Apexi ® Super VTEC AFC-2

I am seriously thinking about adding this into my current side setup. The Apexi ® Super VTEC AFC-2 is a piggy back system that hacks into the ECU allowing you to manipulate the amount of fuel intake and the VTEC setting of any Honda or Acura car. Currently the default VTEC setting for my Honda EG9 is at 4800rpms. With the Apexi ® Super VTEC AFC-2 I can set it as low as 3000 rpms. This means that the VTEC can kick in at about 3rd gear or 2nd gear (if I stretch it a bit).

Having the cam shift at 3000 rpms means lower fuel consumption for more horsepower. For long distance driving this is a good thing. It allows you to hit higher straight line speeds at a fraction of the fuel burn. The possible drawback is that you get all your settings screwed up. A piggy back system requires trial and error. You will need to experiment a lot with in order to get the best setup for your car.

This involves testing at (ideally) all shift ranges. Really for the tune-head but worth the money. It retails for roughly USD339 which is RM1200. A lot of money for a rather high-end toy.
