And the problem was found...

miro, what you're saying is true when dealing w/ non factory turbo'd cars and/or cars w/ much larger inj and using large correction factors through the afc.

My car is certainly not factory FI. As a matter of fact they don't make my car factory FI even in Japan.

The catch with an SAFC is mainly two fold: The correction factors are not as finite and numerous as say a MAP ECU or obviously a standalone ECU. Also, as has been said, you can't control any type of timing at all. Although, most modern cars you can't control timing except thru the ECU anyway and even then not every ECU can be chipped or reprogrammed just like that.

If I could do it reliably, I'd love to run a simple Hondata, burn a chip, and call it a day. I can't. I can run an AEM possibly, but then that would possibly ruin my daily driveability and that's just not an option for me on this car since it is a DD.

You Honda guys have it pretty easy. Get a Hondata, burn a chip, and you can do quite a bit with FI. It's not mega bucks to do that, and lots of "tuners" are good at it. That's sweet that you guys have that option. Some of us are stuck at the extremes: Low boost w/SAFC or REAL boost w/standalone. It sucks but that's life.

BTW, I have a good buddy of mine that has a very similar setup to mine on the same type of car, except he has a built motor and running a lot more boost than I. He only uses an SAFC and has done well over 500whp. So it CAN be done, but I must admit he's pushing the limits of that SAFC pretty good.
