why would you need a laptop to tune a vafc??? you tune them by them selfs.. and you should really do it on a dyno... dont trust your butt dyno too far!

Not unless you run a Hondata system with the datalogger... Just put ur car on the dyno with the VAFC or SAFC... Chances are if you are tuning with a VAFC there isn't a lot that has to be tuned... I could be wrong but in most cases if you have some major tuning you would just go with Hondata or a standalone system... You should even be able to tune the VAFC by feel... Good Luck...

http://www.obd-2.com/ this is all you need costs about 100 bucks. i dont think anyone understood what you wanted to tell them except maybe the hondalogger idea. but the dsm guys have a datalogger called i think pocket logger that plugs into a palm or similar palm os device . you obviously want to use such a device to see where your sensor parameters are running, right? well this device works well and is upgradeable to include other vehicles and does more than just honda already. check it out. i found out about it in a review in hci magazine and have also posted about it on this site. try a search for my username or obd scan tool .. hope this helps.
