Once turbo, injectors, fuel pump's in, What now? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm almost done gathering everything for the turbo setup. I have a question tho. I'm going with either the SAFC-2 or the E-manage. I had no idea those things where like 200+. but yeah. I'm probably going with the Apexi cuz it has a display and the e-manage just seems to come with a CD and I'd rather tune real time than have to go to my pc. I'm guessing that's how e-manage works. but yeah. once my injectors and fuel pump and all that crap are in my car, how do i know to tune the SAFC so my car runs right? is that in the instructions or is it something i have to know?

honestly "street tunning" isn't really doing you much

you NEED to go to a dyno so that you have PROFESSIONALS
who actually KNOW what they are looking at instead of having random people on the internet say look for the # 15 and try and get that twist a knobby thing and you'll be good....

at a dyno you can get the proper tuning done with the aid of machines and technology that you don't have on the street and with the aid of technicians who know what they are doing....

"street tunning" you might as well add your name to the list of blown turbos of the 7afte crowd...

hahahahaha,

obvisouly you know nothing about tuning.

when i tuned my car i tuned a/f and ign on the steet myself with a wideband (zeitronix), apex-i pfc, a datalogit and my laptop.

i would just go and wind out 3rd gear on the highway and log into what a/fs i was getting then compensate the load into those cells, either by leaning out every 200rpm bank or by adding more fuel. and by putting in correction factors i maintained a 13.2a/f accross the board at WOT.

then for IGN i would advance my ign until i was seeing knock numbers. 60 is dangerous to your motor and is clearly audiable, 15 is not audible at all and no risk to your motor.

i then went to the dyno and tuned my high and low cam for the RPMs and set vvt and vvtli to the correct values to make horsepower, this was the only reason i needed a dyno. i ended up with 183whp n/a.

if tuning your car is considered only to the pro, then consider me and pro. ill upload my tunning maps for all load levels not just WOT like people here with doing with their piggy backs.

so go home and tune your "NAWZ".

learn to tune and dont knock others until you know what your talking about.

an a/f ratio of 15? I am not all that knowledgable about the 7afte but that would blow a 3sgte. The ideal safe a/f ratio for the 3sgte is in the 11's.

Most of your tuning can be done on a street if you have a way to monitor a/f ratios and timing. However, I personally do not believe that its something someone should do by himself the first time. Its fairly complicated and the ramifications of a bad tune are very expensive. Most good shops can tune a safc on a dyno in less than an hour. Its really not that expensive to have it done by someone who knows what he is doing.
