01+ Civic VAFC Update

We are currently in the midst of diagnosing the problems associated with the 01+ Civics using the VAFC. Until further research is able to pinpoint the true cause of these problems we do not suggest installing the VAFC on any 01+ Civic. Further documentation addressing potential problems and their solutions will be available shortly. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has created. Thank you for your support and patience.

thought some of you might find this interesting. once again, sorry if repost.

That information is obsolete!!! We have the fix for the VAFC. Go look in the Tech section. There are 2 ways to fix the VAFC problem stickied at the top of the forum.

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough
i think that would be a good idea, send the fix to APEXi and allow them to try it and see if they come up with anything

Somone came on here with a supposed dyno chart with VAFC and claimed to have it working. Maybe it did, but when they lowered the engagement point, all they had was a severe spike in the chart with nothing gained at all. Dunno what the advantage is other than maybe raising the engagement point if you are running nitrous or turbo.

From what I know, the person that dynoed his car did not have it tuned yet. After he tuned it, he said he got 7whp with just a cold air intake. You have to get the whole thing tuned to get real gains.

As soon as they get it fixed from the factory, I'm throwin down the money for one. I'm not interested in fixing it myself and potentially screwing it up.
