I've read that 5th gens run really rich (just incase dumbasses put 89 in) from the factory and was wondering if any recommends it for a stock or stock/wai engine. I don't plan on doing anything performance wise besides maybe a berk or pop charger intake. But, VAFC's are getting really cheap on eBay.

Also, does anyone know if there are "default" values to start with as far as the fuel map is concerned.

TIA

 

with intake only, i put down 207 hp 209 tq

after installing the safc and tunning it I got somewere around 217 hp and 220 tq.

Forgot the exact numbers, ill look them up later.

 

Jesus christ. Thats on 3.5 right? Did you throw it on the dyno or do the free rev @ rpm and smooth out?

N/m, obviously dyno. Do you remember "about" what your setting were in 1K increments?

haha, drunk edit : Are you using VAFC or AFC? Am I correct that VAFC has 500 rpm increments and AFC has 1K rpm increments?

 

There's no point in tuning a stock car.

Get some decent mods before you tune.

 

its the safc II


Its the safc, they dynoed and smoothned out the curve a bit , and also leaned it out a bit.

You cant go by my settings, every car runns diffrent and therfor you need to tune with a wideband or a dyno.


Here my dyno, base with intake only. Then with tunned safc.

 

just show tuning works! i need to get my vafc-II installed and SSIM with my headers and c/b

 

I've seen people make gains through tuning w/o headers...

 

I would do more mods before getting any piggyback.

 

Well, its still under factory warranty and its my dd so I'm not sacrificing hp/performance for reliabilty/comfort. So, I guess no fuel tuning for me

 

ya dnt get it unless you plan on doin more mods, i just did it backwords and got the safc first then the other mods
