Why not go Hondata or something better than VAFC? Use the FPR to richen, and the VAFC to lean.

You are supposed to be able to add fuel, but the VAFC adds fuel very poorly. It leans out just fine, but it doesn't add fuel to a stock program all that well. Definitely get the FPR.

And I hear ya on the VAFC hondata stuff. Sure hondata is better, but there are NO real hondata tuners in my state, and with the VAFC, I can tune the car myself rather than paying someone else to do it for me.

I agree totally and as far FPR's go i reccomend a B&M FPR, i have tried others and the dont seem to work as well as the B&M 4 some reason.

Make it a roadtrip. As long as you don't make any significant changes to the engine, you should never need it redone.

i have the p30 version of the mugen program on my p28 with a vafc and b&m fpr. My initial a/f readings were pretty much 12:1 all across the board before I even touched the vafc. So yeah it definitely helps. I'm sitting at 14.5:1 before vtec and high13:1 in vtec now. Fuel pressure set at 40psi......all of this on a B16A.

also, with the mugen program, you will NOT need to add fuel anywhere more than likely.
