It should be fine for emissions / smogging. The AFC won't affect your fuel delivery at idle, so as long as that's when they smog it (at idle), you should be good.
just got my AFR gauge hooked up, turns out whenever i drive, it likes to stay around the 14-15 range, which is not good at all
it bogged once and the numbers went down to 10.1, gotta do alot of adjustments thats for sure
Well I went shopping around to a bunch of local stores for a Serial to USB adapter cable but NOBODY had it. My car is acting strange...again. The WB readings are all over the damn place and I'm afraid to hit boost and break something. Idle seems normal at ~19-23 (I dropped my boost gauge so it is always off a little) and the WB reads about 14.6-14.3.
Something just doesn't feel right and there is no way that the AFC is controlling anything right now, since I finally loaded the software on my netbook to see what the default settings are, and the Over Pressure was set to 7 haha. If I understand it correctly, that means the AFC will not take over until you reach 7 psi...which is the max I should be running so it is pretty much disabled right now. I'm told we have a serial cable at work so hopefully I can hook it up at lunch and atleast load the correct settings.
Um, weird...My SS-AFC acted up tonight on the way home from work too.... Wasn't adding fuel when it should OR as much as it should. By the end of the ride home it seemed back to normal, but I have to look tomorrow w/ the R4 software and see if something is wrong.
I've been tuning this thing all week, so it's loaded fine. I run the 450's, and with no tune it would be obvious. The tune was back to normal tonight, ran great today, and on the way home from work. Weird.
Success!
Alright so I went home after work and printed off 2 guides from the Split Second website. With those guides plus all the paperwork that came in the box with the AFC I was armed and dangerous. Headed back to work, got everything situated, and read through all 5 packets of information on that b**** haha. There were very detailed instructions on how to set everything up and I followed it all step by step (if they said "clap your hands", you can be sure I would have done so). Basically I did the same thing that I did last night, which was just loading the Superstockmap. Only thing I noticed was in the settings, the overpressure was set to +1 instead of -1. Maybe that is how the Superstockmap has it set? I just changed it to -1 since that's what most people on here say they use. Not sure if that would have caused my issue but long story short if anybody is having a problem with a preset map, just browse the Split Second website for some guides and you will be golden.
yea my car is running exceptionally smooth, which isnt really a good thing
boost used to come on hard as hell to 8.5psi but not it comes on smoothly to 4.5psi
not sure why but my AFR's are alot better, in the 12-13 range, so i may try to use the MBC to turn up the boost
if that doesnt work then i know i have a boost leak somewhere
