Hello, recently I have been seeing a lot of people asking about A/F gauges. I understand the point of an A/F gauge, but what is the use of getting an A/F gauge if you can not adjust it anyway? Also, the same goes for oil pressure and oil temp. The reason I am asking is because I have been looking into getting some gauges, thanks for all the help.

 

well, they are used as precaution to warn you when your motor is in trouble

 

You can adjust it with an AFC or SFC.

 

or a VFAC

 

What's VFAC?

 

It's made by Apex'i and it basically does the same thing as a SFC but it allows you to modify your VTEC engagement point too. I think they sell for about $400.

 

Ohh, you mean a VAFC.

J/K, just bustin your chops.

 

Boy I autta......back hand your ass. You better give me some respect. I've got the second most miles on my car and I STILL OWN JOO!!!!!!

 

ok, let me get this straight, if I buy a/f gauges and oil temp gauges, and I don't have a way to modify A/F. It won't be idiotic to have the gauges? Sorry, for the questions, where I come from everyone who has gauges can modify them, just making sure I wouldn't be a complte idiot for getting them, how much do they cost anyway?

 

A/F gauges are cheap, they run about $50. Easy to install, too, you just need to tap a few wires. If you get it & the A/F ratio is fine, then you're good to go... and if it's not, then seeing the incorrect reading everyday should motivate you enough to buy a controller to adjust the mixture.

 

What is an SFC? I've only heard of a VAFC.

What is the cheapest method?

Would a Fuel Pressure Regulator Solve any of the leaning out problems?

 

you don't really have a use for them. It'd be kind of pointless to waste your money on them seeing that your car is so close to stock. And also, i highly recommend an EGT gauge over the A/F gauge.

 

yes

 

So if I have a A/F and then get the Fuel Pressure regulator won't I need to get a Fuel pressur guage to do the modification that I need to do?

 

yah you put that under the hood tho.. not on yer dash

 

Ahhh... Thanks
