I have my engine management narrowed down to the following 3. If I could have your experiences with any of them I would really appreciate it.

Hondata I know is very effective but the closest tuner charges $175 hr to tune. Seems like allot to spend everytime I add/subtract something from my set-up.

So I guess it's really down to Vafc and E-Manage?

 

I've got a VAFC, I like it

Sk2 stage 1 looks nice too

 

e-manage. nothing compares to it

 

E-Manage and VAFC are map sensor controllers. Hondata is not.

Apples and Oranges

 

let me give you the best advice, find the best tuner and tune with what he does best with


hondata works for me

 

Trying to go fast and be on a budget seems like an oxymoron

 

Why isnt the AEM EMS mentioned here? This unit is very unappreciated!!

 

its alot more expensive than emanage and vafc

 

If I had a job the ems would be a no brainer. I am not trying to break any world records, just want something that is effective, cheap and can give me a decent A/F ratio

 

Isnt it true that u really cant tune the vafc with the spec b's?

 

*bump* need something objective

 

hondata works for me

 

Do you need to do any splicing of wires or any sensor tapping to use the VAFC? Or is it just plug and play?

 

vafc works great , but deff not plug and play. i gained 10whp thru the power badn with mine , but the thing that sucked is before vtec for some reason we always lean out. well we maxed the fuel out right bedore vtec and still a little leaner thna liked.
no biggie though.
i sold that and got hondata 4b and works great for me soo far.

 

So do you go to Ericks' or Import Builders to get it tuned?
