Safc Ii

[Travis_morris]

hey everyone

just wondering who has one... ?

i just looked at my settings just then (just been installed last week) hasnt been tuned yet... and the knock sensor reading is up around the 120 mark at IDLE... n i dont think that this is good but i dont have a clue about this stuff ...

any help would be awsome

Cheers Travis

P.s. its running on an Rb20det in an S13 Silvia...

120 sounds high, max knock I’ve gotten is 15, usually sits around 0-8 (this is on bp premium (the silver stuff)), I will run bp ultimate once the new engine goes in. Maybe you could be running to lean? Get the SAFC tuned by someone who knows what there doing (dyno)

its currently running just on normal unleaded cause it had 1/2 a tank when i bought it...

but im really worried im gonna do damage 2 it if i run it... so she is just sitting out the back... (car has no brakes due to dead master cylinder, and its unlicenced)...

Cheers Trav

If it hasn't been tuned yet, It's best to reset all to factory settings (including knock calibration settings)

Otherwise it will read dodgy like it probably is.

Read the manual - it tells you how to calibrate knock

she needs premium

will probably ping a fair bit on crappy regular fuel

and def reset the safc

yeah reset to factory settings then set it up again as per manual.

if u dont have the manual i think u can get it online at the apexi website

maybe it is not setup properly coz its not right to like that at idle!!

timing also effects the knocking, maybe your CAS is wayy out
