hello everybody a guy at the gym i work out at is selling a safc made by apexi for $175 bucks. Is this a good deal or should i pass on it. He said the safc are the best ones because they have more than one program and they can be adjusted. Is this a good deal and would it help my 2000 maxima with headers improve the hp. I still need to get dynoed so i can have my a/f ratio but if this is a good deal i dont want to pass on it. it is about two years old

 

did you try looking on ebay?

 

thats kinda high for afc 1 you could buy afc2 for that.
i bought a few for 100
and my afc2 for 150 shipped to my house

just my 2cents

 

this is a safc not an afc made by apexi

 

lol idiot

afc = air/fuel controller. They are talking about the safc just not typing the s.

 

Isnt it Air Flow controller? (no offense)

LInk so i dont get bashed (Click here)

Law: You still didnt reply to my PM earlier..about the thick and thing lids

 

Apex'i makes the VAFC and SAFC I & II.

Also, it's an air flow converter, by definition.

 

Edit: Cool so i was somewhat right...

 

I paid 175$ for mine, got it used to a few months ago.


ok deal.

 

I fixed my post. And no, it doesn't adjust airflow. It converts the airflow signal to whatever you condition it to.

 

IM just learning about this stuff, did some research so it's pretty damn helpful...Headers might be a go for my car..but we will see

 

It's a very raw way of 'tuning'. Much less radical than the EMU, but better than adjusting FP and/or larger MAF housing alone.

I deem it suitable for a daily driver as long as you have a way to monitor the AFR. Plus, it's(AFC) got some decent info on there.

The SAFCII has a tendency to freak out after 6k (become oblivious to anything) and has to be powered down in order to restore its sanity. This has been posted before, just though I'd reinforce that fact as I've had it happen to me. I have also seen a dyno posted on here where it was painfully obvious what had occurred (gonzo after 6k), and as well as heard from another member that also saw the dyno thread of said obviousness stated it happens w/these things(SAFCII) often.

 

www.google.com and www.ebay.com. Do some shopping around on your own.

FYI, I paid 180 shipped for each of my two VAFC-IIs. Yes, I have two, don't ask. They were both used, in great condition, and work fine.

 

lol you are funny puppetmaster i gotta laugh but you have helped me plenty of times so your still cool in my books

 

no offense but who is the idiot now

 

i am assuming buy this it could actually cause loss in hp or harm to the car if not monitored

 

cmon i know he feels u lol...

 

ok

 

Do you mean the AFR not being monitired?


Unless you change any settings on the SAFC, it will not alter anything, therefore wont hurt anything.

 

You are still.

 

yes i am referering to the afr what are you referring to when you talk about going over 6k and thinks going crazy

 

Sometimes, not all the time after 6k, the RPM readout goes nuts, and any AF corrections made are non existent.(back to stock)
