I'm looking for some info. I'm researching the Apex VAFC (old and new).

First, I wanted to make sure that this will work on my car.

1990 Civc
B16
Pr3

Second, How easy is it to hook up?

Third, What do you guys think of the 2 products? I have not bought one yet so please be honest.

Thanks,

Rob

 

ttt

 

New VAFC allows finer tuning adjustments.. VAFC1 works well for me.

 

both will work on your car.

they both are pretty easy to install. i suggest soldering it in.

they are great products, but kinda too flashy . thieves love this stuff and not too mention cops.

so hide that thing

 

Thanks for the info.

I have a spot picked out........low on the center console. I'll post a pic when it's installed.


Thanks again for all the help.

 

good luck.

have fun

 

put it where i put mine in the glove box

 

That is where I mounted my VAFC. Made some brackets and I mounted it to my cluster.

I'll take some pics of the brackets if you need.

 

Stealing thread... do they come with a kit or at least directions to put it on? Anyone installed on B16 swapped obd0? Any tricks?

 

Jurassic Four May I ask what is your question???

The motor swap or the AFC

I have the B16a in my CRX, Check my homepage.

Don't have updated pics but you can use as ref.

i installed mine on a PW0 ecu wiring harness...if it comes with instructions and a wiring diagram (like mine did) you should have no problems. It took me 2 hours with a dinner break lol.

 

I mean the Vafc... is there any special tools/parts you need?

 

It comes (new) with everything you need.

I'm putting mine where the climent controls use to be.

thats where mine is (pic before any stereo)

simple to install if you have ANY experience with wiring AT ALL... they give you diagrams just make sure your using the right one and a second grader could do it.

nice

 

So where is your climate control at???

Got to at least have the fan sometimes....right??

 

Mine is not daily driven.......

You can hook the fan up to a switch and it works just the same. That is what I have done..........well 2 switches.......one for the fan and the other for the heating element. Works great for what I use it for.

well unless your getting it tuned while changing the vtec crosover point, there is no point in changing it.... it will most likely bog down or loose power without being tuned. mine is still at the stock crossover of 4800 i used it for a a/f tuner not to change the engagement of vtec.

i do sugest that anyone who gets this doesnt have a stock motor, it wont do much for you if you do. i have a semi built head and i wanted a little extra tunability without going engine management.

and to answer the ? about the ac controlls. i ripped it out. along with every other peice of my ac/heat system. not a big deal to me. dont drive the car all the time. just a have fun car.

 

How does it measure air fuel??? I have my 02 sensors unplugged. Will that affect how the Vafc works?

 

Bump, for more info?

 

Ok cool, Im putting one in my 90 Si HB so which diagram should I use, they only have it for 92-up Is the 90 ecu wiring harness the same just minus the vtec and vtm???

It doesn't measure Air/Fuel, nor does it require o2 sensors.

I'm all about that mount, but put into the center of the bottom recessed into the plastic hood a lil bit.
