Headers and tuner?

Ok what do I need to get to install headers and a safc2.

Wide band 02
Headers (can only find obx)
Safc2

Anything else?

Antifoulers or 02 sim?

Get a standalone unit.

Piggyback solutions are temp solutions (band aid)

Headers - Used Cattman or New OBX

Dual output O2 Sims have worked fine for me

Don't you need another y-pipe when you get headers?

A standalone for headers George really? Please don't try to confuse people who might not know your unfunny sense of humor.

If you're just getting headers, I don't think that you really need to do a tune. For my exhaust I've got headers and a 3 inch cat and catback all the way back and I've never done any tuning and it runs great.

You don't NEED a tune but if you hook up an AFR gauge you'll see that you're running very rich at full throttle and loosing power. It's better than stock but not as good as it can be. You'll pick up a fair amount of power with a simple SAFC tune.

If you're going to tune it yourself you'll need the wide band and logging software.

If you're going to have it tuned you'll just need the SAFC2.

You have absolutely no clue about anything do you? It is totally dependent on what wideband you buy. I would bet that you don't even own any of the things that you give advice about.

Ended up getting a vafc2. I know it's for Hondas but figured I wouldn't use the vtec wire. Got it for a GREAT PRICE.

Also is this what I need for the wide band O2 http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?n...057318&alt=web

Does this data log?

Sorry I'm new to this I just bought a programmed ecm for my spec v when I built it. Never used a safc before.

Other link isn't working g for some reason
