Following up on this post right here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=270089 Today was the day we installed the VAFC and I can now go to bed tonight knowing that my car now idles like stock w/ the Spec B's installed. Installation of the VAFC was a breeze after we found the pinouts for the 00 ITR off of Apex'i's website. We adjusted the 1000 RPM fueling to -25 and everything is running fantastic. I'll post up some new pics of my R and of the VAFC installed sometime tomorrow. I just wanted to say thanks to this site and all its members for all the help you have given me and others just like me in various installs, product/company reviews, and deals on all kinds of aftermarket products. I don't know where I'd be right now w/o h-t in my life.....I this place. :tear:

How is the car running w/ the minor vafc tuning. Do you feel any more seat-of-the-pants power/torque, or is it too early to tell?

 

Honestly, we didn't even mess w/ anything else besides the idle issue. Everything else is set at default parameters. That's not going to be touched until I get my *** (well, the R, actually ) to a dyno.....which may be as early as tomorrow. w00t w00t!

 

Damn. I have Idle problems also. Meeting up with a friend tomorrow who'll try leaning out on the bottom like you guys did to see if that'll smoothen out my Idle.

 

having second thoughts about the B's with out a vafc now...........not sure though

 

vafc and cam gears ==== good to moderate tuning..


next step would be hondata/aem/custom....

good stuff


good 2 c people still rockin da toda b's

 

Don't be doubtful with anything at all. For my car being totally untuned at the moment, it sure is a blast to drive! If your only worry is the idle problem, don't let that stop you. I was a little worried at first about it. But after hearing from everyone on this board about what you have to do to correct it, I was confident that everything would work out, and it did.

Doh, I just saw that you said with OUT the VAFC....then it that case, yes, don't install the cams untill you have some kind of fuel control device. As I learned in my previous post, Spec B's do not operate well under a factory ECU. Hope this helps ya out.

This is strange, when i put my vafc to +24 that's when my idle for spec c feels like stock. if I put it in the minus, like minus -10 thats when it idles lumpy. What do you guys think the problem maybe?
