Default AFC Hack with 2 or 3 Bar: Success stories please

I am looking for someone who is ACTUALLY running the hack with the a 2 or 3 bar. I would like to know what motor it's running out, what size injectors you're using, and your AFC settings (sensor in , sensor out, and fuel settings).

I just got a sensor from a Dodge Daytona Turbo I and I have 450cc DSm injectors. I don't know what settings to use. I need 2 and 3 bar settings cuz I don't know what bar this Dodge map is. Thanks

Honda MAP sensors are all 2bar (they just stop reading at ~11-12psi; although mine worked to 14psi for awhile. I suppose its just not reliable). And there is a few people that have used 3bar sensors...but i dont think its a good idea personally. If you really want to boost that much, get a real fuel system so you dont blow it up.

I just want to run 14-15 pounds. I can't get past 11 right now without throwing a code.

You can do it if you use a 3bar. The honda 2bar sensor isnt gonna do ya any good....they just max out at ~11-12psi.

The problem is your hitting the top of your fuel maps in the honda computer. You need to lower the map voltage so you can run more boost. But on the other side, that is gonna give your motor less fuel. You can counter this by increasing the fuel pressure....or run larger injectors.

Ive heard a few people using 550cc injectors and a 3bar map + the afc hack. Im sure it would run like crap - but i suppose it will give you enough fuel for 14-15psi.

I wouldnt risk it - not worth blowing up your motor. Hondata s100b is cheap.

So there's no way to safely run a 3 bar using the hack?

Nope. at least not safely.

Sell the VAFC and get some money back (~$200-250), then save another 200-400 to get the Hondata S100b + tuning.
