new paint for the bay

[Deezus]

Thats cute <3

[David B]

paid almost nothing for it




good to have this time around, gotta figure out how to even use it

[seishuku]

OMG an SAFC2... PLEASE tell me you aren't actually going to use it?

[David B]

why not, the motor is stock, im not relying on it. i just dont want to end up in a minor leaning out issue like last time

[seishuku]

SAFC = engine death sentence.

If you want to avoid a lean condition, clean your MAFS, clean the injectors, and run a little richer of a tune. Oh, and get a GOOD wideband and a nice visible gauge.

[David B]

ive got a aem wideband, and how do i run a richer tune? just like that

[seishuku]

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator is a real easy way, but really the SR stock tune runs really rich as it is IMO.
ROM tuning is another easy DIY way too.

But please, PLEASE stay away from that SAFC, it accounts for damn near 70% of SR failures out there... Because people are dumb shits and think it's a magic power making device and allows them to jack their boost up to 1.5bar with out bigger injectors.
Most people just don't realize how an SAFC works, it does more to your ECU than just change fueling.

(I hate them with a passion BTW, as if you didn't notice already)

nismo200sx16 is runnin one on his SR setup...you should talk to him about using it if he doesnt chime in on here

im not running 1.5 bar though, or trying too

[seishuku]

Was just an example.

If the engine is 100% stock (boost and all), then you should never need one of those.
"The only thing the AFC can fine tune is how much more detonation you want."

[sam31183]

uhhh, i want less? lawlz!

[Roof]

my friend uses safc but just to monitor shit, he doesn't actually tune with it at all.  So maybe you could just do that or something >.>

[EternalSwap]

ill give you $20 for it david

need a tq wrench! that i trust

[seishuku]

Just don't get a click torque wrench, they = bad for engine assembly.
Scale type ones are the way to go, and don't forget to pick up an angle indicator!

[David B]

ive got a click type, and scale type. but they are both old as fuckk

[seishuku]

old as fuck doesn't apply, as long as they aren't broken or abused.
