Ka-t with safc acting funny!

[spinin13]

At an airflow%of 15 on my safc, the car acts like it doesnt want to do anything. If I let off some it will run well, and if I open it up more it will hall as*.
I think this could be a problem with the mass airflow, but could also be a correction with the safc.

Let me know if you have any solutions/ questions.

You could be running way too rich
Do you have wideband ?

[v-empire]

did you not get a tune, yet?

if you havent, go get one.

[turbology]

what rpm you are at, and psi you are running ?
15% correction at 10% throttle, or 90% throttle ?

Usually not MAF problem

[v-empire]

Safc sucks. Not enough tuning capability. At least get an emanage.

[S14Tech]

Where can you get an safc tune and for how much, oh great one. I'm gonna need one really soon...

and btw nick, way to help! i dont think he asked how much you like safc.

[turbology]

Any dyno place that have a wideband capability with someone who know how to tune, can do it. How much ? Depend how long is on the dyno.

If you can get a wideband, and you can log it with Throttle %, and RPM. I can tune it for you. I will get half dozen of Dom Perignon in return. :)

True that safc is not great but works.
NO I dont have wideband yet. no have not gotton tune.
and I am running rich. I figured thats what the problem was, but wasn't sure.
I am looking for a wideband if anyone has one.

and does anyone know of a tuning shop that could deal without one being installed and how much it would run me for a basic tune?

[turbology]

most turning shop have wideband that stick into your exhaust.
you don't need one to tune at shop. If the shop doesn't have one, go somewhere else.
If you have a wideband, you don't need a tune shop.

Having a wideband allow to perform "street tune".
Most shop only tune WOT for you.

Its gonna be at least $100 an hour to get tuned at a shop (probablly more like $120 an hour. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two tho. But calling around and asking some of the shops on IA would be your best bet.

forged ahs a nice dyno, so ive heard....its on 41

I'm sure you can ask around your friends to borrow their wb02 for a small fee or something.

I can let you borrow mine..
its still in packaging, so I know its calibrated and good.
I can probably come ride with you while tuning to keep an extra pair of eyes on the afr and/or record rpm/afr.

I dunno.. lets say $20 and a lunch? lol.
Thats only if you know how to tune it yourself, its not too hard though.
just get a baseline from a similar setup and start fine tuning from there on.

What setup are you running with the ka-t?
