Just put a deposit down on a Eunos Roadster, should be fun.

It's got some weird box marked Apexi that the guy who was selling it said was something to do with the air filter confused

Any idea what it might be? AFR control or something?

So what is the point in it then? Don't want to change the A/F mixture particularly!

OK, took a couple of pics as it doesn't seem to be the same as any on that link:




When you start the car it cycles through the LED indicators on the front and then settles at the bottom. As you can see the dial is set to -10. What do these numbers relate to? Is this set to ultra safe/conservative values? What happens if I turn it up? Can I safely? Anybody shed more light on what I can do.

The car feels sluggish at the moment but it is in desperate need of a service (can't confirm it's had a service for nearly 2 years yikesyikes although it's only done 4k miles in that time).

Thoughts?

Guys, I really appreciate it!

I understand what it's doing and I've had a read up, but it only seems to have the one dial so I can't adjust it over different RPM ranges. I am wondering if they are %ages having read the manual for a later AFC - so -10% means it is down on power. Tempting to adjust to 0 and see what happens, but will get it service & checked over first.

If anybody can find a manual or further info there's definitely a couple of virtual pints in it for them

Can't seem to find any more about it without a model number. Apexi don't even seem to have an email address on their website so have guessed a customer.services email address rolleyes

Have studied manual and I think there are just a couple pages on its operation rather than the set up / wiring up stuff, so I may have to try and get it translated somewhere!!

Just found this:

www.fd3s.net/afc_manual_gen1.pdf

It's a really early S-AFC manual, but the layout is very similar to the Jap one I have in front of me. The Diagrams correspond in section 5 - which is how to use it.

What it doesn't explain is what the lights are for, I guess it may be for setting up...

Will set it to 0% later and see if it's perkier

done a bit of googling and it seems 0 should be factory settings. Rather avoid what could well be internet hearsay myself, just unplug it and it should hit factory settings, if it feels up on power you know where the problem is

As said I'll get back to you with something concrete


Any news yet Stu?
