Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior S-AFC

Anyone know where I can get Apex-i SAFC for the cheapest? I've seen price fluxuations of over $100. Thanks.

you already have one according to your sig

If you read it carefully you can see the entry "Coming soon..."

if you can get it brand new for less than 280, go for it. apex amongst other companies raised their retail prices too. so finding it for 280 new is still a heck of a deal.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION...

APEX DIGITAL SUPER AFC

CONCEPT:
Piggyback Fuel Computer

CHARACTERISTICS:
Modifies air-flow meter signal (pressure signal in some vehicles) to optimize fuel-air ratio; Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).

COMMENTS:
The second-generation S-AFC is a fuel computer that adjusts fuel/air ratio by modifying the air-flow meter/MAP sensor signal. The S-AFC features a user-definable, eight-point, adjustable fuel curve that can be set in 500 RPM increments. The range of fuel adjustment is +/- 50% at each of the user-defined setting points. On hot-wire vehicles, the Deceleration Air Flow Correction function is capable of curing the erratic idle and stall problems associated with open-atmosphere blow-off valves on hot-wire air-flow meter systems. The S-AFC is capable of monitoring and replaying the following data channels in Numerical, Analog Meter and Graph displays: Intake Manifold Vacuum/Boost Pressure, Air Flow Capacity, Intake Manifold Pressure, Karmann Frequency, Engine RPM, Throttle Position, and Air Flow Correction %.

I dont understand all that jargon. Could you explain it in simpler terms? Does it change the top speed of the vehicle or just manipulate the air/fuel mixture to make the celica accelerate faster.

if adjusted correctly you can gain a few hp

To you people that already have the Apex SAFC, did you tune it yourself or take it to a shop? I'm having trouble finding a shop around here that knows what the hell I'm talking about.

take it to a shop. you can really jack up ur car by trying to tune it yourself.

havent even messed with mine yet. just monitor all the crap now. i'm working on building up the fuel delivery (better fuel pump and injectors) and then on to the supercharger. just want all this crap before the supercharger so i'm ready

Hey Blitz, are you going to get the Blitz SC when its released in the US? Have you done any internal work like replacing cam gears or polish the head?

I guess I couldn't see "coming soon" enough to distinguish it from the rest of your modifications Mike, if I may call you mike...
