How do I get around the 5thgen ECU???

 

S-AFC. That is the best way. I dont know of any other way to manipulate the ECU on readings of the MAF.

 

Fields AFC is better...





















Why? 3 different settings, Apexi only has 1

 

There are someone settings you need to setup. Low39% High 40% and the ecu won't reset.. I'll send you my doc that I put together later when I'm home..

 

 

No Doc yet..

 

What's you email addy.. shoot me a pm..

 

how much does the fields go for?

 

About the same price $300 some where around there. I paid $290 for my SAFC.

 

So you can have one setting for like NA and then the other for when your on the bottle? That is kind of cool.

True, but most always an S-AFC will do nothing for an NA car. But I get your point on how you can have all the settings to zero when you NA and then set to what your bottled settings are. But then again this is very hard to use on a bottle cause if you spray at different rpm levels it throws off the whole SFC. I always though this SFC is more geared towards forced air not juice.

Cause if you use it with juice, you have to remember to change the settings everytime you juice and on top of that juice at the same RPM level everytime to ensure you get the best hp possible.

so if you had juice, you shouldnt bother with all these things?

 

the fields is great if you want to tune your Juicy ride

 

Sounds it from his post.

hmm, so what u do is, get the fields, go to the dyno with a full bottle, tune ur car...

then when u want to run with the bottle, turn the fields on?

otherwise ur car will run "stock"?

i am a lil

 

My bad on posting twice, dont know how that happened.

I aint say no point in using it. If you read it I said it needs to be used correctly to work. Like I said, lets say you always juice at 3k rpms. And one of your settings on the S-AFC is at 3k and adjusted the a/f ratio according.

Now lets say the next time you activate the boost bottle, and then also change over to the your boosted setting on your controller, well lets say this time you boost at 4krpms, this will throw off the 3k-4k rpm range on a/f which might hurt your Whp dramatically for that moment till you spray.

I did not say the controller is worthless for juice, just a bit more work and things to remember to do like turning it to the correct setting and off when not in use and all that other jazz.

Yeap. That would be perfect. When you want to spray you turn on both the bottle and the fields and then you spray. If not spraying and chilling keep the fields off or to the N/A setting that you may have dyno tuned. But as I said earlier, if you want to dyno tune the a/f on a N/A car, you wont be doing much. Probably wont make a difference.

I dont know much about the N2O dept. Tony can help you with your answers or Mardigrasmax. I am not spraying but I know Matt was spraying and he has a different setting for track and regular everyday ride since he tuned his car on the dyno.

 

Never looks like more than a 2-3 HP gain when I see them reviewed in magazines.
