#41803, "should i get an apexi safc?"


          

i am new to this whole thing, so keep that in mind when reponding. i guess please go easy on me if i sound stupid. i have turbo exhaust, injen intake, header, test pipe, 60mm tb, and 60mm intake manifold. i was wondering if i should buy an apexi safc. if so would i gain any more power. and also how difficult is it to tune using one of those computers. maybe someone has other suggestions too. thanks.

yes, i suggest you get one. try to find one for ~$200(used). It'll add 8hp to your car, but I suggest you taking your car to a place with a dyno. have them tune it. also if you go turbo and gain bigger injectors it'll really help.

only tune on a dyno with wideband o2 sensor
its a must, messing with it can cause serious problems if your not careful.

dyno costs run about 125 bucks for 3 runs with o2 sensor, tuning might be like 25 bucks an hour or so.

I want one but I think I will hold off to buy a new one. The S-AFCII will have more features and have a MSRP less than a new S-afc. Search for more info before purchase to see what benefits you more.

Do you really need it. Do you have any gauges to tell you if you are running lean or rich, do you have an EGT gauge so you can tune with out running to lean and melting things? With all the airflow you have the mods for you probably don't have the cams to move that much air and you won't really need to do much with the fuel but maybe lean it out for more power. I had cams and all the bolt ons and stock injectors weren't even close to maxed, I ran EXTREMELY rich so an SAFC would have helped me to lean out a little.
