Jemjem 1st Gear December 13, 2007 Share December 13, 2007 Hi Would like to seek advise on SAFC2. Heard from frds that there are 2 kinds of tuning. Road tune (some called it lamda tune r something) and dyno tune (thought of doing it in JB speedworks). Between these 2 kinds of tuning, can some bros here advise on the pros and cons? Thanks jem ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickscientist Clutched December 17, 2007 Share December 17, 2007 I tuned my VAFC with the dyno machine... Why?? Safer Accuracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilernie 4th Gear December 17, 2007 Share December 17, 2007 I got my done on road, may need a few round on the tuning due to weather, road condition car performance at the time. The tuning will be done base on how U drive the car on different gears to determine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickscientist Clutched December 17, 2007 Share December 17, 2007 Yes.. Agree with u... Calibration is important... Did road tune before but encountered some faults with the unit along the way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemjem 1st Gear December 21, 2007 Author Share December 21, 2007 So for road tuning i will have to drive the car while the tuner sit beside and sets the best calibration? jem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickscientist Clutched December 21, 2007 Share December 21, 2007 No.. Its the tuner that drives it while tuning... Not a safe bet though.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo 1st Gear December 21, 2007 Share December 21, 2007 got 1 more, butt turning. use prototype fr other rides as a benchmark and then use gut feel lor. the mech at simon road does it tat way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear December 23, 2007 Share December 23, 2007 Mech at simon road? You mean the audio shop? I wouldnt "tune" there if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jem Don't waste time on road or butt tune. Go for dyno, at least do once swee swee, you can physically see the gain in figures. Not just gut feel. But seriously on SAFC2, there is limitations to tuning. I wouldnt even call it tuning btw. Not much parameters to play around with for this gadget. Most just lean out the A/F ratio.

Jemjem 1st Gear December 26, 2007 Author Share December 26, 2007 For me I have already gotten my SAFC2 so i guess i will tune with it. Anyone tried JB viswork or speedworks b4? Also I heard SAFC2 got 2 profile, does that mean we can tune profile 1 for power and profile 2 for normal driving? Thanks jem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear December 26, 2007 Share December 26, 2007 It's a fallacy to think dyno tune > above all else. It's best to have both. But as pointed by you, SAFC has limited tuning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dascrew Neutral Newbie December 28, 2007 Share December 28, 2007 I tuned my VAFC with the dyno machine... Why?? Safer Accuracy dyno are not accurate..... a car dyno 500hp on crank and 500nm , but on road, its actually lower... dyno machines are not accurate, drop the amt by abt 20-30% thats the actual.... but vafc, tune with dyno shld be can liao.... its only air flow... can don even use dyno also ... just hit a safe no. frm ur fren's almost similar set up can liao lar..... don waste money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerms Clutched December 28, 2007 Share December 28, 2007 i m have been doing my old car with speedworks JB. must say great place and Meepok man aka mark is a great guy! Mitsubishi forum ppl all support him alot coz he is really friendly and helps you out the best he can. They do Dyno tuning there.. can trust them. If you do visit them help me say Jeremy say hi to him! lol.. long time nv see him liao after i changed car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear December 28, 2007 Share December 28, 2007 Agree on the fallacy dyno tuning part, not so much of 100% accuracy la but its just to make sure the before and after there is a gain. At least you know what you get for paying the dough. Road tuning is difficult to guage whether there are improvements just by gut feel, but for fine tuning is gd enough.

Jemjem 1st Gear December 30, 2007 Author Share December 30, 2007 Well, dyno BHP is not accurate, is true. But I am jus worried that rd tune in SG requires a long stretch of rd as a full range of RPM will have to be achieved b4 tuning. In SG, I doubt there is a rd that allows this or achieving the speed/ rpm... Main reason y i took road tuning into consideration is because its cheaper in SG and less troublesome compared to dyno tune in JB... jemjem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
