    b4 anyone says do a search, i have. only how do install sorts of threads come up

    my question is are they worth while on a 4age, im looking into getting cams and obviously will need some form of a/m ecu or piggy back

    for the same price will i find somthing better? does the 500 rpm increment tuning too much of a gap in revs?

    pros and cons of afc compared other piggy back systems?

    any extra info that i should know about?

    i have been looking around for a budget management and have found these to be reasonably priced

    cheers,

    stefan

    its prolly about time i made a stefans questions thread

    ^^^^

    From my past experience and knowledge.. piggy back stuff in generally only good on ecus that are remapable anyway.. IE NISSAN crap..

    get yourself a local complete aftermarket ECU that will do everything that your APEXI will do but for half the cost.

    an safc only costs $150 ish....
    Adaptronic would be better, but much change from $1500 after dyno?
    me thinks not.

    i know of a 4age that had adj. cams and a safc2 put in it.
    after the safc a whole 7rwkw. top end increase.

    solved some under and over fueling issues though.

    i was thinking of running a neo on my 4agze.

    i knew the nissan fan boys were getting good figures from them, so i thought it might be worth while. but i guess at the end of the day power costs heaps of money and it really needs to be done right. thought it might be worth a try but for 7kw odd increase in power its not worth spend $1000

    7rwkw is like a 10% increase in power in most 4age applications,

    if u had cams and shit then u could do better, but keep in mind 7rwkw's is heaps for a engine that puts out factory 86-96fwkw's

    haha glad u put it that way leo, never thought of it. i guess if i got the cams grinded to 252 degrees (stock being 242) then 7kw gain isnt all that bad. how does the stock ecu like mild cams?
