I just want to know if the VAFC has to be specifically for a motor or are they all the same thing. My buddy is selling one off of his civic si for cheap and I just wanna know if it will work on my 2.3.
thanks

 

dont know.

try the web site

 

someone here with VAFC has to know what application it is.

 

They are all the same and work on any Honda vtec. They perform best on DOHC vtec's. According to the www.apexi-usa.com they is warning specifically saying that the vafc will NOT work on 4 cylinder Honda accords. You can try to use it seems some people are able to while other are not able to make it work correctly.

 

thanks alot dc, thats all i needed. sucks they don't perform on our cars tho. anyone getting results out of their VAFC?

 

Yes.

The people that I've seen have problems when they wire them incorrectly. They try to use ECU pinouts that Apexi provides which are wrong.

Many people here and in the Accord world have used these and have no issues.

And yes they are all the same.

 

ok, thanks. niedejb, did you get your vafc before or after the turbo. If before, Could you notice a difference?

 

do you think its a mod worth getting, does it make a substantial difference in performance?

 

Technically I installed it before the turbo but kept it at 0% until I had the turbo and went to the dyno.

I helped my brother tune his NA lude with one. While he gained 0 peak HP or Ftlbs, he was able to gain >20hp in some areas of the rev range. Car drove totally different and was well worth the money. Just dont plan on it adding to your peak numbers.

I would also do this after your planned bolt ons for two reasons.

1) Everything you add will require retuning the VAFC

2) The VAFC is going to do more for you if you have more bolt ons.

 

wow 20 HP. I know it's not peak gains but that's real good nonetheless. I wonder how beneficial it would be to the 3.0's.

 

yes i was thinking of getting 1 too
