Re: SMC faq (RH+G)
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What are the similarities and differences between the SMC and afc?
Both the SMC and afc are MAP sensor and rpm oriented. They basically function on the same input parameters.
The SMC has advanced features that the afc lacks:
1) Built-in electronic MAP limiter to keep CEL from activating.
2) Can control up to 550cc injectors
3) Built-in logic to keep the barometer sensor code from activating.
4) On-the-fly tuning.
5) One touch programming.
6) Stealth size, keeps it away from prying eyes.
other SMC attributes:
a} Real-time MAP correction for unparalleled drivability under idle, daily driving, and boost.
b) State of the art 20MHz RISC processor
c) Precise adjustment screws for accurate MAP correction
d) Reverse and surge voltage protected for long-term dependability
e) Adjusments are stored on an EEPROM for ultimate reliability
f) Easy five wire hook-up for Hondas/Acuras

what does the safc have that the smc doesnt? so far i think i noticed
+shiny graphical display: pressure/boost (no need for boost gauge), tp, rpm, correction, (number/graph/analong); peak hold, graph memory; trace
+hi/low (smc can cause jerking at different tp?)
+tp wide/narrow (what does this do?)
8point, 500 increments (smc500 has 17points in 500increments)
-doesnt support obd0?
-need to do map hack?
works with 450's? upto what? can you use vafc on nonvtecs?
basically im trying to decide between the smc500 for 150 or safc/vafc for 200(used)
