It also doesn't read knock counts, but a percentage of knock.

Am I misunderstanding something somewhere as I though that you can't read knock on an OBDII car?
Umm, it won't work on an OBD-II ECU.Exhaust Depot said:Actually it hooks up to your stock knock sensor if i recall and lets you know if the car is seeing a knock signal.
For the price of the AFC, i would go ahead and get the Emanage instead, it conrrolls ignition.
The only draw back is that you need the profect-e01 boost controller to go along with it
About $495.00, I think but that's with the basics. I believe in order to get timing control, you have to get the full harness and software.Stock said:You can get a second generation AFC for around $300-$350, how much do E-Manages go for??
Are you saying that it bypasses the ecu & just reads it straight off the knock sensor?Exhaust Depot said:Actually it hooks up to your stock knock sensor if i recall and lets you know if the car is seeing a knock signal.
I've been pondering this option as well. On the E-manage I'm assuming you can you adjust the fuel with the eo1's little hand held gismo & LCD screen as well as a laptop...I would hope?For the price of the AFC, i would go ahead and get the Emanage instead, it conrrolls ignition.

The S-AFC II does read knock straight off of the knock wire. It is a percentage and so you will need to look for percentages upwards of 140% for getting bad knock counts. Of course, if you had datalogger, you wouldn't need the emanage or the SAFC readings.Anyway, If is true about the S-AFC II it would be worth it's weight in gold when it comes to "piggyback" tuning just for the ability to read knock. Then again it's only a persentage of the knock & not the actual knock count? So maybe not :?
Maybe so. I didn't know that the profec could interface with the Emanage.Khryz said:I thought you don't "need" a laptop for the E-Manage. You can do everything just on the regular Profec screen, I though.
Won't come close to a true datalogger (which is what I have).Exhaust Depot said:Oh by far it will spank the afc.
1. It has 3hr worth if data logging. Thats gold with in itself.
Not useful, but the datalogger can display as well.2. It can display A/F ratio unlike a voltage value like the AFC.
Not needed. A luxury that will never be used.3. Has 3 warning , two that show up on the e01, and 1 that gives a 14v output to a wire that you can connect anything to (like a shift light).
Again, not needed unless you plan on running a race car (which the average individual isn't).4. Can run extra injectors.
Luxury again. I wanna know about my ECU, not how to blow up my engine with NOS!! :roll:5. Has 1 digital input and 1 analog input which you can have an output for each at what ever value you set it to. So i guess you can have NOS turn on at X rpm. (speculating but i think it can be done)
Done on a pocketlogger and can be viewed on the computer and printed out.6. You can remove the memory card and share it with yoru buddy. WHen I sell the eo1 for the SRT-4, i set the values in my car then install it in my customers car. Makes it easier to get up and go.
