so i just got a apex vafc1 and the shop whos going to hook it up wants some kind of idea of where to start with the settings.... i have cai, headers and full exhaust with 2.5 in pipe. also the lowest safe vtec engagement would b e nice!! anyone with simliliar mods and what yours is set at??

 

If the shop needs an idea on where to set it. THen that's not the shop you want, if they don't even know where to start. They should at least refer you to a dyno shop that will dyno/tune it for you.

 

seems like your shop dont know jack
i would take my car to someone who knows their japs or you might end up with one huge headache

 

it is an import tuner shop with a dyno. he said that the tuning part wont be a problem at all, but just needs some kind of starting point..

 

If they're a tuning shop with a dyno, then they should know that they need to do a base run. Then look at the graph and see what needs to be adjusted. If they're asking you on where to start, you should just take it to a another shop in your area.

 

x infinite.

 

if im not mistaked ghostmaster has the controller

 

its so true. they need to do a base run to see WHERE it should be adjusted first.

 

 

yeah I have a vafc2 that I installed, but not tuned yet untill I get my cams on (hopefully next week) and then I will be dyno tuning myself.

 

after you get your cams in, after a few thousand miles you'll need to adjust them. Or else its loud.

 

I was planning on adjusting them immediately after replacement as stated in the helms manual.

 

Well, i did adjust mine but it still needed adjustment afterward. Just a heads up that u might need to do it again.

 

ok thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably adjust them immediately after install, wait 1000 miles or so then adjust them again, then wait another 1000 then do the dyno tune.

damn that's almost a month and a half after installing them to tune... I usually only drive about 300 miles per week, but ah well.

 

i have mine engaged at 3900 and disengage at 4200

pm me if you have any questions

I have the Version 1 too

 

which does absolutley nothing if you are not tuned. If anything you are losing power.

and you can't set the high>low at a higer rpm than the low>high.

 

it get tuned. When I got mine dyno/tuned I felt a big difference in response and power.

 

you havnt had it on a dyno yet have you??
