Digital fuel adjustment - Sugsetions!
My car:
86 NA (fully tuened, EU version - no O2, cat, AFM reads 0-12V)
problem is since i can,t install S-AFC so i am thinking going on this mod

any sugsetions ???

That unit functions almost the same an an S-AFC.
The hook up is identical.
In generic terms, they are both piggyback units.
Another option is a rising rate fuel pressure regulator.

The only downside on a rotary is that because its adjustments are load-based (rather than rpm-based like an S-AFC) it won't work properly with different-sized primary and secondary injectors, i.e. if you've upgraded the secondaries from stock. But this isn't a problem with NA's since injector upgrades are unnecessary unless you get into serious porting.
Why not just get a stand alone ECU?
Um, it's an NA. Not only does is not need any more fuel, it does not boost...
They don't work with 12V AFM's.

It's just an S-AFC with more adjustment points...
More doesn't necessarily mean better...
In fact, I don't see the word "interpolation" anywhere in the article, which means it requires all those load points so you don't run into trouble.

"It interpolates between the steps (ie smooths the curve of the adjustments)...
...on the subject of driveability, it is brilliant – we spent over 24 months and thousands of kilometres trialling the DFA in different cars... and if the modified air/fuel ratios are set correctly, the drivability remains absolutely factory."

More adjustable points means a smoother more accurate AFR across the board.

thx guys you helped me a lot with this discusion so i think i will go for it since there is no other way to tune my fuel curve wich is very rich in EU cars (fully tuned gets 13MPG).
i would apriciate some sugsetions on how to tune this (with wideband and dyno ????)

You got nothing better else to do so you interpret things with your own English?
Stop wasting my time.
Better yet, you go on the ignore list already, since you never offer anything useful.

Did you actually read it?

Too much of it went "blah blah blah", my brain just shut down after a while.
Though I was conscious enough to just read the important parts, but I missed that part.
Don't really care about products like this.
I haven't messed around with an S-AFC in a long time.
It's all full EMS' now...

This brings up a question that I have concerning piggybacks: What about closed loop?
Say you put 720 primary and secondary into your TII and use a fuel controller to adjust. Does the N/A ecu have the ability to control the duty cycle to get your AFR to 14.7? Or is this why most people use 550 primaries in the TII, to preserve closed loop?
And what about a N/A turbo? I understand the N/A vert ecu can run a turbo N/A conversion. Does this mean that the Vert ecu can attain Stoic with 550 primaries?

Personally I wouldn't want to go below -20% correction, which means up to 690cc/min secondaries and stock primaries on the NA ECU or up to 825cc/min secondaries and stock primaries on the Turbo ECU. If you need more fuel than that you should get a standalone or just put up with richer-than-ideal mixtures.
