i have a vafc2 laying around and i was just wondering if its worth it to put the vafc2 on my s2k? will it increase power? give me some feedback.. thanks

 

Well if you already have it, why not put it on. Get a good tuner and you can pick up a few hp.

 

it will help a little.. but keep in mind... only at WOT...

 

i have seen around 5whp gained from vafc

 

now i have to get it tuned? or can i just mess with the vtec? will it make vtec hit harder like a vafc does to a b series???

few ppl on s2ki.com could get you those. problem is you will not know if its working for you unless you dyno tune it

 

why would you want the vtec hit harder?? this will just mean you have a dip right before vtec kicks in.. so you'll have a sligh loss of power for a split second.....

you're supposed to want the vtec crossover to be as smooth as possible...

by hit harder, i belive he meant hit earlier...like lower vtec crossover

 

still wouldn't hit harder.... it would switch sooner.. but if you lower it to kick in lower you might as well flatten out the curve so you dont have that dip in power..... therefore you really won't feel the vtec kick in as much....

thats for the tuner to do. i think he is just trying to get the most hp out of his motor with vafc

if thats all he wants to do... then just lean out the air/fuel ratio up top after 8600rpm.... and get rid of that little dip up top....

if he knows how to do, i'd just take it to a reputable tuner

 

yea pretty much, just lookin to gain some power with what i got, would it be abeter idea to wait when i get the headers intake and exhaust on then do it?? and what do you reccomend for i/h/e?

you can do it now and then redo it when you get the IHE. you have lots of options for IHE. it really depends on your budget. Intakes range from 275 to over 2k. headers 600-2k+. exhuasts from 400 to 2k+

 

BOOSTEDS2K used to have a vafc2 in his s2000 before he went turbo, we got +4hp to the wheels when we dynoed it.

 

^ is proof

yeah you guys have to tune my car when i get a few more things... for the time being till i go turbo..

 

have a tuner install it and zero it out. then get your i/h/e and then have it tuned.
ive see an ITR Dynoed one day, 5 runs, one stock, one with just exhaust, one with exhaust/intake, one with i/h/e and one with all of them and tuned with VAFC, saw a 30 Hp gain

 

Save yourself the trouble, get it installed properly and tuned.

this car is not the same as an ITR

 

but should i wait till i get i/h/e to get it insalled? how much u htink it is to get it insalled and tuned? i can install but damn its a $32k car lol i dont wanna mess it up hah

 

yes i understand its not an ITR...wtf...anyway, im just saying that yeah, it's worth it, but wait to get your parts on and then have it tuned

 

ok, il lookign to pay prob a total of $1500 for intake, header and exhaust.. will it make a big diff for $1500 plus the vafc tuned...? or no?
