GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'm booked into Thor on the 2nd of next month to have my S-AFCII set up correctly. Now getting it down there is being a bit of an arse (was gonna trailor it down but it's becoming awkward). The S-AFC has been roughly set up and idle seems only slighly lumpy. Would it be "safe" to drive it down to Thor and keep the foot well off the gas pedal or am I just looking for problems? Silly question really I suppose?

Alex Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 If it's backed off enough Closed loop will be able to "manage" cruise AFR's so yes it should be safe enough...but deffo no planting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 I was hoping you'd say that mate, thanks. Would you advise just disconnecting the S-AFC and re-setting the ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I shall be upgrading to 550's shortly when I convert to T61 Budget. The SAFC2 will map them. So, I'm curious about this too. But won't disconnecting the SAFC2 - so it's not using you're basic basemap - make idling the car even worse and driving it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yeah that's what I was thinking mate but "backed off enough" and "Closed loop" didn't make much sense to me (being dense an all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 No you need the S-AFC to back off the fueling to give the ecu a chance to then find 14.7:1 at cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Great stuff. Sounds ok to me. Fingers bloody crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Don't suppose anyone would know the rough setting to do this would they? Car doesn't wanna start now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Ok sorry to pester folks but I'm obviously f**ked here. Car is running now thanks to a jump from a 900cc seicento and a bit of time letting it cook some unburnt fuel. Currect settings on 650's Range Hi Lo 1000 +12 -20 1600 +16 -20 2200 +31 -25 2800 +33 -30 3400 +38 -30 4000 +42 -40 4600 +42 -40 5200 +43 -40 5800 +40 -40 6400 +40 -40 7000 +38 -40 7600 +38 -40 Throttle point Hi Lo 50% 80% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Steve, are you running a big single? If not i wouldn't be adding any fuel anywhere in the map with 650's. Mine was running way rich with 550's and stage 3 hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 I'm running stage 3's and 650's. Any chance you could explain a bit more coz I don't have a clue about what's going on with the S-AFC here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Can I nicely suggest then not fiddling with the AFC and getting someone with a clue and also importantly a wideband sensor to set it up? No-one can map your car at range with an AFC or anything else, even settings off someone with *exactly* the same setup could only be considered as a starting point, and if there is one way to wreck your engine as quickly as possible it is by (to all intents and purposes) randomly altering fuelling settings. If you want to just run the car down to Thor's then you need to pull just enough fuel that it starts and moves, and then drive there off boost the whole way. It's going to suck, driving it like that, but not as sucky as lunching the motor -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Steve, I am a little confused as to why you are running 650's with hybrids. Anyways, The settings you are using should get you to Thor if you try and stay below half throttle. I guess you don't have a wideband afr guage in the car, so can't really advise you on set up. I would imagine that after mapping you will be almost maxing out the SAFC capabilities taking OUT fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Some kind of happy medium would do mate. It's going to Thor and I plan to drive there at 50 - 60mph (I very VERY speed anyway so no hastle to me). I'd just like a clue on how to set up so I can make it down and it'll make me a very very happy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways' date=' The settings you are using should get you to Thor if you try and stay below half throttle.[/quote'] SO bloody glad to hear that mate! Half throttle is fine by me. Big smiles now.
