Im getting a V-AFC soon and know someone on this forum has it stashed inside his sunglass holder up top....I was wondering if the sunglass holder shut after you put it in there? Any pics would be nice too

 

It does and if you do it right and fiberglass it in it looks pretty schweet. I was gonna considering this about a year ago.

 

It's Webtoker who had it. Here's a pic

 

heres pics of mine

nice.......do you know how difficult it was to install?

 

Yeah i did it too... colors look off becuase the flash in the car but its actually about a 90% match...

 

Guy i have a question about the initial settings of the VAFC. It has to do with the number of cylinders and all that other stuff. Does any one know what to set everything at when i firt install it. I will be taking it to the dyno to get it tuned.

 

Titan,

You want initially all values to be set at 0 for fuel/air adjustments.
The cylinder # setting should be 6 with an up arrow.
The redline should be at 7100rpm.
The vtec should be at 4800rpm.

If you search I think I posted my settings when i had tuned it for just intake and headers.

 

I had it too..but the V-AFC is a waste of money without forced induction...

 

what ??? why would you say somthing stupid like that??

 

i tend to agree w/ astro.


fastvtec, do you think i would see gains w/ V-AFC ?

 

nothing big right away, but the more mods you get the more it helps you tune your car..

i got 7hp form the V-AFC with just I/H/E/P

 

Yup... you need to have headers/intake/exhuast/plugs/pulleys to see at least 5hp and 4-5lbs

 

i have i/h/e/p, if the V-AFC would shave a tenth or two i might be into it.

it just makes it so vtec engages sooner? does it do anything else?

 

TMM, would i see gains from iridium plugs?

 

Mattg,

Youll realistically see 2-3hp from iridiums but when you take everything as an aggregate in mods you can tune your car for a leaner mixture down low and a slightly richer mixture up high...

 

no, i don't have time to explain it to you all the settings and what they do..

go to www.apexi-usa.com for more info

 

Geeze... grouch arent we today....


Mattg:

What you can do with the VAFC .... Modify VTEC engagement rpm point (when vtec kicks in), VTEC disengagement rpm point (when vtec drops back out), fuel mixture ratio (its not a perfect method but it is relatively effective one to a point)


There are no universal setting that work ... everythi9ng has an effect on how your car responds to the air/fuel and vtec settings from the way the cars broken in, mileage, trans slippage %, tires etc... the only effective way to tune it is have all your mods installed and then have it tuned on a dyno with a tap for exhaust and obdii monitoring

 

I have Comptech Headers and Exhaust as well as the AEM Cai and Denso Iridium plugs...I have the V-AFC installed on my TL-S right now..I had it installed on my CL-S also...
after tuning it on the dyno, I scored a massive 4hp and 3ft/lbs of torque by tuning it...not worth the money you pay for it IMO....unless of course you plan to go forced induction, or with major custom motor work...for just bolt ons, it's not necessary...

and this is coming from someone who can afford to spend money on somewhat frivilous mods...not even from someone working hard to decide which mod to get next...

 

Astroboy:

Ok but you have to admit at least 15hp in points and imrc opening... if you didnt see at least a leveling of the 3800rpm dip in your dyno it may not have been configured correctly.

 

but by and far this isnt the mod to get for HP its the mod to get for a cool vacuum flourescent display and electronic gauges and such

 

did u look at my most recent TL-S Dyno? it looks good to me.

 

it does look cool, i must admit.

 

Easy there sparky lol I havent seen it yet lol

 

whats your fastest timeslip, TMM?

 

Not going there ... it will resurrect another holy war ... ask about that in pm if anywhere .. thnx

 

i doubt anyone would care, if i remember correctly it's in the 13.80's.


your pm box is full too

 

any old schoolers want to fill me in on the controversy w/ ModMoles time slips?


sorry, it seems your thread has been hijacked zoot :o

 

mattg,

chk your pm

 

the only way it would start a war is if you can't prove your times.. if you can will give you props and say good run...

but people like to bullshit about there times

 

Zoot:

Sorry about the thread jacking.. I tried to help

 

well what about this time?????

i'm sure zoot wants to know too

 

actually, he got his orig. questions answered.

this thread is ours to do with as we please

 

Hey its cool....i did get my answers...actually, i was wondering how you got the thing to look flush in the holder, webtoker's looks like I thought it would, but yours looks flush....another is what are your 1/4mile times?

 

To get the flush mounted look I used a dremel and cut out the face of the sunglass holder so that it only had the sides left. The I used an epoxy clay to rough mold to the shape of the vafc frame. After about 8 hours the expoxy clay hardens and binds to the plastic of the sunglass holder and I used a steel file to do a rough shaping, this is when i made it follow the half round contour of the orriginal but left it beveled for the vafc. Then I sanded it down and finally steel wool rubbed it down. Last step was painting and then mounting the vafc inside.. it was a snug fit but i used 3M double sided body tape to fasten it in securely hjust in case.

My track times ranged from 13.39 to a 14.XX .. im not going to justify or explain a whole lot becuase unless somebody is there witnessing and videographing the entire process there will always be somebody that just doesnt beleive it... Iv raced a few folks from here and other boards who have 13.X second cars and had varying results of wins and losses... including a few posts of it from me and the other party. And the 13.39 was my car with radials and a pretty bare interior free of rear seats, bone empty trunk and running 1 gallon of tuolene on 94 octane. All mods installed

 

i believe that you maybe in the 13's but there is no way in hell you ran a 13.3 with those mods

i don't know about you but if i ran a 13.3 i would make sure someone was there to see it. LIKE I DID WITH MY 13.6

 

Yeah I know your right.. it was a blatent b.s. lie... moving on......
