I believe that fly its treating us teasing and I am sure almost that it doesnt even work. That's why it doesnt mention us who are his setting for the VAFCII

Oh my god!!! Grow up!!! If you want the VAFC II settings, go and dyno tune...If not,, don't bother the people that have it tuned....I didn't tune my car to share the results with everyone...I'm sorry to sound like an ***, but it costed me over $200 to tune....Every car and part has specific results when tuned...Just have it tuned and quit crying

I believe that the only one that was crying here is only you because you pay $200 dollars for a dyno when I only pay $90 dollars in my country P.R.
stop crying man. I supposed that you don't have a B-2 or Concord.
who want's my settings?

Rep Power: 0 mine works like ****. I am going to have a guy i know who has installed many V-AFC controllers look at mine and if he doesn't get it then im going up to portland to pay someone to professionally do it. I'm sick of this bullshit 4,000 Rev limiter as soon as I hit VTEC a couple times.. the only way i have found to go get rid of it for a little is to shut off the car and restart it. I guess it is resetting the ECU. I would really appreciate if someone that fixed the very same problem i am having would PM and help me out.. Like maybe tell me where they connected everything and if they soldered it or not.

Rep Power: 0 I really don't know what to tell you guys that have the VAFC II and still having problems...I just followed the instructions and the H8 diagram and I have not had one problem yet...I'm not the only person here that has the new VAFC II installed correctlly so they will tell you the same thing...As for the VAFC I with the diode fix, it will work until it gets a certain temp outside...As soon as it started to get cold, my cel would come on and I wouldn't be able to shift past 4000rpm....If you search there is tons of info on the VAFC I

Rep Power: 0 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... i wanna shot myself ( import racer me too) maybe vtec has to be set really close to stock like 2000 - 3000 just a thought . but it sure feels strong when set at 5200 ...for the 10 seconds it works.

Rep Power: 0 lucky for you a performance shop is closer than 300 miles for you... I have to drive 300 miles to get mine fixed. I don't think i understand what you mean by 2000-3000? i would never set my VTEC that low.

Rep Power: 0 i dont know for a fact import racer, but when in the initial setup mode the stock vtec reference reads that it engages around 3200 rpms. anyone know what stock is ? maybe the few of us who are having the 4000 thing have to syncronize set vtec with stock... im in denial right now i just got back from the shop and no luck so i disconected battery and set it at 5200 no cel, i redlined every gear, stoped, went home turned off the car off, restarted and no cel, then i reved it to 7k and let it run for 5 min and no cel. so im happy now and i will be able to sleep, but im afraid to drive it. ( yeah i have a vafc too, it looks really nice in my car but i cant drive it)

Rep Power: 0 ok so i have some interesting news for everyone sharing my headache. on new years eve eve, yesterday i went around town looking for info. first i went to the library to look for a 2002 mitchells honda manuel or a chiltons or somthing, because(if this is old you can stop reading, but for peeps who dont have car parts laid out across the garage every weekend keep going) cont...apexi said that for all US spec hondas the vtm signal wire must be hooked up, or you will drive around for a bit and the cel will come on. describing exactly my problem. The H8 diagram only pin points the wires you need to know about to install the vafc so how am i supposed to know which wire the vtm signal one is? (because its not in the diagram, hehe) i went to honda and any one person on this site is smarter than that dealership. thanks to my loyal friend the search button i typed in ( vtm signal wire diagram ) and what do ya know! i pulled up a diy on the first model fix and found a diagram showing the vtm sig wire hooked it up and no problems going to the dyno next week. fly and cwick whatever you did, obviously its right, unless you have this hooked up already, but im pretty sure i read these forums 67 times or so. try this import racer i think thats your problem too from the way it sounds. mad props to who ever found out in the first place which wire that was.

Rep Power: 0 which leads me to my next question will simply doing this solve the 4000 cut off on the vafc 1? or do you need diodes on the input output for vtec? slowciv has model 1 and there is no sense in wasting time to sell it and more money if it works?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, sorry about that...I remeber that I had to hook up the VTM wire, but I had the old VAFC ECU diagram so I didn't run into that problem at all. I'm glad you got it work!!!

Rep Power: 389 I don't think I used my VTM wire? Where is it located. I'll have to check. I can't remember anymore.
