i had the same question so i went and searched google. There is heaps on there regarding this mate :)

[dougie_504]

Aren't they both a waste of time anyway? Just get an ECU :)

[jks24]

well i bought the vafc2 and i only plan on doing bolt on mods which should be ideal with the vafc2 :) If my plans change i can always get a new ecu in the future

[dougie_504]

Is it really that good? I thought it was just a piggy-back ECU that allowed you to change the VTEC changeover point?

yeh thats basically it and some air flow stuff, its fairly basic but good enough for me atm

[dougie_504]

Reckon you'll get much extra by using it in conjunction with I/H/E, than you would in comparison to I/H/E without the VAFC II?

[GSi_PSi]

lol dont waste ur time with it. just bling bling

[dougie_504]

Well they're $400 +/- aren't they? For only a little more you could get a decent ECU I think

i will have to wait and see i spose, i have time to experiment with different things atm :) I think i picked up mine for 300

I reckon they're kinda cool <lol>

Have you had it dyno'd with I/H/E before VAFC2? Send me a PM and let me know how it goes please?

na mate havent had the car on the dyno yet, ive only had my EM1 like 3 months. More keen to get it on track then the dyno at this stage. Ill let you know anyways when I finally get it tuned in :thumbsup:

[ninzee]

i got a vafc for my bday
got 6kw atw from it which wasnt too bad but didnt really change the crossover only air/fuel

[dougie_504]

I'd take 6kw any day lol. That was after it was tuned with the VAFC2 yeah? Affect your consumption at all?

[ninzee]

na vafc 1 lol
yea i got better fuel consumption im getting around 350-400 in a b16a with a fair amount of vtec :) i got graphs if u wanna c jst gotta go find them lol

[RtN]

I think more points in adjustments or something also in vafc2.

[dougie_504]

Yeah show me. I've got an EF8 with the standard B16A. CAI, RS*R 2.25" 4-2-1 headers and a 5Zigen 2" cat-back and really wanna get the best out of the mods without doing internal work (big $$$$$).

[ninzee]

kk ill post as soon as i find im not 2 sure wheere i put them my m8s got a dyno so theres about 4 sheets or so of graphs

[GSi_PSi]

you can chip an ecu and run crome for less than 300 bux

I'm noob.

Care to elaborate for me please?

[GSi_PSi]

well you can buy a chipped ecu from ebay ie

and use a moates and crome software to tune it up like a hondata

OR if your too nooob to use crome and moates just buy one of these ecus and tell them what your setup is , ive used them and they are pretty good at tuning

[GSi_PSi]

or if your handy you can chip your current ecu if its obd1 and use moates it will be even cheaper...

Aren't VAFC's only fuel map and vtec crossover adjustments? If you're going to use a piggyback, at least get an eManage for a few hundred so you can do ignition timing adjustments too. Otherwise go neptune, chrome or hondata

[YBJLS4]

lets say i got a free vafc. any point tuning with i/h/e? its not plugged yet but will it make a diff?

[dougie_504]

Apparently yes according to the above testaments
