any one shed some light on this for me please. also i haven dont any setting up on it as i have no idea how too, will any tuners be able too do this? is it a lengthy thing too do.

rep is waiting for your replies guys.

cheers

For fueling the safc2 took him about 5 mins ( he was extremely fast ) to put a full basic map in the safc2. On the dyno he did one run plotting existing fueling ( which was overfueling ) ; and then two runs to improve the fuelling and presto I had 1.8x the hp I started with but he only tuned on boost. Make sure your tuner tunes low revs as well as he on boost I think this is important with a Starlet..

I would recommend having your car in good shape before the dyno -eg. clean air filter, good quality fuel filter, radiator coolant , thermostat , plugs , leads , distributer, oil type and levels checked etc.

i dont really understand them mate so gota find a tuner who has some experince with them as dont wana do it wrong lol plus how do you get the air flow etc working? does it have too be set up for that too work? as flickin through channels it has the pressure work, an thats it. revs are kinda workin but very slow which i assume cos it has oo be set up. but air flow doesn do nuffin. which i thought it would as its a air flow converter.

plus the settings have been all reset too how they are from factory.

Just looked through the manual and it says airflow will only work on engines with air flow meters (hot-wire/flap). The starlet has a map sensor instead of a maf sensor.

I can't explain the rpm measurement problem, the wiring instructions state that either rpm signal feed is good, i used rpm1 (pin 7 on the bigger ecu plug) when I wired yours in. This is the signal from the ignition coil.

which safc you got? you have the manual with pinouts? and you got an ep82 or 91? so i will match the pinouts for you and see if you did them fine. also your using an fcd with it inline?

That is the wiring diagram I used, without the purple knock sensor wire.
