Default Re: Impartial review of the SMC (zip)

I am interested in getting till I have the $$ to get my Hondata. And for $90-100 it seems to be a good deal, I would only be out for $100 and I will have to buy 440cc's anyway..

Thanks Zip
BTW is Roaring Turtle gonna do a write up on the product also?

Awesome. I'm waiting for mine to come in from Diablo. I'll post another review Tuesday night/Wednesday afternoon on how my install goes.

Yeah but I guess a J&S don't hurt to tune the thing either.

I guess you could do it with an A/F gauge also. Rough but it would get the job done.

you can use the J&S to see where it is leaning out and allso see where it begins to detonate. You have to have a monitor for your J&S though. And then just make the adjustments to the SMC.

Accurately tuning any FI setup involves dyno tuning w/ a wideband AF sensor. For rough street tuning, an AF gauge and "reading" the spark plugs usually will suffice.

I may be mistaken but I think there's a difference between stock O2 sensors and the widebands that cost $150?

Well with the AFC hack, driving at part throttle is jerky. The ecu can handle the 440cc injectors duty cycle i guess. It cuts fuel at around ~5%. Does the SMC cure this flaw?

Nope
Are you running the SMC? It is a different circuit then the AFC, it may feel different.
