vafc questions
Hey guys, I have a few questions about vafc's. Most say to look for one on ebay, but it seems that most have honda/acura in the description. Are the apexi vafc car specific? If not, are they plug and play or are they hardwired?
Thinking of going with cattman or hotshot headers for my 03 and a few members have mentioned I will have to retune. But overall this is an expensive upgrade when you include labour on the header install and possibly the vafc. Then add $80 hour to tune. What's the average tune time? Also I was talking to a buddy of mine at work (ricer) and he thinks that the vafc will force the car to run too lean. Is there any control over that? What I mean is, let's say I could gain up to 50 HP (not going to happen I know) with a completely tuned header set up but will be running on the lean side. Could I opt for 30 horse at a less aggressive fuel/air ratio?
