alot of people are telling me to get rid of the s-afc and get a nice custom flash tune. i was hoping u guys cud help clear this up.

If you don't know, then you should not have a 20g. Please learn to search, learn to do research before purchasing mods (asking people to spoonfeed you the answer is not considered research), and stop making multiple threads asking the same questions.

 

Jeezus Warrtalon, what are you the EvoM police? And you wonder why I have a beef with your attitude....

Evoboy, the SAFC-II, while a great tuning tool is very limited in it's abilities. It can't control ignition timing. A good flash will be leaps and bounds over a an SAFC.

 

The SAFC-II is not a 'great' tuning tool by any means - no idea why you said that. It's serviceable at best. I already explained this to him in his first thread, but he made another thread anyway - very annoying.

 

Agreed, there are much better devices out there that are cheaper. Getting something like ECUflash would be far more beneficial.

 

Damn!! I dont understand why there is so many stupid questions that can be answered by a little bit of research... Also warrtalon why is it that SO many people are recently asking so many redundent questions?

 

btw-- the safc is no great tuning tool at all... So for further reference safc questions do have their own forum!!

 

Hmm...not a great tuning tool....that's why DSM's have used it for years...and why AMS themselves have gotten monster power from an SRT-4 with upgraded turbo and tuned with an AFC?

Be more specific with your responses.

 

Ahahah U R Funny Man We Are Talking About Mitsubishi Here!! Not A ****ing ****ty Neon!! So Read The **** Properly!

 

i can see where this thread is going!

 

the srt 4 has the worst ecu!!! worst!!! the neon is a piece btw.. get a real car.. not just a neon..

 

i think we have a dude in here ! .. who ran 11s with stock ecu ! stock injectors ! ..
Black evo VIII with an AFC and bolts on ! .. Tony gibson .. something like that, can't remember his name ! ..

 

THere's nothing wrong with an afc on a fairly stock evo such as yours. THey work great, however they are somewhat limited in the amount of tuning it can do. If you have any ambitions of going bigger, your going to need some other form of engine management.

Seeing as how you live in Illinois, I'd have the boys at AMS hook you up if I were you.

 

Excuse me noob but I read the "****" properly and I know what I am talking about. As for your comment about a competent car, you have little or no common sense in it's ability. I never, nor did anyone else in this thread, said I had an SRT-4. Now kindly take your woobie and go back to sleep.

 

There are a few people on here that have done that. Our 8 went 11.5x @ 119mph on the stock turbo, clutch and ecu with an safc.
