SAFC settings, and how to know if correct?

[Lude]

hey guys, 1st of all, i am a paid up member

 

car runs great, but does smelly a bit petrolly on idle when cold.

 

petrol consumption isnt the best, but these cars arnt are they

(last car was a 3litre TT, so know what to expect)

 

 

car has double decat, exhaust, FMIC, air filter, and is boosting 1-1.2bar.

 

it has one of thse retro SAFCs.

 

its been dynod recenly before i got the car (have the print out, with date) asume the guy would have played with this??

 

are these SAFCs any good? how will i know if its set correctly?

all the dials are set to the same number, exepct the first one, which is set a bit lower.

 

each adjuster nob lights up green, exept the 1st one which is red?

 

what happends when you turn different nobs? it looks like it alters Fueling at different RPM i take??

bump?

I have one of these, my settings are the first 2 dials are set to 0 and the rest are set to +3. I'm not 100% but I'm sure it changes the fuel settings at different RPM's. So mine looks to add more fuel after 4000 RPM's.

 

My car is not BPU though. I guess I would have to have the settings changed if I did go BPU.

 

Hope this helps.

buy an air fuel gauge then you will defo know whats going on personally i prefer the later one with the screens just not as stealth i suppose

thanks guys,

 

it seems a bit of a vauge way of increasing the fuel/ECU.

 

think im gonna get the ECU chipped, or a remap or something,

 

but i think i read you cannot "chip" the standard ECU like you can with Nissans?
