I'm planning on getting one for kicks. How do you install one? Plus, there are any or a lot of disadvantages to installing a VTEC controller?

 

Honestly it seems like a lot of work for nothing. The only time you realize any benefits at all from a VTEC controller is if you have all of the mods... Intake, Exhaust, Headers, Pulleys, Spark Plugs, etc. The main mods are the intake, headers and pulleys.

From what I've read....installing it isn't really that hard, it's tuning it properly. Even those who have it tuned properly are only seeing ~5hp maximum gains from it. All that time to install and tune it and only ~5hp.... not worth it in my book.....

 

but it looks hot as hell...

if you're gonna do it, definitely have it installed in the sunglass holder:wow:

if you do want it just for the power increase, don't bother...its mostly a cosmetic mod, just another toy...

 

Have a profesional do the work...I wouldn't try to do this your self. Bad idea!

 

Look up Jaker on the A-CL.com board. Frog Engine Controls has a wiring harness. This makes the V-AFC a "plug-n-play. It is about $170 but well worth it. You could likely install it but it is critical to have it dyno tuned. Best leave it to a pro.

 

But a [I]huge[\I] amount of work! Go for the glovebox.

 

yea it looks koo!! i got the apexi vafc .......installed it at a performance place........u have to get the wiring diagram from the dealer for the ecu and get it tuned well

 

I'm gonna get it also. Good idea agean. I will put it where the sunglass holder is.

 

its not supposed to give you a lot more horses..
the v-tec controller is used to set your v-tec to kick in faster and takes about a second off your time..

 

umm....no it doesnt take a second off your time cause u set the vtec faster....u have to dyno your car and set the vtec correctly or ull f*ck up your motor...the main point is to adjust your air/fuel ratio
