Apexi V-AFC

[ef-civic]

hey, just wondering if the apexi V-AFC is any good ??? i got told that they are pretty good.. whats the advantages and dis-advantages of this ??

[TheSaint]

advantage is its a nice cheap way to tune I/H/E and it serves as a rev/speed monitor (among other things)

disadvantage is that its only a piggy back... its not quite a aftermarket ecu or power-fc, hence limited tuning abilities

its good enough if u just want to smooth out ur i/h/e setup and squeeze out some extra kw - good for street driving etc

bad if u want to drag or goto the track... serious driving etc

the apexi neo is also worth a look if u got some $$

good discussion here with dyno results.

Hey matt check out the newer Safc, i think the VAFC is now a discontinued line.

Or if you really wanna fork out the money Microtec or hondata =]

SAFC does not support VTEC point changing. It's fine if you have a non-vtec engine. But go for a VAFCii if you have a vtec.

Advantage = cheap and easy
Disadvantage = can only alter fuel map. Cannot alter ignition map.

advantage = cheap and easy, gets same power as standalones for i/h/e basic modded cars

disadvatange = gotta sit this blue/black screen somewhere in the car

[nvdvtc]

the advantages are cheap to put ur vtec up or down..
the disadvantages are in future if u are gonna do work to ur car u dont need it anymore its just a waste of money..

In the glovebox?

[Limbo]

get the full PFC its alot better

[TheSaint]

power FC for the win

i wouldnt advice changing ur vtec rpm kik in lvls etc

leave all the tuning to ur local tuner man

good thing about this is cheap i/h/e tune and it has a digital read out of rev/speed

if this showed oil temp and pressure it would be great, that is the main thing u need to know in vtec honda so u know wen the oil is ready to make vtec work, if the pressure is low and ur oil is cold than vtec wont crossover and thats not fun for u or ur car =/

I think it's superseded by the AFC-Neo. I think it has a built-in VTEC controller too.

VAFC was superceded by VAFC-ii.

AFC-NEO = VAFC-ii with a GUI but no crank angle sensor input. Hence, no VTEC point control with K series engines.

Ahh, so there is a difference between the Neo n the vafc2. I tried checking the apexi website but i could not find a difference. By the way, wats a GUI?

GUI = graphical user interface. Neo looks much nicer:
