Default Help Tuning N/A Civic With V-AFC-II

Was wondering if anyone had any info or advise for tuning my civic with the V-AFC-II. Here is my setup

D16Y8
Header back 2 3/4" exhaust
Intake
B&M FPR
MSD Ignition with V-Tec engagement set to 4000 rpms

I bought the VAFC with every intention of turboing my car, but the budget turbo set up I was putting together kept falling through so now I just want to tune the vafc to the upgrades I do have until I boost it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Jeremy

yep, wideband.

I have a friend who is running a turbo on a VAFC II and hasn't used a wideband yet. Kinda spooky if you ask me.

Not really, the basemap for the afc hack (-40 to 4k, -35 4k+) works very well.

Not all that well. Thing barely turns a 16 sec 1/4 up here. Its got forged internals too. haha

and the basemap sucks. I mean , yeah he can drive it but he needs new plugs every few weeks. Tune it!

Nice avitar!

Im sure it works for you, but do you have all forged internals and the ability to run 11psi (maxed out stock MAP) ? Actually the car could pry run 15-18psi just fine, need a new MAP sensor and ECU that actually knows what to do.


When we use the "basemap for the afc hack (-40 to 4k, -35 4k+)" it still throws the CEL with WOT in 3rd/4th gear.
