AFC for 1.6L N/A

[clement_ghost]

Hi everyone!!!

I'm looking for a air/fuel controler for my protege 2000 with a 1.6L N/A engine.

Here's my setup for now:
-OBX headers
-2" full custom mendrel bent exhaust
-2" custom SRI (Toyota Celica 00-05)

I already have in stock a AEM UEGO wideband kit.

I have track sessions soon and I really need to get my A/F ratio from 18-19 to 12-13.

Thank you for helping me find a solution!!!

PS: here's a picture of my engine bay so you can see what kind of intake I have.

Corksport front bumper... Nice...
Props on a sick 99-00 protege

umm wow very nice....question though...why get an afc(which btw will likely not work) for the 1.6 when you have the fs right there on the way, i would hold off.

 

[719prottege]

^agreed. ask a honda buddy to borrow some afc, they all have one almost lol. and than give it back when you swap.

The FS is not ready yet; just bought a house so the budget is low just the time to get in.

But why are you saying the afc wont work? Mazda ECM are too stupid?

I already have an AEM wideband kit, and if I put an AEM fuel/ignition controller (item #30-1910)... will it work?

I was checking the prices and for almost the same price of an AFC, I could get a Megasquirt standalone... that for sure would work.

And what about the Greddy E-Manage?

The thing is I have track events soon and I really want to make better times than last year... wich I wont with this ****** up A/F ratio.

 

[Joost27]

I believe the ecu is actually too smart. I know AFCs and the like on the FS/FP will work for a brief time/not at all, then the ecu just takes over again. MS would work, and I believe eManage has been used by a few of the 2.0l guys. Just not positive. I know one of the old members used to have a 1.6l that was turboed and he ran a Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator to give more fuel with boost. this wont really work for you since you are still n/a and the pressure would likely stay the same.

[repthemazdas]

o and if u need a ac kit im trying to get rid of mine lol.

 

[clement_ghost]

No thanks for the A/C kit... the less accessories I have, the best it is for me! I add things on my car that gives road control, I just don't care about comfort... well not too much

Yes I'm gonna swap in a 2.0L turbo forged engine with a lot of goodies!

And what do you mean by "what did I do" for the 5 lug nut thing?

I replaced the front hub/spindles by P5's with mazdaspeed 6 OEM brake kit (13" disks, calipers, pads).
Replaced rear spindles/hubs by MX-6 1996 with MX-6 OEM calipers, brembo plane disks, hawk black pads and new OEM MX-6 dust shields.
Replaced all 4 transversal suspension arms by new OEM P5's.
Replaced trailing arms by AWR for MSP.
Replaced all 3 handbrake cables by P5's.
And finally put a set of MSP's wheels.

But thats not all:
Replaced front and rear sways by MSP's (racing beat)
Replaced front lower suspension arm bushings by Pedders
Installed AWR front/rear endlinks
Installed tokico illumina (MS green version) modified for Ground Control Eibach's
Eibach camber bolts front/rear
Cusco strut tower bar
Ron Davis radiator w Summit custom SS radiator hoses
Custom coolant tank
HID 8000K
LED flashers/parkings front/rear
B&M short shift
Corkrsport urethane shifter bushings
Bronzoil shift linkage bushings
Corksport urethane exhaust hangers
Tom Motorsport seats (the only colormatched grey tissue I found)
MSP floor mats
Some audio for non-track days (car is daily driven so...)
JSP CF trunk (real, not just covered)
TCS CF mirrors

A lot of other parts will come with the FS engine, like another set of spindle/hub to receive bigger axles, AWR engine mounts, and all the other usefull things around the engine! Lol, gotta big box full of parts waiting... dam this thing is like a drug!!!
