I just got the S-AFC this weekend for $330 at a local shop. Here it is.

I'm still waiting for the new CD player. Should get it today. Anywho, here are some pics with my old RB full exhaust put on and newly painted rims.

side angle

Finally... The gauges!

your shifters missing.

I just noticed that i posted the pic with the right exhaust tip hanging low. The muffler fell off a mount it's fixed though.

Yeah. I'm making a short shifter. I pulled off the black thing and I'm threading the shaft connected to the ball and then put a sleeve over that and then some threads on top of that. I'll post those pics when that's done.

looking good



prepare yourself for the autometer gauge bashing. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683431.gif

damnit i was just gonna say that first..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

i like the wheels, they look better white



mike

$140 dollars is not that cheap. It's not that important of a part to buy just yet. I'd rather buy other, more important parts now. Some time in the future I'll buy one but while I still have other things to do that goes to the bottom of my list. I'll settle for the cost effective option for now

Hey, that's where I mounted mine, copy cat!! How did you mount it? Mine is flush with the surface below the radio. Thank god I work at a machine shop. Autometer gauges are better than stock. I mounted mine where there is the vent above the logicon.

Its looking good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png . Why is the S-AFC mounted up the top in the fourth pic?

Nice interior your going to have.Love the guage setup on the A-pillar.That momo wheels is a nice touch.Those wheels in white make the car look 10 times better.Your car is starting to look https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Thanks guys I took the pic of the S-AFC installed after the gauges. There were gauges under the radio so i just filled up the holes with epoxy then sanded it and painted it. It was fairly simple. I should have the cd player in tonight.

Looks to me like its just sitting on top of the ac controls. He was probably running wires when he took that pic.

yep

lookin' good man https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

That's pretty neat but the S-AFC is cash money so I gotta show it off. What's with the plastic cover over the ashtray. The two 7's I've had both have had the greenish/yellow discoloration. Is that from like smokers before me or is it just the plastic going bad? Which gives me an idea. Would it be possible to dye it with Rit dye. I colored my plastic R/C parts with that stuff back in the day. It worked perfect for those but is the plastic different and would it warp or melt or something like that if it goes into boiling water?

yeah but cash money makes it look good to break into.

Yeah, true. I'm gonna tint the window like a mofo when i get it running. I hope that helps deter the thiefs, plus I live in the burbs so I'm not too worried and I dont go into the city that much.



And Erik that pic is hilarious in your signature. Is that you? And is that a mullet?

nice .. I have mine mounted in the ashtray.. well I ganked the ashtray and put it in there. It's not a clean install since it has spaces around but It fits and it doesn't slide around yet still easily read due to it's angle.

What are the main differences between the S-AFC and the S-AFC II? I've seen a ton of RX-7's with the S-AFC, but none with the S-AFC II. Is there any reason for that, or is it just because it is much newer?

It's the newer model of the S-AFC I don't think they sell it in the states. I've seen it on ebay a lot though. bl|nk, you should cut out a hole where the S-AFC can stick out so that you can see it still and you won't have the spaces around it.

naaa it's forsale.. ordered microtech tonight to replace my brittle engine harness and so i can ditch the MAF https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



i'm happy i didn't cut anything up cause this setup only lasted like a month ahah

oh yea and the S-AFC comes in 3 models. 1st being old old skool knob style adjustment. 2nd gen the one I have and maiersq has. 3rd gen (S-AFC II) same functions as the S-AFC (2nd gen) but with different display and it now taps into the knock sensor.

now whats wrong with autometer gauges?. Is that a RB exhaust?

what does that afc do?

At least he's not sportin' APC gauges. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Check out this gauge thread on the other board. They really don't like Autometer....



Gauge thread

Yes, that's the RB turbo back exhaust. The S-AFC is a fuel controller that allows you to adjust the fuel mixture like 50% lean or rich in 500 rpm incriments. It also shows you your airflow, fuel mixture, and i believe it shows pressure. There may be more that I can't think of. Man I can't wait to go cruisin' again!!! Shoot out some wicked flames. It sucks not having an engine in the car.

ive seen a 4psi difference between autometer guages, and thats not even hooked up to the engine!



mike

still better then stock gauges

tru better than stockl\

modifies the AFM's signel. Basically fools the computer into thinking it need more fuel for the situation or less fuel. Then it just does some other little things like taps into TPS to give you a read out for the throttle position, digital tach.. amount of correction da da da.
