It looks exactly like a regular v-afc but some new buttons, useless color features, and a few more points in order to adjust fueling.

Decent for a very basic set-up.

If it wasn't so damn expensive it may be worth having as a most basic tuning devise. But for the cost you can get much better IMO.

Crome Pro, Uberdata, You can even pick up a complete Hondata Setup for around that price.

Now for Hondata to be compatible on an h23a1, I would need a p72 ecu from an LS Integra, won't I?
I know there is a thread on here somewhere that explains all of this... It was something like an LS ecu is needed for Hondata to be compatible with an h23a1...

You would need to run a p74 or p75 ecu for the h23a. I can't give prices out... but for cheaper than the safc neo you could have the s200 base unit.

oh okay. I guess I got my ecu's mixed up there, sorry bout that. So with one of those ecu's (p74/5) I could run s200... is there any other mods I would need to do to make it compatible?

94 Si, h23a1
obd1
so all I need is p74/5, and then s200 will work fine, right?

I see in your sig you tune as well. I will try my best to order s200 from you a.s.a.p. I just want to see what few mods I can get before hand when you go to tune it...

You can get socketed P28's and P72's for $150-200.. then pick up Hondata and you're good. Otherwise run Crome Pro and do it yourself. That's what I want to do.. avoid $400 Hondata w/boost and tuning costs.

That is my plan also^^^^^

And ECX you don't even need a vtec ecu for your setup, it will be real cheap.

it's not "easy" if you are a beginner and dont know how an engine will react to certain changes. It took me awile to get accustomed to the actual tuning aspect.

i read on pgmfi.org for awhile, then downloaded crome and toyed with it to get used to how everything worked. Asked questions and research about certain things i didnt understand. And now here i am, tuning my own car.

Its not something you want to just jump into. You'll end up doing more bad than good.

Just buy a good Air fuel gauge setup that comes with the wideband. You will want it no matter what anyway
