SAFC's off ebay??????
 

so, im lookin for an apexi safc, and i was wandering if all the models are vehicle specific, ie: can i just buy any random model off of ebay and use it in my 7? or does it get more complicated than that? thanks a bunch!!

I believe the only two models of the first S-AFC are the regular one and the one for V-tec

yes but there are now 3 versions of the afc

first one is "afc" old stay away
2nd is "s-afc" blue screen. couple years old. works great.
3rd is "s-afc II" few months old haven't seen one in a 2nd gen. few more features. I'm sure it works great too.

each one will go in any car.

Scott,

youre forgetting the first S-AFC

the one that had 6 knobs. It was okay, but the newer one was a big improvement

Just stay away from the first gen afc and the vtec models of the safc

why couldn't you use the vafc? It's just a safc that has the ability to set the vtec activation points on honda/acura cars.

You can, but it wont do anything on our cars so why buy it?

I meant only if it was found at a cheap price, I wouldn't pass up buying the vafc...

sorry, but what does the "s" stand for in "s-air fuel controller"???

it does nothing except put power to something at a certain RPM, right? so you could use it for anything, not just VTEC. Nitrous switch/shift light/whatever

bingo. Key is I think the highest rpm it will allow vtec activation is maybe 6500 or so.

The problem with using it to activate a nitrous switch is it wouldnt turn off at x rpm like a window switch. Over rev the motor on a mis shift, boom.

I have one for sale in great shape, buy it from me :)

The problem with the VTEC AFC is it only supports the Honda MAP sensors - it WILL NOT WORK on an FC. You can't physically select the FC's airflow meter.

Hey dude i got one on ebay for a great price. I paid 230 for it it was slightly used like the dude put the bracket on and thats it no wiring at all. A good price for these is between 200-250 and the new ones go for 350. THis is for the S-AFC. The new one is going to be a lot more and you dont really need it. Also keep in mind there are tons of pp that have these on this forum so if you get the S-AFC (not the S-AFCII) youll get lots of support. But dont pay more than you have too!!

excellent advice guys!! thanx a lot!!:D

Why is everyone dissing on the knob S-AFCs? They seem to be alright, just like the fancy LCD display AFC with just raw turn the knob to tune type of attitude. Oh well, maybe im cheap.

hey na version fc3s the s stands for super.....seriously
