Default how do I wire vafc up with blue box

like the post says, I am running greddy's blue box and I would like to hook up my afc as well to fine tune. Do I just wire both sets of map signal modifying wires together. How welll does this work? 2 piggy back computers sounds allittle iffy...thanks in advance

You definitely shouldn't wire them in parallel. Each unit needs to be wired in series with each other and the ECU and MAP sensor.

I'm not sure how the blue box works on the inside, so I can't say which one should go in front of the other.

Does anyone know which should go 1st?
Can a blue box be used on an EF civic?
I'm using a vafc for my mini me setup.

i would have the blue box going first, then the output fromt eh blue box that goes into the ECU, i would tap in the VAFC there. Note: you will not see boost on your VAFC since the blue box alters the MAP. I would do it this way, since if you altered it before the blue box it may convert your altered signal more or back to some standard setting.

either way, do it after the blue box, that's how I have my VAFC wired into my prelude with teh JRSC, it is wired in after teh JR electronics.

I dont know about that. my friend had his vafc hooked up with the blue box and it sucked complete ***. everytime changes were made on the vafc, the wouldnt keep cause of the blue box. thats just from what Ive had partial experience from.

Was this setup also an EG 92-95?

The only reason I'm askin this is cause I'm goin to a mini me turbo setup and I
have both (Greddy blue box & Apexi VAFC) I haven't found any definitive answers on whether or not both these items will work together on an EF 88-91 d16a6 block with the VTEC head swap. I currently have the PM6 computer also. If anyone
know I'd appreciate it . thx
