Default Apexi SAFC question

I'm getting the apexi SAFC soon, and had a question to anyone with a 4th gen with this installed.
Does the installation instructions have 1990-1993 accords on its list??? Does the instructions have the wiring to the computer for this vehicle???
Thanks

I don't normally post in here since I own a Civic. I accidentally clicked here. I'm glad I did. Any Apex-i unit(S-AFC or V-AFC) won't function correctly in your vehicle. If you go on A-pexi's website under the FAQ's you will find this fact. If your vehicle is not a VTEC model then you might be able to use it.

I speak from experience. I sold a V-AFC to a customer with a 5th gen accord last summer. His car started to hesitate when engaging VTEC. We checked with Apex-i and we found that you cannot use the V-AFC. They didn't say anything about the S-AFC so we thought it would be okay. Same problem. I would say try to get something else if your looking for a fuel controller. I hope this helps.

i dont think the instruction will have 90-93 accords. The wiring for any AFC is very simple. The hard part is to set up the SAFC. if the SAFC is set up incorrectly, it could messed up ur engine very badly. I would say consultant a quality guarge for more info.

i'm a technician for Honda, so i'm not worrying about the tuning. That'll be the fun part. I just want to make sure I know the wiring when i get it, or i'm gonna have to spend the next couple of days reading through the 93 accord ETM.

i was buried in the ETM for awhile during my install.

yes actually they will install them correctly and the VAFC's work just fine on f22b1 motors. ive installed two VAFC on 95 accords and both of them work flawlessly. i can scan you correct wiring instructions since there are some flawed diagrams floating around.. even on apexi's website.

Sabastian...Would you mind supplying me with the correct wiring diagram for the f22b1 motor for the VAFC because I plan to have it installed very soon. Or if you are in the DC/MD/VA area let me know and I'll be happy to stop by your shop. Price quote....
