ok heres the deal my friend has a 98 gs 300 lexus with the 2jz-ge in it and we have a safc installed in there, i need help setting it up the correct way.
1. i need to know if its a karmen or hot wire?
2. sens in/ out and sens cal. numbers?
3. use the white and yellow or pink and orange wires?
4. best ne points?
5. best hi and lo throttle% points?
i though i had it set up the right way for the longest time but i read so many conflicting storries in the searches that im not sure if mine are right, so any help would be appreciated. thanks

98 should be hot wire. That's all I know at this point.

So it's hotwire.

It's hotwire, so follow the installation guide on mkiv.com. Because it is a hotwire system, use the yellow and white wires. The pink and orange won't connect to anything.

For the rest, hmm, I believe the throttle calibration was a step in the installation that allows the afc to understand where closed and full open throttle is at; ie, closed = 0% and fully open = 100%.

I have a karmen type sensor, so I am not sure about calibrating the hotwire.

As far as tuning points, allow a dyno opperator to figure out which points are the best to tune when you get the car dynoed.

WHY DIDN'T YOU READ THE MKIV.COM WRITEUP LIKE I SAID FOOL! Lazy, lazy.

Here is what it said at the bottom of the page...

Next enter the following basic settings:

-Go to [main] ~>[setting] ~> [3. TH-Point] ~> [Lo-94, Hi-95]

-Go to [main] ~>[etc.] ~> [1. Sensor Type] ~> [1. Hot-Wire] ~> [in-12, Out-12] ~> [in-1, Out-1]

-Go to [main] ~>[etc.] ~> [2. Car Select] ~> [Cyl:6, Thr: UP]

-Go to [main] ~>[etc.] ~> [3. Graph scale] ~> [Ne = 7000rpm]

[Ne-POINT = 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000]

[Dec. -Air = NOT USED, unless you want to use it to compensate for venting your BOV to atmosphere]

thank u supra sonic!
i didnt feel like haveing to wait a few days before i can search on mkiv.com like i had to with this website, im not registered with mkiv.com yet. so does anyone have any starter settings? should i lean it out a bit before we dyno?

mkiv is a knowledge base there's no need to register with it; you just go there and look; thats where i learned to install my SAFC... make sure you use the wires for the hotwire setup and not the pink/orange wires for the karman vortex

Supposedly decreasing the fuel to air ratio (leaning out the car) a lot is suppose to give some substancial gains.

PM flypinoy457. He knows the settings, but it is better to dyno it to be safe.

damn! flypinoy457 mailbox is full, anyone else? i guess i will go to mkiv and check it out in the mean time, thanks everybody!

 

[flypinoy457]

Hey sorry my PM box is all messed up, I cleared it all out (YES FROM THE START) and when members try to PM me says it still full. **if a moderator reads this, can u please check out my account, would like to have a PM box again. ** If you need to get ahold of me my AIM SN: Flypinoy457

 

[Guest]

well can u share your settings? .....please.

 

[Aznplayer911]

settings are useless to share since every car has different mods... just leave everything at zero... and once u get to the dyno tune it from there... if you want you can start by leaning out the fuel curve... but that could be a bad idea... esp.. if your just guessing.
