I searched and did not see anybody with any experience with the V-AFC2 yet.
It appears its only available in Japan but you can get it from ebay, etc...

Does anybody on here have any experience with it yet? It looks a little better, but I dont care a whole lot about the looks of the thing.




Herer is some comparison specs

DISPLAY
The new Vtec AFC-II utilizes a state of the art visual display lighting called Vacuum Flourescent Display (VFD) to provide a bright & clear visual information. A new dot matrix monitor enabled a variety of information to be displayed simultaneously where the driver can check quickly. Information relayed can be either displayed numerically (analog gauge style) or graphically.

BODY
The body of this new product is slimmer & smaller (H52 mm x W126 mm x D18 mm) than the previous offerring. This ergonomically designed body houses only a "center button" which toggles & rotates where it enables the driver to navigate (4-axis toggle: up& down, and left & right) and to select functions of the Vtec AFC-II. This button also has a feature that enables the driver to fine tune any parameters. All these features in the new model's user interface made it much easier & efficient compared to the older model.

FUNCTION
MEMORIZE 2 TYPE OF SETTING DATA
The new Vtec AFC-II can save two data setting from data collected with respected to air flow adjust rate, throttle duration, engine RPM, etc. The driver could use these two settings in a variety of driving conditions, be it track, street, or just plain cruising.

PASSWORD
To avoid the new Vtec AFC-II from tampering by unauthorized users, a password can be set for protection.

WARNING
The driver can set up various warning functions in order to monitor the engine operation. These functions includes incoming air flow rate, suction pipe pressure, engine knock RPM, etc.

Others
Settings & data stored in the new Vtec AFC-II will not be lost even if the it is disconnected from the vehicle battery power. RPM signal for air flow & pressure sensors can be adjusted in 12 points in 1% increments depending on fuel settings in +50% to -50%. Or the RSP can be set in increments of 200 RPM. Throttle opening duration: Adjustable by size.

Good post. I haven't done any research on them yet, that sheds at least some light.

inlinefour has it, a couple other places too

 

do these just plug in now, the first one you had to splice in

 

You have to splice it in. The VAFC is universal, not for specific models. So for them to sell something you don't need to splice, they would have to have various applications to accomodate the different ecu plugs, which they don't. So you either have to have someone like Kenji fab something up for you, or splice it.

 

i have one but i havent messed with it yet

 

i might be able to get a few ..$320 +sh (may not be the best deal in town)

 

They are available for the US Market and us distributers can get them now from apexi-usa.

Usually goes for $305 shipped+

 

Yup... I thought so...My sources are overpriced still...I can get the VAFCI hella cheap though.

 

this kenji guy sell a harness that you can plug into your ecu?, what do it connect to the plug thats like halfway down the cord and then into the ecu, can soemone give me this guys info

 

it looks cool, thats about all i can say
the black especially way nicer than the blue series ones

 

they work fine but are intended for the K-series fo sho!!

 

anyone know if there's a plug and play harness for these already?

 

contact kenji on this board. That is his username. He makes all kinds of custom harnesses. The VAFC plugs into the harness, then the harness plugs into your ECU. You can pull it out whenever you want.
