Cheap as chips tuning tools

[-Nemesis-]

Have been doing lots of reading through the great Aussie site Autospeed, it has lots of reviews on the remarkably cheap Silicon Chip kits you can buy, looks like there's a lot of potential for tuning tweaks.

Like this thing, looks like it does all the Apexi SAFC-II can (or whatever it's called, the MAF modifier), yet only costs $AU79 ! Use it to adjust the air flow meter output signal at over 128 increments, with each step having 127 adjustments.

Then you have things like a smart air/fuel mixture reader, with lean out alarm etc - $25!

Digital Pulse Adjuster (run an extra injector etc) for $71

The adjusters are controlled by a pretty neat looking hand controller, which is only $50 odd.



















Anyways, thought I'd share the cheaper alternative. What do people think the odds are of the fuel adjuster working with our 1UZ MAF's? Do they use a rising voltage for signal?

Was just thinking, for the boost guys struggling with blowing out MAF's: I wonder if we could run the MAF pre centri blower (etc) then use one of the fuel adjusters to bump up the signal.

Digital fuel adjuster is not suitable for early 1UZ afm adjustment

Why is that? Different output type?

Seems to be a heap of Soarer V8 guys running the Apexi version from what I read on other sites.

Will not work on a Karmen Vortex
