safc tuning ? settings?

[stylingtwagon]

anybody have a base to start with for a safc on a bpt with gtx ecugtx engine running 8psi,i know my exuast burns my eyes at idle .

Moved to the proper section.


Why are you running a safc with a gtx setup? Doesn't make sence.

[stylingtwagon]

because my car run too rich at idle and too lean while boosting and i want to ajust it an balence it out an i get less than 2or3 hr a week to work on my car so time is very limited everything is hurry hurry cuz my wife hates my car and we always argue about it .i figure i got the safc for free so why not use it kinda like that monster tach in the dash everyone teeses me about .
my question is doesd anyone here with a bpt know how to program a safc for a bpt?

[Zexcort]

I have a safc 2 that I plan on running on my gtx set up too so if it will help out any at all I would like to know the same thing stylingtwagon wants to know if I can run my gtx setup with 460 injectors without the safc let me know cause I'll sell it if I don't need it...... not tryin to jack your thread but we kinda need to know the samething

You should probably figure out what is really wrong with your car before messing with an SAFC. If the GTX ecu can't handle running at it's factory boost level then something just is not right.

My thoughts exactly.

I understand maybe having to use that for the bigger injectors but not for a gtx setup. Did you try adjusting the vaf? Did you use a wideband to check it? From what I've read, the safc will fk with your timing as well so that's why you should figure out what's up 1st before going with it.

well i dont care what the safc is said to do HOLY F*CKIN *HIT I TURNED UP THE FUEL BETTWEEN 3000 and 7000 rpm 20% more and damn i got a major power gain it felt like the first day i drove boosted again i was spining tire at 60mph in third gear !!! and no i dont have small tires .it is friken sweet even still after the run i put the injectors back to 0% (stock)and recirced my bov
and my gas milige is way better and the car runs sweet now no more problems mt bpt is finally running great even still my next purchase will be a narrow or wide band .is a narrow band very accurate at all ?i mean will it even give me an idea of how its running .

Fixed lol.


And dude we're just trying to help you. Mazkid swapped over to his n/a ecu(I know you don't run the n/a ecu) and said the same thing as you "it feels so great,ectect". Its because his timing went up. Next thing you know I believe it caused him to pop his motor. The safc is a band aid according to others and you,running a gtx setup, shouldn't need any band aids. Listen to the guru's on these things.

x4 lol

there should be no need for a safc with gtx ecu and injectors

[Lex]

x5 ... lol. Had to jump in there. Without a wideband I wouldn't try to tune anything. Especially factory stuff that should work as-is

Thats cause Mazkid wasn't thinking... I have ran a N/A ecu for a long time... and no engine pops that I didn't cause myself.... :D

And if the SAFC is just a band-aid then why has my car been running really solid for the last 4 yrs with no problems??? There are more megasquirt problems that I know of than SAFC problems...

Sorry, just need to vent a little.... I hate when ppl generalize....

But back on topic, I have a map for 460cc injectors using a BP10 (N/A) ECU and a RX7 MAF. PM me for more info because chances are I will forget about this in an hour lol!

As we discussed on aim, you're running a n/a ecu,bigger injectors and bigger turbo so your safc isn't used asa band aid. Yours is a tuning tool. He shouldn't need a safc on a stock gtx setup. He isn't even running any wideband to tell if he is in fact running lean or rich. Yea burning eyes at idle will lean towards a rich burn but if he's running lean at wot and running that rich at idle then there's something wrong with his setup.

I'm not trying to rag on you style just trying to help. Hell when I put the bigger injectors and turbo on mine I may run a safc for tuning because I really believe I won't be able to get it to run lean enough. Suggestion, get a wideband and disconnect the safc and put the afpr at stock psi and see if you can get it to the right numbers by adjusting the vaf. I know with mine 1 click 1 way makes it run low 13s and 1 click the other way makes it run high 15s at idle so you really have to get it just right.

ok well i cant purchase anything for my car right now im in a money frezze so my car runs sweet my timing is fine .ebay manuall boost controllers suck at soon as i turn it up i friken loose power but when i turned it up to 11 then shot more fuel with the safc it ran sweet.personaly i dont care what the repercuchens are ive never heard of blowing a motor with just a +15% added fuel im not cranking the safc im driving it ajusting it every time untill it seems to even out theres is no problem with anything other than the fact that cheap boost controllers suck .

[smoke187]

if i remember correctly you cant add fuel with the safc
