Default Apex VAFC tuning....

I want to tune my new apex VAFC without spending money to dyno tune it to my car, I heard somewhere there is a site with tuning setting for different cars that already have been tested or whatever. Anyone heard this before? Anyone have a car like mine that has dyno tuned there VAFC? I have a 00 civic si with a AEM CAI and a Skunkworks short shifter.

every car is different. what works for someone may not work for you. get it done right the first time and take it to a shop.

something like a VAFC hack?


i doubt that will work on just a AEM CAI mod.

if u can shell out 300 bukks for a vafc, u can shell out an additional 100 bukks to get it tuned. butt dyno and internet settings may do more harm then good.

if i were you id wait till i had more than just a CAI to get it dyno'd. if you just got a CAI its a waste of 100 bucks to get it tuned cause once you get the header and exhaust and cams its gonna need to be retuned and there goes another 100 bucks.

I hear you, I didn't pay 300 for it though.. I just don't want anyone to touch my car, the only shop worthy on dynoing it are dicks if you install it yourself. Like that's a hard thing to do or something :ghey:

I know my car doesn't have much kid, but she has it where it counts...

I've street-tuned my crap. Don't play with it more than +/- 5% and you'll be fine.

NOTE: Not my fault if you break your car.
