Taken from the APEXi web site...

Q: Will the VAFC work on 4 cyl. Accords?
A: No. The VAFC will not work correctly on 4 cyl. Accord models. 4 cylinder Accords incorporate a slightly different method of VTEC control causing the engine to hesitate at approx. 5000 RPM when the VTEC engagement point is changed. The VTEC AFC will work correctly on 6 cyl. Accords. Please double check our Documentation/ VAFC Updates page for the latest VAFC application charts

I don't have one but that's what the web site says. Also, you should be able to find them for well under $300.

 

where did you get this information? Whats the link

That's crap... I know several Accord guys that use them (including myself) and they work fine. VTec cross-over has to be set around 3500 though

 

so you have a accord and it works fine right? what year is your accord and is it a 4cyl or a 6 cyl cause according to apexi's website it works fine on 6 cyl accords? I have a 4 cyl 96 accord ex vtec so im sceptic if it will work properly.

 

95 Ex, F22B1 (4 cyl. VTec).... works fine

 

it will work, been there done that, so is 2035164413454753154374 other accord with four banger

 

awesome, so is it just a plug in, and to where the ecu??Or is it a lot more complicated then that? And if so does anyone know where the ecu on the 96accord is. Is it under the stearing wheel??

 

woah, if you dont know where the ecu is located i really dont recommend attempting a vafc installation...

 

ok so i figured it out its under the L/H footwell i never took a look for it anyways but i wasnt going to install it i was just curious ive never done any work on my car other then install a intake, plus i just got the car but thanks for the help since u didnt really tell me anything other then what i allready know

 

well im just saying it is more than just a power/ground hookup....since all the wires for it either tap into or splice into wires by the ecu i would say knowing where the ecu is located is pretty vital to installation.

heres an answer to your question - yes it is any good. it does a good job of what it does. when using for a tuning source it has its limitations.
is it worth 300 dollars? possibly if you really want it, depends on condition, i wouldnt pay that much for one as used ones can be pickedup for about $100 and they still do the same thing...

 

yeah alright well thanks and btw i live with an electrical engineer, soo the splicing of wires thats an easy ordeal
