Default vafc default values...will it blow up the itr?

my friend just told me that if you install a vafc with stock values, and you dont tune it, it will blow up the itr.

I called BS on this one, but usually he is right....

is he right?

TIA

No problem

Normally if its DEFAULT its the SAFE setting

Optimal would be a potential problem

So there's no way to hook up the VAFC and just monitor things for a while before taking it to the dyno.
There's no way to run OEM settings? As soon as it's plugged in, it's changed settings to VAFC default settings?
Thanks.

I just found this on Apex's site, does this mean you can plug it in AND have factory settings?
Please make sure that the INITIALIZE setting is set to the NO position. This menu can be found udner the ETC. Mode. The INITAILIZE setting should never be set to YES unless you want to reset all of the information to the default factory settings.

I'm not sure you guys know how this thing works...

The VAFC will have no fuel settings when it is installed. Everything will be set to 0%.

The inital settings include setting the rpm points, setting 0%/100% throttle, high throttle%/Low throttle%/ and I believe the initial setting for vtec is 4500rpm.

The only thing you will need to change to have your car operate under stock conditions is the vtec crossover.

No... your car will not blow up.

Read the manual. Then read it again. Then read it again. If you don't understand it then a)you shouldn't be installing the device yourself b)you shouldn't attempt to adjust anything.

i got a question on that.... some guy set my friend's vtec to 5800rpm's and he had a type R jspec motor and some other stuff but he said those were the best settings and he did the same thing to my friend's type R i always thought 5800rpms was hella high for a stock motor. but i didnt really say anything cuz that guy gots a type R, i dunno whats your guys opinions on it?
