulled a figure of 194.6rwkw (or about 260rwhp) using the SAFC2 as well... is yours a manual or automatic? What other mods do you have?

Also, my SAFC2 is a D1 Limited Edition as well... are there any special features on it that aren't on any other SAFC2? I'd like to know :D

Top results, enjoy - I know the feeling - I was like WOAH when I got my car back from the tune!

Mods are HKS air filter, 3" seperated dump/front pipe, 3" xforce s/s exhaust, turbosmart boost guage, hybrid 600x300x76 fmic. I think for the SAU dyno run of 226.7 i was running 0.6 or 0.7bar, now its on about 0.7 or 0.8ish, dont really know, and other than that the only thing that is different is the SAFC2 + tune of it. Might of been able to squeeze a bit more out of it cos its overdue for a service and plugs change, but ran out of time/money to do it last weekend, but very happy with results regardless.

I think thats it. Best few hundred bucks i spent.

Satanic: the only difference other than the safc2 was the boost level i upped a bit, other than that.. the same. And yes.. its manual R33 S1. Im pretty sure the D1 edition is exactly the same, but its gold on the outside and black screen. Pretty sure its the exact same unit.. just a bit ricier :D

OOPS my bad...

And HEY! there is nothing wrong with cable ties :D I got one on my FMIC too, holds the piping back from hitting my fan blades (just a tiny little one though)

Ever since I started playing with cars, I have found that cable ties are GOD!

hey Pulp. I got mine private off these forums.. You see them from time to time for about that price. Keep your eye out. I'll let you know if i see one for around the same $$

EDIT: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=93841&hl=safc

A guy advertised this 2 days ago for $270ono .. i reckon you can get it for $250 + postage should be $12. Its the old model, just looks different and has no wheel only buttons, does the same job minus the knock sensors, which i guess arent really needed anyway cos i heard the ones on the safc2 arent that great anyway.

$260ish + $150ish for dyno tune at hyperdrive (or whatever they charge), best upgrade you'll get for $400ish

Just got my car tuned at hyperdrive on tuesday too.

Pretty happy with the results, I got 265rwhp, with exhaust, air filter, high flow turbo, and safc2

Went down to the drags for the first time ever tonight too and pulled a 13.99 :(

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
