Why would you even post if you don't have any kind of information about his question??? Oh wait, you must be a post *****

Anyway, you can use afac or vafc regardless if your FI or NA....If you have alot of mods you should get some pretty good gains with proper tuning. 5-10whp at least..

yeah, it can be used on any car i believe. It may not totally be needed if the car is stock, but it should be able to adjust air/fuel ratios on almost any car with safc

It's not just made for turbo cars...It can be used to to adjust the air/fuel mixture when you have modded up a car....The VAFC just adds the capibility to change the vtec engagment point, but has all the same functions as a regular SAFC....

you can't use vafc on cars that don't have vtec. SAFC should be used on all other cars but hondas, but it also works on hondas, but does not give you the ability to adjust the vtec point.

sorry that might have come out wrong. I was trying to say that you can't use VAFC on other cars because they are made to adjust vtec points and thus you must use safc. SAFC works great on most if not all cars to adjust air/fuel ratios, but if you want to move vtec then you need vafc, but safc can be used on a honda/acura

cheapest I have found it new is on ebay for $250, I would guess people would sell theirs for like $200 to $235 depending on how much they bought theirs for.
