Re: acf and tuning

Temporary... Just so you can dyno the car in FWD mode.

Re: acf and tuning

Would I be able to drive it like that for like 15-20 Mins to Elite and then back after the dyno and all?

Re: acf and tuning

Just make sure you don't drive it with a welded VC in AWD, I've never done it, but im sure it isn't good

A lot of people do, helps you get better traction on the lauch. Its not exactly good for the car though.

I've been driving with one in my AWD for the last couple years with no problems.

Yeah its not bad when you have power steering either.

CRAIG

And as far as the AFC goes. When I installed mine I soldered all the wires and then insulated them. I had some quick connect but I don't really trust them. Like Shane said on something trivial I would use them but not with a tuning device. It took a little more time but I think its worth it and it will never fail due to a lose connection.

Re: acf and tuning

Sounds like I'll be soldering them together. We'll see how well this works, I've never been the best at soldering small things together. Always ends up in one big clump, haha. I guess I could use heat shrink also, just incase anything breaks apart.

(edit)Is there an adapter that I have to buy for my S-AFC I? This one was off of an early '90's 240sx and I was just making sure I have everything I need before I install it?

Re: acf and tuning

You could always use a weatherpack connecter(s) or a Deutsch connector(s) instead of the alligator connectors or whatever you want to call them.

Re: acf and tuning

I use butt connectors on the majority of wiring that doesnt take alot of load. Its pretty hard for a butt connector to loosen unless there is some serious tugging on each end of the cables.
