As some of you know, my car's been running quite rich lately, and I really have no means to adjust it...I was planning on upgrading my fuel system in the future anyhow, and I'd like to be able to adjust the air/fuel ratio.
Now for the questions:Basically, I just want to be able to adjust the a/f to make it run more neutral than rich at about 9 psi on a T3 super 60B (.48/.60).
1) Can either of these units be used with an aftermarket RRFPR programmed?2) Both of these units can be used with stock injectors, correct?3) If I wanted to upgrade to SR 370CC injectors, I could "program" either unit to run with bigger injectors, correct?4) Both of these units can be used with an S14 KA MAF, correct (1995)5) How hard is it to install either of these units?6) How hard is it to adjust the air/fuel ratio for both of these? (ie, do you need separate harnesses, etc) They are both piggy back units, correct? But the S=AFC has an actual display and the Emanage does not?7) Basically I'm looking for ease of installation, and ease of control--I don't need anything crazy, I basically want it to be able to make my car run a little more lean and to lean it out even more when I have to go through emissions, and to be able to upgrade to SR injectors when I wish to. Which do you think will be the best?8) I know the Emanage adjusts timing as well, but the S-AFC doesnt?9) What is the difference between the regular S-AFC, super S-AFC, and S-AFC II?
I'll be thinking of more questions and posting them as well...Thanks!

Well naturally I'd go for it used...$210 shipped I found some guy selling it for...I guess the ones I saw (at http://www.rollhard.com) were the regualr S-AFC's...and if I knew the difference between the S-AFC and the S-AFC II (which is one of the q's i asked), then I'd know there'd also be a price difference...!
Ace, I guess we are both plugging the emanage. Offers a ton more tunability and ignition timing control not to mention can work with a boost control, datalog, adjust for injectors, Mafs, atmospheric bov's. I guess the thing it is missing, that most people like is the bling bling of the little lights on the the display of the SAFC.

I spent about $500. The E-Manage can datalog with just the basic unit, you just need a laptop with the support tool or a E-01. The Map sensor is not necessary unless you exceed the MAF's capability to measure airflow. And even then, its probably easier for most to just swap to a higher capacity MAF. As far as boost control, how many Standalones actually can control boost anyways? I've not seen a piggyback up and running for less than $1000. Double the cost. I see no problem with not spending $500.

So can the AFC be used with a KA MAF with larger injectors? It seems like it could...just program it to use less fuel?

Get the SAFC II. On E-Bay. It will allow you to switch back and forth between two sets of data, one for low emmisions, one for normal driving. You can use a stock MAF (or a different one) and you can use larger injectors. It's cheaper and will do all that you are saying that you need. The E-manage is nice but requires a laptop to utilize the full benefit of the system.
