Tuning a Apexi S-AFC - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm looking for a guide or suggestions/tips on how to best tune a S-AFC I have coming in on wednesday. I'm running bone stock atm but getting a Injen intake in a week or so.

First,
    install it CORRECTLY.  A friend of mine put one on his 300zx NA and nearly blew his engine up at the strip w/ it.
Second,
    Put your other mods on and slap that hog on a dyno and roast till cooked through evenly.
Third,
   Make sure you have a way to keep an eye on your parameters when tuning, such as intake temp, exhaust temp, and a/f ratio.  The first two aren't nearly as important as the last.
Am I missing anything, I'm tired.  I'll think about it more in the morn.  
By the way, when you do install it and hopefully dyno your car, post your sheets.  I've never seen how much more pwr you can get w/ the SAFC, at least on a KA.  I got a '95 w/ i/h/e and high flow cat.  If not dyno, let me know what you butt-dyno tells you after you tune it.  Kool beans and good luck w/ your tuning.

do not think u can tune it by urself or "copy" other ppls. go on a dyno and see ur shit then tune it from there.

heres a question

y did u even buy the thing? when u only have an intake?? worthless and waste of money. lemme guess *bling*bling*?

Maybe because I got it for $150 from somebody I know online who was parting out his car, and it's something I would end up buying down the road when I mod my car more.
