Rep Power: 0 afcII + cam gear for tuning?
Hi pplz,
So I'm wondering how good of a tune on a stock D17A1 is possible with a S-AFCII and an adjustable Cam Gear? Anyone running Boost with these items?
I'm finally leaving the NA option and going FI - Turbo!
Of course I would be getting it DYNO tuned around 5-6 Psi and yes I have read the FAQ!!

Rep Power: 327 I think when you hear "timing" you probably think cam timing. Alot of times in fi, when people speak of timing, they mean ignition timing. There's a whole write up on this in my sig if you want to read up on it. But, the afc doesn't control ignition timing, emanage does. Also, the cam gear will only allow you to adjust cam timing, not ignition timing.

Ok sweet, I had read somewhere that by adjusting the cam timing that the ECU would adjust the ignition timing accordingly. I wanted to make sure that was incorrect.
I already have an adjustable came gear and a S-AFCII (all you had to do was read my sig) Anyway I can get an emanage quite cheap - i'll just have to a get harness. Awsome....

Rep Power: 0 i know the emanage and aem ems is way better but if u have the safc, denso's, turbo kit with some type of upgraded fuel system like rsx-s injectors Tuned on the dyno its not that bad and for low boost like 5-6 it will be fine. I know the e-manage is way better but if he has the safc now and plans to only boost that low he should be fine. one of my friends has tuned the vafc and safc on boosted cars without changing the ignition timming and they are boosting 5-10 and run fine.

The kit I want to get is good for 440 WHP. So in the future when I upgrade the internals rods & pistons possbily crank and the fule system than I'll get an AEM EMS or Emanage before I go above 10.
