just wondering where is the best place to mount?

also, at what rpm should the vtec engagement be set at? (4500 rpm, is it ok?)

thanks

As for the VTEC point..post it up in the UNDER THE HOOD section.....
(4500 is way to low)

As for the mounting, I would do it either in the radio door, or in the space BEHIND the cupholder.

I'd put the VTEC at 5500-5800RPM.

On '00-'03 it is roughly 6000-6200 RPM at stock, to make it really smooth and gain power, you don't want to lower it much. If you do lower it to 5500, it is a very big difference in feel. You will no longer feel the VTEC 'kick', which disappoints some, but you will have a smooth transition and gain power in that range. I gained almost 10WHP with my V-AFC II.

thanks s2k1, did you have to keep tuning and retuning yours, bc i heard it is just not "plug and play"

also, if i decide to not use the vafc anymore, will the vtec go back to normal(stock), like back to 6000?

will the car be normal again? (like i never installed the vafc II ever).



thanks

I only had mine on for about two weeks and drove the car a total of 200 or so miles with the V-AFC. After that I took the V-AFC out(which returned it back to normal) and I went turbo with a Greddy E-manage.
