yeah isnt that basically what ur after, a richer mixture which allows the car to run cooler and benifits a few other things and in return gives u more power, or am i miss informed and to get more power u need to go leaner??

i read a whole article on it and it said that richer was better for more power and cars come out of the factory lean for better fuel efficiency, the whole thing didnt really make sense to me as i used to ride motor bikes and the way to get more power out of the was to lean them out so it was all a little confusing for me.

ok im definately getting one, i found the new version (version II) on an american website and it will cost me about 540 dollars to get it here. I got a quote to fit it at 100 bucks and a mate of my dads is gonna dyno it and tune it for me, all should be done in 3 to 4 weeks hopefully, let u all know how it goes.

yeah actually i know someone that has one on their non_turbo car, it gets rid of the airflow meter and you can get a good gain in power etc. if you set it perfectly! i am considering one myself so if u get one b4 me tell us how it works out. bware though if u set it lean, do not rev to red line, the power will come in much earlier and u risk breaking things at high revs!

Mine is set to High Throttle but dont know what that means.

on the later series, blue screen edition, the safc's have two interchangable fuel settings.

i guess it could be for things like good fuel bad fuel days, summer/winter temperatures, power/economy.

no, i have read that, they have 2 selectable and modifiable (is that a word) maps these are high and low throttle, i would say high throttle was the last thing that was tuned and or the only thing that was tuned. At a guess...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
