Vafc II is Installed!!!

Well it took us about 2 hours to install. We soldered all the wires to make sure that we had great connections. I hope you like the spot that we mounted the unit in.

There is only one problem with my VAFC II.

The ever so horrific CEL is ON!!!!!

I dunno what is wrong. When I start up the car the CEL light is on, but I can fly down the road hitting VTEC, redline every gear, etc.

BUT, as soon as I come to my first complete stop, my car won't rev over 4,000 RPM. Anyone know what's wrong?

That's a really nice spot for it. Someone here has the vafcII and he says the cel light doesn't come on. Don't know who, though.

That person would be cwick187, I think. Fly, yup I got the cel too after installing mine a couple days ago. With my optimum settings they work only above 70 degrees for sure, but at night cel all the way. I am able to tweak just about every V-AFC II setting with no issues regardless of how cold the weather is, but once I change the VTEC engagement points from stock, bam, cel light comes on for sure. So to me it looks to be an issue with VTEC settings by the VAFC. Damn the kick you get from adjusted VTEC points is sweet, but cel sucks. I shouldn't have bought it so quickly, oh well.

I wish cwick187, would post his settings. I wanna see why he doesn't get a cel and he said he's driving in 30 degree weather.

Nice spot bro, Note: Heat works better if you let it flow from the bottom (cold air pushes hot air up) IMO... Anyway looks really great! I'm gettin mine next month!!!
