ok so i appologise early for starting another afc thread but i just couldn't find one to really help me. i am trying to find a good ac for under 1000 and i just can't choose should i use apexi safc I, II or neo, greddy e-manage ultimate or something else.
i am getting a 91 vr4 and putting tube exhaust manifolds/ downpipes, 750 injectors, dual fuel pumps, fpr and fmu, fmic kit, exhaust, air filter kit and pre turbo intake pipes, billet flywheel and 6-puck clutch.

some of this is already on the car the rest will be added i am trying to run between 18-20 psi on E85 and i need as much input as everyone has to try and help me find the best air fuel controller i can buy for 1000 or less.

If you're really shooting for that much stay away from the SAFC and the NEO, the correction just isn't right and you'll have too much timing. I'm not too fond of Greddy but I know alot of guys on here with the Ultimate are having alot of luck and can probably help you out, so at least there's alot of support. Personally I like the AEM-F/IC conrolers. I've not done one on the 3S yet, and if you really want the Karman MAF support you'll have to use the more expensive one. Price wise the ultimate and the AEM are about the same. Personally I love AEM, I hate Greddy.....but in your case based off the support you'll get from the ultimate guys, I'd have to say that's probably going to be your best bet.....oh yea, and ditch the FMU, that just complicates matters.

Just my .02

AEM.

Most of the notable piggybacks can only run 720 injectors and even then your timing will be all messed up without some form of timing control. Good luck.

Correction on that. I just noticed that it was an ethanol setup. Knowing that it takes almost 3 times the amount of fuel to run ethanol a piggyback is just for you. Sorry for the oversight. MAF Translator Gen 2, I am running one right now. ~$400 with the MAF sensor. Plumbing will be extra but it's within your budget.
