Default vafc2

I just bought a vafc 2 to get my car tuned. Where could I buy the harness to just plug it up it for any obd1?

It's 2008 and people are still using hack piggy back systems? There's so many engine management systems on the market today. My advice is to ditch that thing and just get a chipped ECU on Crome and have it tuned that way if you're on a budget. It will most likely save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Well I just rebuilt my motor and I was told that a vafc would be fine for what I need. I just have a few bolt ons nothing crazy I just need a simple tune its runs a little better until I go turbo then I'll worry about getting hondata. Plus I already bought it for 160 shipped. So back to my main question where can I get a harness just so I can plug it up?

im not sure if they even make a plug n play harness for a vafc. just wire it yourself. shoudlnt take more than a couple hours if youve never installed one.

I dont care that you're using a VAFC now, but please do us all a favor if/when you turbo it....Get a real EMS. Even if that means getting Crome (which i use because i'm cheap ). Just whatever you do, dont tune a turbo setup on a VAFC in 2008...please!?!

Haha, you made a wise choice, now I suggest you find a tuner in your area to get the most out of that chipped ECU. And toss that VAFC2 up on Ebay and I'm sure it will sell to some kid that doesn't know any better yet.

before choosing which program to use on the ECU ie hondata(which requires more money and parts added to ecu), crome, and more. Find out what tuners are in your area, and what they like to use.
