is it safe to just connect the orange wire at the same spot as the red one? or space them apart a few centimeters?

Do I have to wire up the MAF and knock sensor wires too?

and which color wire is the pressure sensor? which cube number is it?

Can anyone tell me, what options/ settings I want to put into the VAFC2?

also, where is there a hole in the firewall so I can pass a wire for the VIAS from the VTEC SOLENOID OUTPUT 12+

ok, so from searching and reading for a few hours, I found that some ppl just use 01 01 for the Sensor No.(w/e the hell that is....). I connected the MAF wires, but not the knock sensor. I have a light blue, blue, purple(not used), red with black stripe, and pink wire NOT hooked up. Which color wire is the VTEC SOLENOID OUTPUT 12+( the light blue or blue?) and I still need a way to route the wire from the cabin to the engine bay.

There should be an unused grommet on the firewall behind the TB area, sort of down and to the right a bit from the cruise control. Perfect for running wiring.

I'll tell you what I did with my MSD unit. I needed a 12v for power to the switch itself, and needed 12v to to the VIAS. I tapped the cig lighter for the switch itself, then tapped the switch's 12v wire right after where it taps the cig. lighter for the other 12v.

According to that post, that is how I set up my VAFC2. Do I also have to tinker with 1."Wide Thrtl" or 2."Narr. Thrtl" in the Setting Menu? or 4. "V/T Unmt" ? or 6."TH-Point"?

quick question: when wiring up the 5th gen injectors, each injector had a colored wire with a line going through it and the other wire was just one solid color, I wired it up so that, the wire with the line would always go with the harness to injector....Suppose I didnt wire all of them correctly, would codes pop up or what? also, the car's idle jumps up and down like 200rpm when in drive and shakes the car.( same thing happened to me when I was a stock 4th gen, and it turned out that one of the injectors was clogged)

Take a look at the 00VI section on my site. Read through the entire thing, even stuff you don't think you'll need to know. It may be helpful. It's not finished yet, and obviously doesn't include everything, but it's a good start.

^^ There is no trick.. 2 wires for each injector. How hard can that be?


Make sure you soldier and wrap them with heat shrink tubing...

is there a wrong way to wire them up? I got the 2 wires per injector part, but my horrible idle is making me think theres something wrong besides adjusting the TPS and IACV. Like I mixed up the wiring... i dunno. Does it matter if you wire up the injectors, wire A to A and wire B to B, can it also be wire A to B, and wire B to A?

I believe each plug will have a thicker (red) wire and a color specific wire.. They have to be wired AA BB.

what do you guys do with the coolant lines, that are right by the EGR,( they would plug into the rear of the USIM ), I just connected them together, so the fluids would continue circulating? Did I do that correctly? or is there some other way of doing something with those lines?

SOB, I cant get it to idle correctly, I got that screw for the IACV from a junkyard. But as much as I try, the rpms still dip up and down about 100rpms. and the car shakes when it does that.

I have a remote setup of the IACV with adapter plate. I have the IACV running on a 3/8" 1 foot tube to the manifold. Would the size of the tube(3/8") be not big enough. Cuz when I adjust the IACV black adjusting screw nothing happens.....

Its not big enough. You need a larger diameter nipple.

ok, enlarging the nipple on the IACV adapter plate is the easy part. how do I make a bigger one on the manifold? perhaps 1/2". Would 1/2" tubing be sufficient enough?

I would say so. That's the setup I'm going with (1/2" all the way from the plate to the manifold).

Drilling a hole and putting it in

You'll need one with a small, small base to get it to work though. I ended up having my buddy's dad bring me one from where he works, I think it was 1/2" by 1/4" (1/2" nipple by 1/4" pipe thread). It had a small base, but still had the same diameter the whole way through. You HAVE to have something with a smaller base than 1/2" pipe thread or you will have no chance of making it work.

I'm putting the nipple on the side port of the thicker piece where the TB bolts on, where there's a smaller nipple stock.

Well, the car runs like a beast from what I can tell. The idle works fine, its just that the rpms dip still. I believe the IACV is working just fine also.(about 1300rpm on cold start up, then ~700ish when warm) Just like with my old stock 4th gen setup. Which leads me to thinking that the injectors are clogged up. So I wanna buy another set, and send that set in to get cleaned and not have any downtime, cuz the car runs damn near fine just that RPM dipping.

On a side note: how can I somewhat tune the car with the VAFC2? Anybody willing to help me out with that?
