Is it a SAFC?

[shepherd79]

it is easy to set up.
i have the first generation version. and it took me about 1 hour to set up.
it is very easy to do.
the only problem is where to mount.
since the one i have is flat and small enough, i mounted in the place of ash tray.
since the new SAFC are bigger you will have to mount somewhere on the top of the dash.
if you need help with connecting one, let me know.

shep is that the one with the knobs or the SAFC... they have SAFC II's... Funny you ask, i set one up in my Accord earlier today and its one hell of a device. Oh boy... you need to wire in the afc to the ground wires, map, tps, and rpm, and power wires on the ecu. For the RPM i just ran a wire from the blue wire coming off of the coil to use as my rpm trigger, i dont think it goes into the ecu anyway thats why i didnt use it. Takes about an hour to set up... i cant remember the color wires you should use on the ecu... if you need to know ill look them up for you, all i know is that they were completely different than the pinout listed for the ecus in the FAQ here... i had to bust out my honda factory service manual to figure this one out.

how about what is it, blue LCD think dosen't help, cause they make those for air/fuel controls, boost control, etc ????????????

yeah its one hell of a piggyback fuel computer. It helped with my car leaning out in low throttle from 3k-4k... but if youre just an N/A guy without alot of mods its really not that effective for the $250+ youll spend on one. You can use it for turbo (thats what im gonna do) and nitrous also if youd like. Yea they have the blue screen computers that are SAFC (Super Air Flow Converter) VAFC (Vtec controller as well as an SAFC) and they also have the AVC-R (boost controller) and RSM (kinda like a GTech... test your 1/4 mi times etc) but they ALL LOOK THE SAME... blue screen but are labled differently according to what they are.
