Default VAFC in F23A Accord

I already put the Apexi VAFC in my 2000 Accord once and then found out it wasn't made for my series engine. Isn't there some way I can get it to work for my engine? Let me know what I have to do.

Plus I'm looking to do spark plugs, spark plug wires, cam and cam gears, flywheel, pulleys, and hi flow cat. Any suggestions on a good site to go to? Thanks

ive never seen it work on accords but there are people that swear that it does, that apexis wiring diagram is just a bit off. why not just get the afc, and instead of using the money for those upgrades, save for a turbo kit. thats my suggestion

Yeah especially the flywheel. There is no need to replace that unless you're going high boost. I know the VAFC can work in Accords but I just went ahead with the SAFC II. No complaints here

Plugs and wires - you really don't need to replace unless its time for the yearly maintenance on your car.

Cam - depending what year you have, good luck finding one that isn't a regrind.

Cam gears - more than likely you have a SOHC Vtec (Non-Vtec) motor, 1 cam = 1 cam gear

Highflow cat - pretty useless unless your turbo'd

Yes, it will work. But you'll have to get the ecu wiring diagram for your ecu and wire it up, as the instructions from apex i are wrong for accords

what he said and you also have to remember it will make your vtec engagement a fixed rpm now... as the f23's usually varies a bit depending on load and whatnot sensor information.

setting the vtec engagement on your vafc as low as possible you still cannot get it as low as the oem engagement routine would have turned it on.

I use one on my f22b1 though and I use the vafcs set vtec engagement point cause it is easier for me to tune the a/f... the vtec moving around can be a pita. still want to go uberdata, then I wont need the afc other than to use it for trimming fuel at first on my base boost maps if ness.
