38298, SAFC w/o turbo? Posted by optikal, Nov-27-02 01:40 AM
I am turbo'ing my car no later than May, probably sooner. I was wondering if the APEXi S-afc would work on the car without it being turbo? I mean, I would mount it and hook it up then maybe a month or two later I would be installing the turbo.

That will be OK. Actually, you could probably lean out the fuel system a tad bit with it, since the 420A typically runs on the richer side anyway.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm trying to gather up the parts that I will need that do not come with the turbo kit because I'm trying to get some of those as Christmas presents maybe, lol.

A nice boost controller would be nice or turbo timer. Exhaust if you don't have one already. Some nice gauges ex. Boost, EGT, A/F. Any of those things would be nice gifts.

If you're going to get a boost controller, make sure you ask for forged internals too for Christmas ;) Lots of us have learned the HARD way. It's a temptation most of us couldn't resist :)

One thing not mentioned on there is the Missing Link. I'm not sure on the url to find one of those, but somebody else will know.

Clearing the memory would probly not be benificial to you...just set it at 0. If you clear it you will have to re-program it again....why do that??

its not hard to set it up as a 4 cyl throttle up pressure 6 in 6 out Im keeping things on the rich side till I get my jeep throttle body which Im sure will lean things out a bit.
