After what mods on my 02 accent is it necessary for a s-afc.
Thanks
Drew

 

well, it's really not necessary until you go some forced induction route, either turbo/super or naaaaaaaaaaaaaawz. with i/h/e/bbtb/bim, you still don't need it, but you'll get more out of the car with it. i mean, with the s-afc, we could get more power out of a stock tib, nevermind one with mods.

Most cases an S-AFC will realize around 7-15hp to the wheels give or take a couple, on a n/a car with bolt-on modifications depending on how extensive your bolt-ons are. The more engine mods one has on his or her engine will further the need for it (S-AFC). Reason being is the stock fuel map & A/F ratio is no longer optimal (as if it really ever was to begin with). Thats why S-AFC tuning is more essential on a n/a car with bolt ons (especially heavily modified engines ie.I/H/E, BBTB, und.pulley, camshafts, BIM, ported head...) than a stock n/a car.

So as for a stock engines realizing more hp than a modified n/a engine? Hmmm you may want to rethink that one. wink

So to answer Blue's question, i believe it's up to you. If you plan on doing every possible n/a mod (for a daily driver wink ) then wait until you perform that last mod before doing the S-AFC. Lets say, have intake, header, exhaust and buy a S-AFC and tune it for your application, you will have to RE-tune your S-AFC if you further your mods like aftermarket Camshafts or a lightweight underdrive pulley set.

Hey koreandude, I think what Turb was saying was that with the S-AFC he could EVEN get more power out of a stock tib and one with mods he got a lot more with one.

 

Don't forget that our cars come runs very rich from the factory; if you lean a stock car a bit with the s-afc, you'll definitively see some gains on the dyno.
