I have done quite a bit to my FC and now that my engine is broken in I would like to run more than 5lbs of boost. I will be using a friends Wideband and my SAFC to tune with and need to know if just the SAFC will work for for fuel management at about 12lbs of boost. The motor and turbo have 3000 miles on them and I dont want to blow **** up! Here is a list of modds done to the car that are relevent to the topic:

HKS filter
3" custon TID
KnightSports FCD
BNR Stage 2 turbo
FMIC 25x7x2.5 with 2.5" piping
TB modd
No emissions, rats nest ect.
Atkins rebuild street ported
S-AFC
550primary 720secondary
2.5" DP
RB presilincer
CS 3" catback
Apex boost gauge
Autometer oil temp, oil pressure and water temp
Manual boost controler

 

Get a Walbro and port your wastegate

 

yeah sounds good to me the only thing is, is that after 9psi of boost your car doesn't retard the timing so what you may want to do is get yourself an rtek 1.5 or 1.7 chip witch actually retards timing by 1 degree for every pound of boost up to I believe 15psi. also the 1.7 is made for the 720cc secondaries instead of the stock fuel map wich is for of course 550cc injectors. This used with and safc will do wonders for keeping your car from detonation etc... You can find the chip at www.pocketlogger.com

ps. good idea if not upgraded the fuel pump do so soon and ported wastegate is a must as well.

 

OH forgot to list that, I have a Walbro 255
Also with the BNR stage 2 they port the WG to 32mm


my timing is kinda what I was worried about and that sounds like a good solution. I really dont want to go standalone yet because I dont have the money for it. The only question is do I have to use my FCD with that chip? because if my FCD is fooling my ECU then it wont retard timing right will it?

 

no you don't need the fcd it has a built in fcd. THere are a number of differant features if you go to the site I showed you it will tell you everything.

 

any one else? real world experience apreciated

 

you best listen to these guys, that chip is probably exactly what you need and it's not really expensive at all either.
The RTek Chip with an S'AFC with do wonders for your car, espically if you tune it with a wideband, just do a little looking around for info on that chip, i've yet to see sombody who bought it who was dissapointed with it.
