2007 + VAFC 2

So, the mechanic I usually get performance stuff done with says that the VAFC2 won't work with my car. He says he's tried everything he can think of.. and I'm using one of the ECU Splitters things so I don't have to mess directly with my ECU wires.

Is there a trick we're missing? We have the right wiring diagrams, but he says because the VAFC2 is so old compared to me car, it won't fit.

Any suggestions?

You have to go SAFCII or TechnoSquare flash. VAFC will not work. Keep a watch on Ebay and Craigslist and of course our classifieds here.

Apollos beat me to it. The VAFC works in the 5.5gen, I have one on my car but I have read that it doesn't work on the 6th gens. Best of luck man.

why wouldn't they. They are the sh*t, just ask them. Sometimes they are too busy to keep their website up so if you ask them I am sure they will have it.

I talked to Apexi direct, plus did other research before I bought my SAFCII. I was told on numerous occasions the VAFC won't work. It's for VTECs. I have yet to see a 6thgen with a VAFC installed. If you can get it to work, more power to you, keep us updated.

NOT TRUE! I am getting my Cattman headers and will be using a VAFC2 to tune my car, you can get them to work by using an adaptor! PM user Vipervadim- he tuned a 6 gen recently with a VAFC2 and will be doing mine whenever Cattman can make my headers! GL.

Those are terms that shouldn't be used together.

Get UTEC and be done with it. PnP. An EMB/EMU would require more wiring.
