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!

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.

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.

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 :D

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.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
