safc II install

[wild_maxx]

i wanted to install my new safc before i install the turbo. it might be a few more weeks before i install it. can i just install the safc running stock everything? and if i can what settings should i use for it. i have a SOHC kae motor with stock 270cc injectors, and stock maf. what should i set the setting at? i am shipping out my rx-7 440cc injectors to be cleaned and flow tested so those will go in when i turbo. what should the settings be like for injectors that size?

u can just install it even tho ur not turbo yet. this is what i am currently doing. i have the DOHC so ur settings on the safc may be different for the in and out. The corrections on the SAFC should be 0% across the board as you really dont need to correct for anything since you are still stock. i know my settings in and out are 5 in and 5 out and obviously set for 4 cylinder.

the settings for those injectors i dont know, but maybe one of the kae-t peeps will post

cool. now when i am looking for the correct ecu pin wires to tap the safc wires into on the ecu harness, how do i count the pins on the harness. meaning which way up and down on the harness?

[Toahk]

You can just install it and not tap the airflow wire. Then when you turbo just splice the last wire.

so your saying just leave the maf wire out of this installation and just hook it up when i install the turbo?

Hey, I have my S-AFC installed and running, but my turbo isn't in. As for looking at the diagram, if the ecu is in its factory position, the bottom of the ECU corresponds to the left side of the printed diagram, I sat on the ground outside of my passenger side, opened the panel, and set the book on the floor of the car so that I could read it, that is the easiest way to keep your orientation straight (unless this sentence just blew it for you). Hook up all of the lines, if you don't make any corrections, your car will not know that the unit is even in there.

aswome. thanx and yes you explaination helped alot. i am in the process of making a custom mounting plate to mount the safc under my cd player i will have pix up when i am done.

come on people i need some help. i tapped in the power wire from the safc to the ecu harness but the only power i got was from the third spot over instead of the second like the n3-b diagram says. soon as i plugged it in the safc it turned on with the key in the off position meaning i have it hooked up to constant. can some one please help me out here i know there are others installing the safc II on the sohc so come on.

[Toahk]

If you follow the diagram it will work fine, double check your wiring and pinouts.

okay maybe i'm asking a stupid question, do i need to keep my maf sensor if i'm running a piggyback fuel controler??

[Charlie240sxt]

yes the MAF lets it know how much air is coming in so it knows how much fuel to spray

[wild_maxx]

what color is the power wire on the 89 sohc ecu. the one i am supposed to use is black with a white stripe down the middle of it. when i hook that one up the the safc red power wire and turn the key to on position the afc will not power on. i have the grounds installed already brown wire closest to the ecu and then black one. i dont know what power wire i should use. anyone know what color the ecu power wire i am supposed to tap into?

[wild_maxx]

I NEEEEED HELP HERE PEOPLE PLEASE.

[Toahk]

Maybe you screwed up your SAFC ghetto wiring it and not following the instructions.

Follow this diagram and it will work, and if it doesnt you screwed something up..

get the fsm it will help

[wild_maxx]

i got the power all done the problem was that i took out the ecu and when i turned the power on it will not power the safc unless the ecu is plugged in. stupid me. i was wondering the color of the wires from ecu harness for the rpm, throttle, and i was told that u can use the blue wire from safc to ecu o2 meter wire to get a voltage reading reading. is this true?
