so.. just did like.. an hour of searching. this is what i've come up with.....



completely pointless cuz our stock ecu over rides it... it'll be good after the dyno and tune for about a week or so and then back to stock.. then reset stock ecu..

then would be best once i get all NA bolt-ons i want and tune...

help me out if thats true(stock ecu overriding VAFC). found a great deal for a brand new VAFCII locally for dirt cheap.

would be cool to have it but if its gonna keep having my stock ecu overriding it, then... i'll probably just passssssss

to others who have it. feedback? opinions? facts? pros? cons? blah blah blah etc etc etc...

 

Yah....my Apexi Neo did absolutely nothing for me.I sold it last month. It looks cool though

 

I havent heard of that problem occurring on the E-Manage blue

 

^ thats why im really leaning towards that.. seems like lot of us (CL/TL) has success with it..

 

yea, i think neo had that some thing except neo wouldn't need a re-tune..

did you get a tune?

 

Get a full standalone and ditch our ECU like Powerrev is doing on the accord project

 

What about a Jet chip?

 

i have a vafc2 and my computer does not over ride it at all. it works great for me

 

have you dyno'd again and got same gains as when you did tuning?

 

Yes, I had it professionally tuned. Showed no gains, or difference in the way the car ran.

 

what did you have when you tuned?

 

No

 

what about a unichip?

 

^ no doubt about a unichip... its either that or the e-manage...

but unichip has to be tuned at a place that actually does unichip no??

 

but is any of this even worthwhile if you just have normal NA bolt-ons?

 

i have a long list of ahead..

 

How come?

 

^ seems like lot of the american cars run the jetchip...

 

it is really only useful if you have any major power adders. i only have it for my nitrous kit and i will need it in two weeks when the turbo goes on!!!!!!

 

It was done by a member or 2 in the past and they lost hp.

 

did a little research and i think this is the thread im looking for..you guys are talking about a vafc controller if im not mistaken. I was looking into getting this and i was wondering the +/- sides of getting this. Is it worth it, from the comments above it seems like its useless. Would i need a wideband if i get this? and what if we did bigger injectors? any body have good answers to this?

 

bump

 

why bump it??...

anyways.. its pretty usless watever you do....

bigger injector.. still be useless...

stupid ecu would just override all the settings and go back to watever it was before tune.. dam smartass ecu.. lol
good for like a week or so


just better off getting e-mange..

might pick one up from japan..

 

i used my afc neo for when i sprayed, just bumped up the fuel side and it was all good. dont know if it over rode it, but once im done spraying i set it back to the stock setting.

 

yay! bump my old thread...

anyways..

anyone kno about E-manage Ultimate???

 

i got the neo i use for spray ive never had such problem?im going to have my buddy tune the neo next monday and we will check the the tune a couple days after and let u guys know

 

^ well, i found e-manage for freakin cheap so i'm going that route.. just wondering about the e-manage ultimate

 

hook me up with the emag. u always get the good prices on everything some how

 

^ lol..

i buy like

of course the e-man is useddddd

 

as long as it works

 

^ in that case, i'll contact you sometime

but do you really want one?

 

need it for tuning my beast.

 

when and were did u get your neo that didnt do any thing?i heard about people making bogus apexi products i know two people who bought them and didnt work,we opened it up and it was just a loopanybody else her that think it was in import tuner about three years ago

 

I have a vafc2 and never have problem and the ecu doesn't overide it and it great to lower the vtec point

 

^ prove it...

lower your vtec point and take a video of it engaging at the set point.....

 

I can't... my car is in the garage for the winter but I will make you a vid of that like in one or two week.

 

^please. i would to see your car on *j32a3 cams*
