Hey Daniel951,
How come we thing alike ? Aside from the turbo, exhaust
& clutch, we have the same set-up & I've been thing
about the SAFC as well cause the ARC II has got ****
resolution .

daniel951

u were asking about what kind of power i was making which is in my signature. I will let u know how things work out with the safc. Soon i will be datalogging all my stuff and send it to danno to get me a perfect chip. If u have already installed the safc or going to let me know so u can help me install mine

J Chen

Hi Daniel,
No I have not. I'll probably need your help instead.

daniel951

i will document everything and take pics when i install it to help everyone that plans on doing this. U have AIM or anything like that to chat other then posting?

do a search. i have posted the pinouts for the SAFC 2 once before. i don't remember off the top of my head what they are, but i'm certain what i posted works

ok i did the busy work for you:

safc install here

page 2 has the wiring diagram, but the whole thread is worth reading.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the info. So, how is car car running now ?
Have you converted the AFM to MAF ? Did you finally
get to connect the knock sensor wire ? Lastly, is it
difficult to tune with SAFC ?

Thanks

kevin Dubois

not good.

no.

no.

not sure cause it is running so poorly.

haha! ok once i got the AFC in, i also had danno send me his 18 psi chips. well that worked excellent for about a week until the turbo took a major dump on me. i have huge amounts of oil collecting on the intake track after the turbo. this is causing the car to smoke really bad. additionally i can't get the boost to settle at given level because the vacuum lines going to the wastegate keep burning in half. this is more of a stupid problem because i am lazy and haven't bothered to route the line properly ( i think it hits the Exhaust Manifold somehow...or maybe the bellhousing gets REALLLY hot).

basically once the turbo started pooping out on my i stopped worrying about fixing everything up, and concetrated on fixing my other car so i could move down here to texas. sense i got down here i haven't had time/good weather in the same weekend to do anything about it. once i get a replacement turbo in i will make an update of how things work.

daniel951

thanks kevin that helped out alot. i will be sure to keep everyone updated. i will find out soon enough how it is to tune with the safcII

daniel951

i am trying to install it right now but i am confused on how to find the certain pins off the DME. sorry for sounding like a dumbass but i didn't install the arc-2. any idea on how long this is going to take me

Rob

Does that help?

daniel951

yes rob that heps except i still don't know what color since i can't see where the wire connects to the pin?

daniel951
