power gains from VTEC controller
I've searched for it. but couldnt find the info i needed. right now i have aem short ram intake, universal muffler, megan racing down pipe. if i get a vtec controller and tune it, would it make any difference? and also how much does it cost to get it tuned?
Thanks.

I got 2whp after fuel tuning with pnp head and header. Paid $125 and took a couple hours on the dyno. Need to get everything done again tho after the cam gear is on.

i got a signifigant increase of power gain but that is only because i am running a d17a2 engine in my dx with the stock ecu. but don't expect much because honda makes it so that the computer does a pretty good job on its own with our cars. It is however nice to use if you are on a budget for nitrious or turbo tuning.
^^^oh...that sucks. do you have a pic of it? and also, would you rather go with projectors or go with this? cuz i will be buying a lot of bolt ons later next month if i really am sure i will be gettin the vtec controller

well i have mine hidden BEHIND the glove box thats how bad it looks
but i guess for tuning its nice to be able to have a straight line a/f ratio. But you gotta ask yourself if its really worth a few whp. Get an intake for alot cheaper and get the same power. I would go with projectors if I were you. Oh and with the vafcii, you NEED to dyno tune which is at least another $100. So you're looking at around $400 for whatever it gives you.

Here's a pic. If you actually open it up, the naked display is indiglo blue/green color. The filter they have over it makes it look more white tho, but not as white as 03+civic gauges.
