Can i steal someones SAFC settings???

Anyone who has similiar/same mods and has a tuned SAFC and nice enough to share their settings???

91 coupe n/a
5-speed
cone intake (CAI)
rb headers/presilencer
corksport/single outlet catback

Iono if it werks to use others settings, if it doesnt werk please enlighten me of my ignorance... =)

 

Don't try it, just dyno it and get your afrs or get a wideband and tune from there.

 

For once the special olympian has useful info!

(How the hell am I supposed to know your middle initial!?)

 

not druiz!! ruiz!

Yeah, as others said, probably not best to mess around with subtracting fuel % without knowing your 'true' AFR's. You could still tinker around with the 'lower' throttle map to smooth out the idle etc... Not very interesting, but hey, whatevs.

 

BTW, I've blown a motor in my TII by getting a wee bit 'liberal' in my - fuel %... Granted you're rocking an N/A, but still you can't be too careful when it comes to tuning Rex's.

 

its not gran turismo leave that box alone.. get someone else to play with it on a dyno

 

ive been wondering and hearing a lot bout ppls engines blowing @ the dyno....if the shop blows it, are they liable for it??

 

99% of the time the shop isnt liable at all, its a general rule of thumb as with most of the racing industry to be "tuned at your own risk" or use at yer own risk....

lol you pay more to get a tune from a guy who has a good record of not "blowing up customers cars"

 

Bad idea, just pay for the tuning but as said above be careful in which tuner to go to.

 

I do not know why someone won't help this guy out. give him a baseline to go from , what you have with similar mods plus 5%

 

I too have

 

I too have had a similar question. I dont have the money to spend on a dyno tune/ WIDEband a/f meter....all I have been trying to find out is a general base line (not all set to 0's)....and the only apparent answer I can get from anyone here is DYNO and/or wideband......

--89 Vert N/A, CAI, RB Header, straight pipe to dual apexi N1's, SAFC (the older one with the 5 knows on front of it)....nothing...'special' but it would nice for general tuning

 

that's because that's the only way to safely tune a car without some experience. If you are good at reading plugs, and recognizing what you're engine is doing, then you could just mess with it yourself at home. But using someone elses settings isn't really the way to go about it at all. As mentioned above, if you take someone elses settings with similar mods and add say, 5%, most likely you would be totally safe, but it's still a risk.

 

If you know what you're doing with a voltmeter, you can get a decently good tune by using the narrowband O2 sensor. The risk of detonation on a NA is very low - if I get too lean, it just loses power.

I wouldn't tune a turbo without a wideband. But, for a NA, you can get a good feel as to how much fuel you have to pull out to get to stoich, then richen it up a bit. *shrug*
