Theyre pretty pointless imo,all you can do is change the vtec changeover point and A/F ratio..basically it changes the information the computer gets and therefore changes vtec point etc..
You'd be better saving and getting a Hondata later down the road.

If you must though,theres the A'pexi VAFC and Buddy Club has one too cant remember what its called though..

Dont even bother with it. The only time i would ever mess with the VTEC engagement is if you were FI and wanted to move it up/down in order to get the most of the turbo's spool. If you were going to do this, you wouldnt use an AFC or Apexi Neo, you'd use a good EMS like Crome, Hondata, Neptune, AEM, etc...

your money would be better spent on an intake/exhaust.

Unless you have a 3-stage VTEC (OBD jdm D15b motor) or are boosting and letting a tuner touch your car, i wouldnt advise getting one.
