that's wrong. you can control your vtec and run rich air fuel mixture.

is it hard to learn to use it?

i think the instructions are in japanese. i can't remember if it's in english. but, it's easy to use.

"The V-AFC features a user-definable, eight-point, adjustable fuel curve that can be set in 500 RPM increments. The range of fuel adjustment is 50% at each of the user-defined setting points. The Fuel Adjustment function considers wide/narrow throttle and low/high camshaft settings, from which four different fuel maps are created (wide-low, wide-high, narrow-low, narrow-high). The integrated VTEC Controller adjusts the point at which the engine switches from the Lo to Hi cam during acceleration, as well as when the engine switches from the Hi to Lo cam during deceleration."

That's funny the way you copied that on there. Are you a spokesperson for Apexi?

SiRII · #6 05-12-2003, 06:02 PM

Yeah but most people post a Apexi link instead of trying to sound like the mad scientist on the Fast and the Furious.:hehehe:

What?

Best thing to do is get it installed by someone who knows what they are doing. The mechanic that told you they are for show knows sweet f@#k all. They arent too hard to use but when you get it installed I am sure the mechanic will explain everything to you.

i heard they only useful if your engine's well-built.

any feedback who has one whould be great guys. how does it increase hp? and what is it really used for..is it like used for cars that has turbo?

BOOSTD · #13 05-15-2003, 12:23 PM

It doesnt increase horsepower. It basically allows you to tune your engine (control airflow, fuel etc) at the push of a few buttons. If correctly setup your car will run more efficiently and will be more responsive etc. The true potential will arise if your car is modified.

i believe that it does give you more hp. http://www.members.aol.com/ryoucold/...pexi/apexi.htm

it probably will if you have mods but that's the same as with any tuning. you will gain hp cuz tuning will extract the most hp out of a mod it can
