can someone help me find instructions on how to install a vafc on a pm6 ecu? i just did the mini-me(y8 head on a y7 block) swap and would like to install the vafc as well. I have been searching for a while now but can't find any info on this. thanks

isn't the pm6 non-vtec?

Best thing I can come up with is the v-afc general wiring diagram and the 88-91 ecu pinout.

Of course you won't be connecting for the vtec or pressure signal. Just hope this helps.

wait a sec. i havent searched into this so i could be wrong. can you use a VAFC on a non VAFC motor? thats why they have the SAFC (for NON vtec motors)and couldnt you go to the manu's web site for instructions? most manufactures supply the installation instructions/ via WWW.

i don't think you can controll vtec with a safc? i might be wrong on this though?

oh hey, i think i mis understood when i posted that last night; how about this:
the y8 head is a vtec setup and the pm6 ecu is a nonvtec ecu. do you think he can control the vtec with a VAFC or shouldnt he have a vtec ecu?
If the motor can run vtec, why not have it. I think its just not right to have a vtec head and NOT use the vtec.

the VAFC can activate Vtec without having a Vtec ECU.
i had my car runnin on a PR4 for a little while and I still hit vtec... had a 7200rmp redline though.

even if you dont have VTEC, you can still use the rpm switched VTEC output wire to run a shift light or something similar. hell, if you had nitrous, you could use the VAFC to trigger the solenoids to spray at a certain rpm.
Its a useful tool.
