HKS SAFR vs. Apexi S-AFC

[matt0941]

First off encasemyheart, you spelled HKS wrong a couple of times. No i'm just f***ing with you hehe.

Thanks alot for the link, wonder why it wasn't on their website. As for the idle adjusment on the HKS... does anyone think that this is worth it? Can someone explain to me exactly what the idle adjusment allows, thanks.

PEACE OUT FOO!

I've always liked Apexi products over HKS. HK$ is too overpriced usually. The only thing I really think is superior is the HKS EVC IV, the electronic boost controller. That thing absolutely kicks ***. The Apex boost controller is wayyyy too complicated when all you need is boost control. Too bad the HKS is $550+...

....sexy

But it says that it can only go up to 2.5 bars (I couldn't find the conversion on the net, how much lbs is that?). Should that be sufficient? Actually I guess that is very very vague question cause you don't know what I plan on doing to my car but has any had problems with it?

yeah it really needs to be dependant on what you want to do to your car. It is a really nice unit. And bars doesn't really need a conversion, try and learn it. It's fun driving around with a Greddy boost gauge with only bars on it and your friends are like "How much boost are you running??"

1 bar = 14.7 psi1.5 bar = 22.05 psi2.0 bar = 29.4 psi2.5 bar = 36.75 psi3.0 bar = ALOT OF BOOST!!!

You tell me, is 37 psi enough for your setup?

What does the SAFR display?

It says that the SAFC shows just about anything you would like to see from any gauges.. but I haven't found what the SAFR displays.

I heard from a friend of mine that he has just used his piggy-back for his gauges istead of drilling through the dash board. It doesn't sound like too bad of an idea but I am very skeptical.. could it really show all those meters at once?
