At idle the O2 should bounce between .1 and .9v back and forth. In a 3rd gear pull expect somewhere between a .6 to .8v reading usually. Narrow-band O2 sensors aren't the most accurate of devices!

You need an EGT gauge and a wideband (5V) O2 sensor/gauge to do any real tuning. You can use your stock sensor as a guide but it will not be acurate. When the car enters open loop it ignores the O2 sensor anyway.

Best advice I have for you is to take is slow. start leaning out the mixture slowly and listen for detonation. When you have your EGT you can get more aggressive, till then take it slow.

You have to make sure you use your REAR O2 sensor. you can;t use the front one on the S-AFC at all.

And if you do use the rear O2 seonsor, that won;t be accurate either because the exhaust has been catalyzed by then and the O2 is to far away to give accurate readings.

In short, the O2 function on the S-AFC is pretty much useless.

A/F gauges are a tool, not a very good one, but a tool nonetheless. Our engines are very sensitive to knock, or rather, our pistons are very sensitive to knock. If you can hear knock it may be too late. I got lucky this past weekend, I've had some minor knock issues (barely audible) but it was very warm this weekend and I got KNOCK, very loud, very scary. My timing was keeping EGTs in check but I was just running too lean for the temp conditions. Problem solved and, thankfully, no damage.

DangeRS,

Go here: Road Race Engineering

This site will have all the answers you are looking for. I used it when tuning my car. It's mainly geared for a turbo setup but it'll help you greatly and increase your understanding on EXACTLY how to tune with your SAFC. Others I'm sure will feel differently but it worked great for me. Tell us if the site helped you at all. Good luck!

BTW: I tuned with an Apexi SAFC, Jumptronix A/F ratio meter, and VDO EGT gauge.
