Ok so i got the safc1 installed. All seems to be working fine but not really.
When i installed the safc i first initialized it so it cleared everything out. Fine. I go to start to set it up and it is already on 6 cylinder with the arrow /. So i go to set the type of sensor as a hotwire like this


i dont get the above readout, It goes straight to this readout

So im not able to set it as a hotwire!!!! What am i doing wrong. Is it broken or am i dumb.

Another thing is the display that reads how into the throttle you are i think is off. i wasnt to the floor tonight but it said i was 100% in the throttle. Now Essential1 said get in to throttle dispaly under monitor and wait 10 seconds then holdthe throttle down and it will calculate itself. I did this and sat there for 2 minutes and the throttle constantly said 0.0%. What am i doing wrong

The other problem is when i go to monitor and it has the 1234 channels you can view, i get into it and it has these displays (below) to monitor except the afl and karmen are replaced with VTi and VTo. I have no idea how to change it so i can read the afl.


Im trying to figure this out and i have played around with it so much today that i dont know what else to do. Essential1 was helping me but i just cant get to where i need to go in each display.

Please somebody help because i am regretting quickly buying this thing

Thanks for anyones help

in and out readings are referenced to car type....the Nissan maxima has a setting .....search for Nmex's stuff regarding LR Maf Housing....

i get into the in and out settings. But the screen showing to pick hotwire, karmen, pressure and flap i cant get into. As well as some reason not able to perform the throttle learn on this. Is there a help line to call at Apexi. I cant see a number on their site

I would ask for help in the all motor section of the org. there are alot of big brains that can help you or do an online chat with the manufacture of that gadget.....Is it new or used by the way?

Wait, so you have the safc 1 or 2 installed?

^^^^^^^^Those were just pics i got online to show the screens i couldnt get. I have the SAFC1 or should i say VAFC1 read on

So i just figured out what the problem was. The kid i bought it off looked like a dirtbag but i thought nothing to much of it cause the case looks good and all. I never noticed it before today but when i turn on the car the main screen on the unit says Vtec AFC. I also just for ***** and giggles looked up the VAFC wiring diagram and manual and there it is. The same exact screens and everything. SO im sure the kid had a vafc and put it in a SAFC case. So f'ing pissed right now. Now the listing on craigslist is off and he isnt answering the texts.
It works "fine" now that i know i have a VAFC instead of the SAFC i wanted.

I suggest upgrading to an s/vafc 2 I dont know much about the "1" version of each.

The S/VAFC2 just has more tuning points, is the only difference.

i was thinking of selling this. THe thing is a have the BBMAF all set to go and from what ive read the vafc isnt able to control the difference so ppl nmex have said the safc1/2 is better in this regard. Well ill sell my VAFC and see if i can get the safc2

Correct. SAFC II is better for tuning a big MAF. VAFC II is better if you want more tuning points (24 vs 12).
