Does anyone run a SAFC with my similar setup? What are your settings. I think the best thing would be to start there and a little rich and then tune it down till I can get it to the dyno. I need some numbers from a similar setup. especially injector sizes. w/o sizes numbers mean nothing.

I have the SAFC installed on my '90 GXL N/A. I have had it some time and I have tried many settings from mild to wild. All the while I have not seen any changes in my A/F meters (one analog one digital). Could I have one of the "defective" units that were mentioned?
Thanks.

i'm think i may as well have a defective unit, i've gone back and trippled check my work, but the S-AFC still is reading the wrong RPM, if I'm at 2.5k the AFC think I'm up around 4k. I think I read a post were some one elses was doning this, is it common?

safc.....damn this thing is difficult!!!!
i have had mine hooked up for a few months now. it shows rpms, correction, throttle fine. i have tried mild adjustments up until now. i had it like 5% rich across the board and did a couple of runs.
i ran a 1st gen 12a and it kepted up, i only beat it by a car or so.
i ran a 1st gen 12a with a street port and beat it by a fender but that was my fault i raised the fuel some and the power took me by surprise, i lost control and almost hit the other car.
i aslo ran an integra (1.8, header and intake). i pulled on him and beat him by about 1 1/2 cars. but the 12a 1st gen i raced first beat the same car too and this 12a is beat the **** up.
so now im raising the fuel substantially. i was at rx7.com and i used the fuel calculator. according to them the stock ecu runs the injectors at about 62% duty cycle, no more. so if you raise the safc, say 20% your still under the 85% max duty cycle they recommend.
i got mine set like 10% thru 19% from 1000rpm to 8000rpm.
i havent really been able to run it hard yet. i only adjusted the hi map which is set at 99.

hey
Hey tommy and ridgetec... I show the wrong rpm too. I think that was my thread u read a wile ago. I posted it everywere. It also shows wrong throtle. And I triple checked everything... If thiers someone who did it right u need to show us pics because i didnt have the original instructions... I downloaded it from apexi and soldered my connections. I have a 89GXL.
Sysmptoms were sputering when cold and jerking somtimes like fuel cut off.
I have a feeling that it might either be connections or something in our cars isnt tuned right. Like tps exc. When I took it off it ran fine.

Mine also shows wrong throttle and I was wondering why that might be? It usually reads around 18% throttle at idle. My rpm's are right on, so could my tps or something be misadjusted?

i used the AFC to adjust my TSP, I got it down to right around 1v. that gave me a reading of 0 on the throte % that fixed that, but it still say wrong RPM. If I get a chance I'm going to try and call Apex'i of america maybe they have a tech line or something. if anyone else beats me to it, post what you here. Chris

I don't have the unit right in front of me so I can't tell you just how I did it. There is a sensor check option that is were you can see your voltage, then if you go in to montior you can see your throtle usage %
