Default Piggybacking a piggyback ?

I have a 2000 prelude Supercharged.
My Q. is or how hard is it to hook A VAFC to the JR piggyback? Or do u by past the JR piggyback & hook the VAFC the cars ECU?
Who it even helps?
I do want to go Hondata, because I’m selling the car, so I don't want to dump to much more money in to it.

Thanks

You can do it... though don't do this if you're trying to add fuel w/o upgrading the fuel system at all. It won't increase fuel, it'll only decrease it. Though in general piggybacking a piggback causes weird situations that you sometimes have no idea what the stock ECU will do, but people have done this.

Why not replacing both piggybacks by a Hondata ? Wouldnt be so expensive and would be more dependable IMHO - and maybe with better results. Try to sell the piggybacks and get the hondata with the money ? it's not *so* expensive

But, i'm selling the car & it's a 8hr drive to get Hondata & tunned. So it isn't worth it i think.... Trust me, if i was to keep the car i would get Hondata...

ouch 8 hour
given the potential problems with stacking piggybacks, and the ensuing tuning nightmare, and limited tuning possibilities, i wouldnt add a VAFC there.. Fuel maps are certainly already skewed a lot by the JR unit, the VAFC could potentially do next to nothing :/
If you sell the car, you could tell the next owner to buy a Hondata / EMS and do the work himself ?
