safc

[ImPrOvIsE]

Hi all. Very soon now I will be getting my 3" turbo back exhaust.

I was just reading through the meggala site and noticed that the car will run really rich once this mod is done.

What Im asking is it then necessary to get one of these SAFC to control this richness or is there another way. Does it actually cause any engine damage?

I will eventually get a SAFC but prob not for a year.

No damage to the engine, but you will notice that at about 5000rpm the car feels flatter. If you wind up the boost then it will make matters worse. SAFC is a good option if your planning on increasing boost.

thanks Paul.

But will the increase in performance from the exhaust be wiped out by the flat spot from not having a SAFC? OR will there still be an improvemtn from the exhaust without this SAFC.

Bloody Cars... $$$

The exhaust itself shouldn't cause much of a flat spot, and the improvement will outweigh the loss due to over fueling:D Only if you increase the boost will an SAFC be advised.

[ImPrOvIsE]

Thanks mate. Your responses are as fast as your car.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

No problem mate, I'm always around:D

[G0DF4Th3R]

[G0DF4Th3R]

paul, u still goin down to SST later?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Bambam, Yeah, I'll be there about 5:30

[G0DF4Th3R]

[ix9]

or you can end up like me, and be an overfuelling bitch shooting flames from the exhaust and running 14.5 quarter's!

Get the AFC!!

Kym,

The real question though is:

Is it the car or the driver?

[G0DF4Th3R]

ouch...

[puckish]

Definatly the driver spitting flames now.

[N I B]

Pauls flames are gone now.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes, but at least I won't create a smoke screen for the other drivers:D

[N I B]

Girl.

So it will be alright getting the exhaust done without the SAFC although one would obviously be beneficial?

I have only seen the APEXI SAFC II's that seem to sell for $500-700.

Are there any cheaper SAFC to choose from and what are the costs associated with installing one of these.

Also, once I get the exhaust, would it be beneficial to get a dyno tune or just resest the ECU

[N I B]

Yes the car will still be ok with out the S-AFC, come to the dyno

day next month to check it out as we are testing AFRs on all the

cars.

[ImPrOvIsE]

does this testing come at a cost Steve?
