upon purchasing my car it came with a few goodies. one which is the older model APEXi AFC which can be seen in this picture below. The only issue with it was it wasn't plugged in and didn't even have the plug on the rear of it, it was just mounted there with the boost controller.

Ive spent ages looking on the net for the manual for it but can only find the new blue screen S-AFC and the generation 1 AFC which is like mine but has 5 knobs on it instead of one.

Does anyone out there have the same model as this and could offer me some assistance as to which wire out the back (4 in the plug ) is suppose to be which colour etc. the rest i should be able to figure out.

2 are for power and two are to go to the AFM.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Shaun

yeah, its something around the lines of +-23% from memory.

I've searched the web pretty hard and could only come across the other models. The Gen1 tells you where each colour wire is suppose to go and i plan on wiring it up how that says, but it doesn't have a diagram explaining what colour pin 1 -> 4 actually are as im lacking the actual plug. :cool:

im thinking about prying it open and seeing which wires are power etc. id assume pin1 and 2 are power, but I had better check first before sending 12v through it.

Let me give you a big tip mate. Remove it from the car and sell / trade it in on something else at a wrecker.

I had that exact same one in my car when I got it and it is vey bad to tune with. That knob only adjusts fuel over the entire rev range at a preset level.

When I had mine tuned as best as possible i made 117rwkw (few other mods) then I removed it and made 119rwkw.

Basically this is the very first afc made by APEXi and was fine if you need lots of fuel all the time or less fuel all the time but generally it will cause more problems than its worth.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
