my setup and how it goes.

[87supradude]

So its all running and I have some questions hehe. I have a pfc fcon and safr. How well does my safr work with my fcon? I know the gcc is made for the fcon but it seems like the adjustabily is not there, like 12% plus or minus at 5 points. So can my safr still make 50% adjustments or will the fcon limit this?
Also when I did the startup for the afr I turned the key to on with only the #2 switch on, set the cylinders and started the car. I waited until full operating temperature then flipped the #4 switch to on. Is this right? And finally does anyone know where I find the users manual in non .pdf format for it? Then I could stop bugging all of you with these questions. :)

Ok I finaly found the manual @ www.alltrack.net/manuals/SAFR/ . There's one mention in the manual about fcon mini. I can't find any info on that Item or how similar/different it is from the pfc version, or if it even exists. Hasn't anyone done this b4? If not oh well, I should be loging by next week and Ill update this when/if I find something out.

Thanx! I must have googled 20 different ways and the same for the hks site, nuthin. What do you know about vpc mini? Just curious, the manual mentions that also.

TBH i have never came across a VPC mini, only the 1st gen and second Gen VPC's. Second gen was just a facelifed VPC released around the same time as the GCCII. even quite a heavy search on the japan side shows nothing of it.

So the car has been running fine now for a while, and after plugging in the PFC I dropped a full second at the track (I think my driving got better too though, so I'm not realy sure of the gains). Also the FCD that was wired into it apeares to be working now, 15psi and drops to 14 by redline. I unfortunately havnt tried tuning the SAFR yet as I want to wait on my EGT to be double sure I'm not gonna melt something.
I am having one isue though quite by accident. When I replaced the valve cover seals last week I pushed the tube on the accordian hose in instead of it sealing on the BOV hose. The problem is I was obviously venting to atmospere, BUT the car was still stalling when I would rev out of gear. From the manual the SAFR should be preventing this but its not. Could this be from the unmetered air at that port? Anyone know if there is a setting that needs to be turned on? My next mod will be hardpipes and an SSQV, so I thought I'd get this taken care of now.

the SAFR's EIDS function has to be turned on....and it doesn't work for a KV AFM.

yup, you're pulling in unmetered air.

Well that sucks. Its one of the features I was looking for when I bought it. What other options do I have for high boost BOV's? I'm looking to see what I can do with all of this. I would sell it all and go maft pro but as far as I know nobody else has this setup and I'm curious as to what I can learn from it.
BTW I did have an air leak. That problem got fixed in a hurry.
This also gave me an idea. I know its been pronounced a bad idea but could I add fuel to compensate for a lex AFM? I have read that the 440's have been used for some pretty good numbers. I will be datalogging AF's and will have my EGT before I would attempt this. I'm not looking to this as a boost cut raiser but rather to open up the intake more. Thoughts? How could this affect VF?

[87supradude]

That blows.
Would a vpc fix this? Or would that be too many computers doing the same thing?
I appreciate the help drjonez
