will the vtec controller on the vafc work with obdO?
i need vtec in my life.. i really dont want to run the msd rpm activation switch

thanks

 

dont no but is ne one selling a vafc?

 

Yes, of course it will.
if you are using a non VTEC ecu, you won't need to hook up the VTEC oil pressure switch. just the solenoid. if all you want is VTEC, then all you need is the RPM input and the VTEC solenoid wired. I would recommend connectng the MAP (they call it pressure) as well.
Very simple, and follow the instructions, connect the power AND ground cables just as they recommend.

couldnt you just use a vtec ecu?

Yes he could. That requires an obd0 to obd1 wiring convertion plus the ECU itself.
I say he would be better off with the VAFC. On top of being able to activate VTEC practically anywhere in the RPM range he can also tune the air/fuel ratio (dyno time) something he could not do with the OBD1 ECU alone.

There are people who swear by the OBD1 change over, I have never seen a SOHC make more power just because of the Obd1. To each his/her own

 

A PWO ECU from an integra xsi, or PR3 ECU from a SIR (88-91 b16's had em) can run vtec without much rewiring. You only have to add 4 wires and a ground. But I have heard you can run VTEC off the PM6 with a VTEC controller too. You can go either way. I am going both. PR3 with a VAFC.

That is a bad idea. The PR3 or PWO will throw a check engine light because it will look for a Knock sensor, something you most likely won't have. Also, you will need to install another O2 sensor or it won't run right either.

 

i was running a PR3..... ran bomb **** and ***.


then hooked up a vafc to tune out a few more ponies.

 

im just useing the pm6 and vafc.. no need to go through all the hassle with the obdo to the obdo 1 conversion.. when im just using the vafc.. thanks guys

 

you got a chip on that PM6 to raise the redline???

 

jun, spoon, mugen chips are all on their way.. and had a friend make a chip but just dont really like it hes good and all but not for me.. friends do half *** things for another friend

 

so a first-gen b16a has 2 knock sensors?
pr3 and pw0 ECU's expect 2 knock sensors?
thanks.

 

I got the PR3 and the 2 O2 sensors and it doesn't throw any codes.

 

i know it (b16a1) has 2 o2 sensors, but it doesn't have 2 knock sensors, does it?

no it has 2 o2's, that is what he was saying.

 

Going OBD1 to chip mine. But other than that I ran a PW0 with a Vafc with no problems. I just pulled it out to get ready to chip mine because it will then be able to do alot more tuning vs. the Vafc.
