D16y8 with vafc

i had a vafc dyno tuned on my ej9 civic (d14 ek) with edelbrock intake manifold, dc sports 4-1 header 55mmexhaust and many others. After dyno tuned it pulled 6 whp which is great almost throughout the powerband. The a/f ratio needed tuning.

D16y8 is NOT vtec-e
its probably the best D-series vtec engine available and with a small amount of tuning it easily trumps a B16a2

Would it be worth puting a vafc in my ej8 with a d16y8 I've got full exhaust intake headers how much of a difference would it make and I just wanna get it so I can adjust the vtec cheers

yep this will work . few of my mates hae VAFC in their ejs . Then all ran stock ecu at first and yep like everyone else has been saying they either didn't make a power difference or lost power. They only wanted it to control the vtec... If you got the money i'd say upgrade your ecu , something easy would be hondata (seeing as it's plug and play) , hondata s200 is what i'm aiming for right now because you can hook a laptop up to it and run the program (mainly want it for look, but tuning wise too) . One of my mates ej's has hondata s300 and VAFC and it goes really well. At the end of the day all comes up to how much your willing to spend. For power gains they always require money.. but yes you can run VAFC in your ej8. hope this helps. goodluck
