Apexi Safc II question

Post by 21mrk »

Hi all,

I just got a safc II and was of the opionion that all this does is alter the current air/fuel ratio on the fto's ecu and does not run off its own fuel map.

I got it as future mods will need me to have this, but was going to install now and was told that basicly if I install it, do the initail setup and dont ajust anything, then the car will run as it always has.

Another person told me that if i install it, the car will run like poo until its tuned as it will be running a apaxi default fuel map.

Anyone want to clear this up for me?

Thanks
Mark

I got it installed but not tuned yet. The power gain u can expect is 5-6kw at the wheels once tuned properly. But my car is running the way it was before so i dont know where that person got their info from.
If yr car is running like 'poo' that it will run like that for the rest of its life! :wink:

Thanks, Thats what I thought.

A friends just made a comment to me about it and gave me 1% doubt that I could just install it, set it up and leave it for a bit before I get a dyno to alter the settings.

So yeah, just wanted to clear that up before I install..dont want to install then not be able drive my car until i get it tuned 8O
