i have a 1995 prelude vtec and i just got a vafc 2

i removed teh ecu (footrest) panel and now i have no idea what to do



my question is ... How doi know which wire goes wehre, and what the color code's are for my ecu... I Have a chart (see below)




Ami going to use All three of the ECU wires,, ( and cut a few from each) OR one specific bundle of wires


HELP

 

you will be using a few wires from each connector.

You are missing a very important set of instructions. There should also be a diagram with the ecu pinouts that correspond to the wires you need to splice into. The vafc 1's diagrams can be found on http://www.apexi.com but the vafc2's diagrams are not on the website.

I'm sure they are the same between the two versions, but i believe the vafc 2 has a few more wires that need to be spliced in. ( due to the added functions ) I'm not 100% sure about that though.

 

i thought i was just tapping into the wires???

anyways.. does apexi.com hae the color codes?

i serisouly Dont knwo wher to gof rom wehre i am

im an idiot


sorry

 

ok found it...

so the wires on here, are where i tap into, but on the b ack side ( the wire part)..... and thats IT??

 

that diagram is messed up definently

is that diagram... suposed to be As if it were Plugged in ( so like reversed)

or is that supposed to be as if u were looking at it..........


anyoen know what c olor Honda's GROUND AND POWER lines are supposed to be..... could it be Yellow and BRown?... or Red w/ black stripe for power


im all confused

 

the three plugs are different sizes so it should be self explanatory which one to use.

I.E. vtec signal, IG power, etc. on this plug, VTM, etc. on tis plug.

As far as the location on the connector, the diagram is of the plug facing the ecu. You have to match the corresponding wire on the back side to the pinout.

 

alright now, the guy who i bought the vafc 2 from .. didn't have a few wires connected...

The dark blue, the light blue and the orange.....

VTC cam signal
VTM signal and the TDC signal

Do i need these?

 

anyone know


anyways: curently im jjst splicing the wires, and i will soon begin to sotter (SP) them.....

would it be ok to just sotter the power and the ground for the time being.. just so it lights up ( im excited to see it)?????

 

hook it up correctly and then you can play. Seriously i wouldn't **** with it until it is completely installed. I believe the instructions also say something to that effect.

BTW, yes you should hook up all the wires. I don't know how the other guy used it without VTC signal hooked up but you should definetly install all the wires.

 

ok thanks, so for all the wires except the VTM (which i just cut away from the ecu, and just plug into the vafc)
do i just tap into the existing wires?

 

ok, got it installed and it looks nice illl get pics soon


anywyas. the tihing has a passwordon it from the previous user.. how doi get it off?/ i tried takin off the battery terminals but nothin works

 

Try going to #3 etc then going to #10 intialize to clear all memory...

btw... I didn't hook up "VTC" or the "TDC" wire...... you don't need them unless you have I-Vtec

 

Can someone repost the diagram, its not showing up.
