well, my purpose was to keep around the stock hp, but monitor every thing diagnose problems and forsee falure. but then I learned that you can tune the thing for better gas miliage too...

SAFC seems to be what I would need, but i still know NOTHING about Engine Managment...

but yes, drifting/auto X learning car.

If you wore into drifting youd know teh best cars have what I posted. SAFC is ok I guess if your broke like me but it aint **** compared to real data loggers.

MrFC3S said he wanted something to monitor every aspect of my engine. Maybe you know what he really wants coz your psysich or his girfriend or something. But that aint what he wrote. Maybbe he shoulda just said he wanted a cheap pos box to tune teh engine a little better than stock and then peeps coulda ansered his question better. Dont be a hater just coz teh question wasnt asked rite.

He said monitor every thing diagnose problems and forsee falure.

OK Mr Hater, maybbe I need to splane some things so you understand. Teh dataloggers have a DISPLAY where you can see readouts and stuff. If you cllick on the links you can see. OK maybbe you understand now.

SAFC dont monitor ne of that. Not wideband air fuel ratio, not boost, not water temp, not oil temp, not air temp, not fuel pressure, not fuel flow, not acceleration, not torque, not wheel speed, not tranny temp, not lsd temp, not tire press, not brake temp, not ride height, not exhaust temp, not... I got tired of listing things it dont show lol. Neway teh real dataloggers THAT ALSO HAVE DISPLAYS show all this stuff if you want and you can program for others. Teh SAFC is suppose to be a FUEL computer not a uber engine monitor, and it dont control fuel as good as haltech or microtech or specially motec.

This is all teh SAFC shows -
Air Flow Capacity (Hotwire and Flap Type only), Engine RPM, Throttle Position, Pressure Sensor voltage, Karmann Frequency, and Air Flow Meter Correction.

If I hadda guess Id say this doods trying to sell you a SAFC coz he dont sound honest.

I dunno dood. Teh stock car already has gauges for bout everything he asked for xcept fuel press and you can get that for like 50$ at autozone. I figgered he was looking for a datalogger with display.

ummm.... didnt mean to start a war here... I know that Drifting has NOTHING to do with a Data Logger and ECMS and stuff... Its just that i wanted to have somthing to help me keep an eye on my car... to hopefuly forsee a potential falure in the engine. That and to learn more about ecms. I guess that gauges would work, but also wanted somthing alittle more acurate... also somthing i could fool around with and learn more about tuning and fuel managment. I guess I should do more research on ECMs, and Fuel Managment and Data Loggers and stuff before i buy one... thanks 13b4me and cardzrule for your input...

Oh my lord... You really got me good there!!! Well I'd say you owned me good! Wow you're so awesome...

What you don't know:

He had asked about buying my SAFC already, and I told him it was pending sale to someone... So why don't you quit trying to act cool, go learn how to drive (the Initial D arcade game doesn't count), learn how to maintain your own car, and quit trying to corner me, because it's not working very well for you...

Oh yea one more thing...

STAY IN SCHOOL!!!
