what are the reviews on this... is it worth it or any good?. if anyone has it how do you like it and was it hard to instal..

I'm just looking for any info on it because it looks like a good air/fuel tunning tool.

It's hooked-up to your computers wiring harness just like e-manage,ss box etc... then you punch in the #'s and off to get tuned. Honda has a bigger after market than Nissan on their forum you can get the #'s for the safc. Enough to get you to get tuned. I wouldn't trust somebody elses tune everyones car is different.

Its a nice lille gizmo. It intercepts MAF readings, so ECU is tricked into adding more/less fuel, to make good A/F mixture. As simple as that.

does it display air/fuel in current time and have a playback? also i'm just wondering if i use this correctly would it be like a mini re-flash?.

and when i looked at them it is not model specific so does that mean i would have to modify the harness?

also if this is so awsome why dont more people have it?

no air fuel feedback..you can moniter one of the factory 02 sensors, but that's all. Also does knock monitering

Why more people dont use it is because the factory ecu seems something is up with the MAF signal and tends to adjust around what it sees, thus negating lots of the changes you initially make

can you monitor the factory O2 with the tunner or you need another guage?...

also if the factory ecu changes around it then wouldn't it be pretty useless? or does it eventually learn the new program

you can moniter the 02 sensor right on the SAFC2 screen.

On some cars teh SAFC2 works great..I just have not found this car to be one of them

Great, I just ordered this and now I see this post. :/ Imma have the boys at my local shop see what they can do. I called em beforehand and they said it should work all it needs is a tach adapter to read the rpms correctly. *crosses fingers*

So the factory ECU pretty much overrides this? This was going to be my next purchase.

They said with the 350Z and the S-AFC the tachometer wont work correctly so you need a tach adapter so the gauge works.

Cool. Tell me how it goes. I am getting mine in a week or so... damn ground shipping. I should have it installed soon after. A very reputable shop down here in miami is doing it for me so hopefully everything goes fine.
