(APEXI - Super Air Flow Converter)

Post by izonme »

Was thinking of getting one of thees to add to my FTO. So how much will this help with the fuel to Km. I get around 20L - 100Km.....

And what other thing can it do?

Our is there a better product on the market?

Any air fuel controller (like the SAFC) once tuned should improve your mileage but yours seems excessive. Might help if you gave some more info....

- what type of FTO
what modifications do you have
- what fuel do you use

As a first resort I'd say replace the fuel filter if you haven't done so recently, and reset the ECU. Make sure you use premium fuel (min 95 RON, most would use 98 I reckon).

SAFC is perfect. There are substitutes depending on how far you want to work with your car (Apexi NEO is a newer version, Greddy E-Manage, etc).

GPvR 1997 120000K

All ways 98%

It has an AIR POD thing I have reset the ECU last time i played with the car.

I was looking at the Apexi NEO but it is like $500 on eBay.

I just posted on a SAFC II that I recently installed to my car.

I paid $220 brand new for it. $60 install. $130 tune.

theres a post - that covers my experience with it. Could not tell you in relation to fuel to be honest. I never assumed that it would save me fuel though..... I always thought power gains meant it would be less economical.

proformas? not sure what you mean by this....
