VAFC is for VTEC engines and SAFC is for every other engine out there. If you have a bone stock motor you will not see gains by using a controller.

If it was 1999 then you might get alot of opinions on this. However, save your money.

Thank You Guys for the opinions.
Now i'm using VTEC B16 A intek manifold, do i need to change back to the original intek manifold so that i can install the SAFC?
And can it works very well?

Get which ever one is cheaper.

If you get a VAFC, you wont use the Vtec point adjustment feature.

VAFC=SAFC+Vtec point adjustment.

In your case you dont have a Vtec point to adjust, so either one will work.

Ideally a SAFC 2, is the nicest one for your setup ( but either safc 1 , 2 , neo, , vafc will work ).

Intake manifolds wont matter, either unit will go connected via ecu harness. So hardware doesn't matter .


------


side note alot of people prefer chipped ecus and a full tune. But if you have minor mods. I find the SAFC a great tool.
