you need to tune it on a dyno to see any benefit. dont go messing with it if you dont know what you're doing.


what mods do you have to made you feel you needed a vafc in the first place.

Dude... if you put a Vtec controller on there, you'll mess up your power band. Unless you have the correct modifications, you really dont need Vtec to roll over sooner. Putting the car on a dyno will show you that. When Vtec kicks in sooner, you are most likely loosing horsepower and messing up the power band.

******* ricers and their VAFC's.

IMO one of The worst tuning product on the market.

Your Vafc won't do you any good until your brain has the capacity to understand how engines work.

i'd say sell it and just use a chipped ecu with crome or hondata and get it tuned properly on a dyno...you'll get better results.
