Default Just purchased a VAFC for my 00

Hey guys,

Anyone know of a place that can actually tune a vafc for WOT without costing over 150. I was thinking about adjusting it myself with a dyno which has a wideband to make sure its not running to lean on top after adjustment but wanted to see other options.

I purchased the frog harness with the vafc and it should be coming in by this Friday.

My mods are k&n fipk and test pipe. Has anyone locally tuned their own vafc for their car?

I would just hate to pay 150 plus dyno time to a tuner which is only adjusting the WOT of the vafc when I've heard its pretty easy to adjust yourself.

Any info appreciated,

Thanks

If you have a Data Logger like a Z-Tec or similar WOT tunning is easy. To tune it properly (which is questionable with a AFC) if needs to e on a Dyno in a controlled enviroment. If the dyno has a load function even better.

I just called JDM and their price was 150. I advised him that I didnt want the partial throttle setting adjusted which should take off half the time you would normally take adjusting a vafc but they said its the same price..

Any other locations one might recommend. I was going to call fyne tune since My friend with an evo has done some work there to get a price check..

Called fyne tune, they charge 150 plus a dyno. But they said they would work with me regarding the tuning since it's only WOT.

Why is it so expensive to tun a vafc if its only WOT. From what i read and from what fyne tune advised me, it takes around 30minutes to 1hr to tune.

JDM FTW

probably better off goin with someone who specialize in honda's and knows the s2000. and JDM is one of the very few that do. sure you will get everyone else that says yea we can do this and we can do that.


like i always say....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!. bottom line.
