that harness goes between the ecu and the ecu plugs. it will only go one way. its a pretty simple install without the pnp harness. took me about 1-2 hours with smoke breaks. you set the vtec engage and disengage in the vafc2 once you install it and go through all the learn mode and stuff. if you dont have the operators manual for the vafc2, i highly suggest you go download and print it out.

on the vafc2 harness there is a vtec in signal and vtec out. vtec in comes from a vtec ecu if you have one. if not you dont need it. vtec out is from the vafc2 to the vtec solenoid. with the vafc2 you can use original ecu vtec settings, or set your own. you use manifold pressure, throttle position, and rpm to engage. there are 2 manuals you download from the apexi website. theyre pdf format. one was about 60 pages so i emailed it to kinkos and had them print it instead of me wasting a whole ink cartridge.
