hey

i was just wandering whos got this in their 'line and how effective it is...

does it make a noticable improvement to hp and acceleration and how does it compare to a full computer like the power fc or microtech?

and what can be done with it...ie fuel/air fix?

does it have the ability to control boost levels? so i can get rid of my turbosmart boost controller???

cheers

Get the manuals.

The AFC is just a piggyback air/fuel controller - more like a compensator.

The PowerFC is a full ECU replacement. Given that an FC is twice the price of an AFC yet does more than twice as much I think it's a forgone conclusion on which is more suitable in the long run.

The S-AFC certainly makes a style statement. Most people think that the AFC is a temporary step up to something bigger. For $400 it's worth it just to used it for a while and then flog it off.

Personally I think that the blue screen is just a teeny bit gay - a full complement of blue screened RSM/AFC/AVC-R is even more gay.

$400 - $600 for the S-afc for around 20-30rwkw gain on the stocker. Tripple that plus for a cheap PFC (add more dyno time) and you end up with about 5rwkw on top of the S-afc (If you are lucky)

go the pfc if you are going to go mad on a tubo upgrade later and have the cash all the same.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
