an interesting mounting location for a'pexi safc/rsm people....thoughts? (w/ pix)

i thought this is great information to contribute to the org. no this is not on his maxima, it's on his 1999 integra GSR. detail information and installation and instruction is over here >> http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=552288

so what do you guys think?

the unit you see in the above pictures is A'PEXi V-AFC. It serves the following function:

1. monitor air/fuel ratio
2. monitor throttle position
3. ability to change air/fuel ratio
4. VTEC engagement point

on our maxima, we don't use V-AFC. we use S-AFC, which is basically the same thing without function 4 on the above list. (doh! we don't have vee-tek)

didn't know that. cuz 4th gen doesn't have sun glasses holder on the rear vew mirror. but still, part of the sunglasses holder will block the vision of the apexi screen.

if you open the sunglass holder cover, it reveals the s-afc, then you can close it afterwards. make it nice and discreet.

just to let yall know YOU CAN use the VAFC on a Maxima...just like you can use the VAFC on a non-vtec Honda. you just don't mess with the vtec engagement adajustments. just letting yall know this in case you see one for a good price, don't pass it up it will still work as far as air/fuel adjustment.

I think you can also use a VAFC to control the engagement of a MEVI instead of a summit or harlan switch.

I actually removed the sunglass holder and made a bracket and put the SAFC up there. Its angled for perfect view from the driver's seat. Had it in the sunglass holder, except it covers half the screen when its actually in the holder. Plus it blocked my view of the rearview mirror.
