should i?

[pooface]

is it a waste on get VAFC?i have some mods but something for now and i dont have the money to get a powerFC?

[m0nty]

Just save up more for the Power FC. VAFC is an interim mod that will just put you behind in the quest to the the real deal.

Whats Power FC/ VAFC?

[Philip Lee]

Apexi made both Power FC and VAFC.

Power FC is a ECU while a VAFC only tunes for air/fuel and maybe vtec control depends on the model.

thanks sam, is it ok if i go a 2nd hand or should i get brand new?

[supernatural]

2nd hand is good if its in working condition... save abit of $$ too...

[MrThanh]

after having a vafc, i wouldnt go down that route again. not worth the gains... but then again it was a K20A3 auto

What about Hondata?

Is there any gains in just tuning a stock car with Hondata?

I know this is a noob question - but is hondata just a cable that plugs in?

^Hondata is a full ecu - not a piggyback model (i'm pretty sure)

Basically, they take the engine control unit (the thing that controlls what your engine does) and replace it with something that a tuner can have (easier) control over.

The tuner can tune everything from ignition timing to air/fuel ratios and so forth - hence bringing out an engines full potential.

A VAFC can only tune/manage a few aspects of your engine.

Yes there is gains from stock motor tuned.

The ECU will need to be modified for hondata ready.

V-AFC will work but if you have big plans for the future i.e mod wise then best to invest in a Power FC or hondata.
