Apexi AFC stolen, need tuning advice!

[BlackLabel24]

Hey everyone,

So I'm in a bit of a tricky situation. A few days ago someone broke into my car and stole my Apexi AFC Neo and harness. Now the car is pretty much un-driveable, and the nearest SR tuning shop is a city away.

So the way I see it, I can either buy another Apexi AFC, or go with an RS Enthalpy tune. I don't have the money for something like a PowerFC or anything in that price range.

If I went with the AFC then I'd have to buy some tools to remove the bumper so it can get on a flatbed tow truck and get it to a shop (I tried earlier and it was to low with the bumper, and I don't have any tools with me). I bought the car with the AFC in it, so its always been tuned with it. Of course my concern is that it might get stolen again, so I am hesitant on buying another. This would also be more costly than the Enthalpy tune, as I'd need to buy a AFC, boomslang harness, wiring installation, and tuning.

My other option is Enthalpy. I've heard a lot of good things about this tune. From what I understand I just need to take out the ECU and send it to them, and simply plug it back in and I'm good to go. If someone could send me a link on how to safely take the ECU out that would be great.

In terms of my future goals, I'd eventually upgrade the turbo, but not for another few years.

Here are my engine mods (car is 95 240sx)
- 98 SR20DET
- stock T28
- stock injectors
- Z32 MAF
- NGK Iridium Plugs
- FMIC & hot and cold pipes
- Cold air intake
- Recirculated BOV
- Catback exhaust system
- AF and boost gauge

Just to note, my car ran pretty well with the AFC and only had some minor problems. The idle was very inconsistent (despite recirculating the bov, checking the idle control valve, replacing maf). Occasionally it would decide to idle low and run very lean.


So if you guys could give me your advice it would be greatly appreciated! Basically I need to decide between the AFC or Enthalpy (or anything else you guys can think of).

U don't need a power fc or afc. U don't have any mods to require either one.. U could just used the stock sr ecu and change ur maf to a stock sr one and your good to go.

That makes sense. However the previous owner installed this: http://www.frsport.com/GReddy-11920201- ... _1469.html

So in addition to a SR maf, what other parts would I need to get it running?

Besides the maf u have to get the correct size pipe for the sr maf. The z32 is a bit bigger I believe hence why he got the greedy intake, it's for the z32 maf. U could probably still use the greddy kit with the sr maf just install it onthere and see how it fits or figure out what u have to use to make it work..
