SAFC or Remapped ECU

[adam 32]

ive just fitted a new fuel pump and need to tune the fuel curves as theyre rich as hell and all over the place

what would be a better option, the SAFC or a remap?

given i will be modding the car a bit in the future....

im running a bosch 910 pump and a garrett T04E with ex gate + all other normal mods (zorst, pod etc)

thanks!

Adam you will get more power with the remap but make sure he can do it for a cheaper price 2nd time around when u do some mods as no doubt it will have to be remapped once again

I'm also debating which of these to go for, and I was wondering...

Does diconnecting the battery reset the SAFC as well as the ECU?

no you can even remove the s-afc and it will keep teh same settings

some things to consider when using an s-afc you will need a boost cut defendeer if you plan to run more than 12 psi and timing changes could help you get more power.

. If your aiming for 160-70 rwkw then s-afc is fine 200 + then look at the power fc

No need for PowerFC for me, I'm not aiming for 200+ at all. I dont often drive that hard so it makes no sense!

I think 170 - 180rwkw is my target.

OK, if the settings are permanent, then I'm happy with that. Only thing is I'd like to have it in an inconspicuous position where it's well hidden! I dont want theives breaking my windows, and cops breaking my balls!

the e-manage is discrete, and for $450 is cheaper than the S-AFC with the options of upgrading it.

rev 210 tell me where I can by a emange with harness software sensores etc for 450 brand new.

[macka]

Yep put me down for $450 E-manage too

[inark]

cheapest i found it was about 800inc the harnes etc and thats not inc the software tools

[Zahos]

What about the HKS S-AFR?

How does it compare to the Apexi S-AFC?

PS- Sorry for hi-jacking your thread adam 32

[meggala]

its better if you know someone who can tune it.cause I don't

[macka]

On behalf of liddle adam hes getting a remap with any changes after that being at a lower price just incase he needs to go back later for a retune :-)

This thread is still good

[Zahos]

Well then, since we are on the topic, how about the R32 ECU's remapped for R33's, or the R33 daughter boards that are currently for sale. What do people think of those?

I am a bit iffy on them, especially the R32 ECU's remapped for R33's!

nengun flogs the e-manage for $450AUS. The harness and software are extra, but I thought this guy just wants the functions of the S-AFC. If so the e-manage in its $450 form does the same thing. Anyway you can buy the E-01 boost controller later on and do away with the need for the harness and software.

finally found them on his site... had a look before... never thought about looking in the New/Used parts

415!

Even if you wanted to use it in the same fashion as an AFC, wouldn't you still need the software to tune it?

thats only another 250 from here in australia... which makes the total 665 which is about what it is just to buy the e-manage unit itself... u do the math

no you don't need the software to tune it in afc mode.

The software allows FULL mapping of fuel and ignition blah blah blah just like the PFC etc.

[Zahos]

I guess it does work out cheap then (given that the cost of tuning is too expensive). Does any1 know tuners that are familiar with the e-manage?

I dont suppose you know then how it tuned in afc mode?
