I need to get a tune on my 240sx just wondering between cople products that about geting the Apexi safc neo but let me know what works for you guys....

DO NOT GET THE AFC

dont waste your money

save your money for the Power FC.

you need to search A LOT

The AFC adds additional resistance to your Air Flow meter signal wire which is totally detrimental to the cars output.

any other opinions? i recently bought my 240 with the apexi safc already installed. found this thread while searching for a troubleshooting thread.

S-AFC is only good for a low budget "datalogger" of sorts just to look at a few engine parameters. Not good for any sort of tuning.

Your car will drive 10000x better with decent tuning versus something crappy like an AFC.

Most people who drive my car with just a careful ROM tune rave about how it drives better than most factory FI cars.

Do you need any others? The tuning guru just said it was garbage.

yes yes yes power fc even tho it does not save your timing

. Get a standalone fool

go with an rs enthalpy rom tune...wayyyyy cheaper. just get the car on the dyno w/ a:f after you install it and have the tuner look it over to make sure everything is good. unless you have the 1000 bucks for a power fc or someone near you who can tune it

The 1k standalone is less then sending your computer in every time you do a upgrade.

*s13silvia123* · 10-28-2009, 10:56 PM

standalone is best and still the cheapest to tune. on the long run saves you cash VS. ecu rom tunes and AFC

well you also have to factor in dyno time, and if you upgrade standalone you'll still need to get a retune
