Do you reach under the hood and increase the fuel pressure every time VTEC engages and then turn it back down afterward?

LOL, the VAFC can control when it puts in more fuel...

Yes. But not greater than 50%. Nor can it modify ignition timing.

ok then explain to everyone that has done a mini-me swap and used the Si wire harness that it won't work but they use it and it works fine. for the timing how does it modify the timing? retard the timing more or adavance?

Advances


Working and working right can be very, very different.


If I spent time and money on a swap I'd go the extra $200 to get 100% power gains rather than settle for whatever gets the job done. :dunno: VAFC, sure. Pill kit? No way.

my timing is already a tad advanced right now so i'd notice VTEC more than if it was perfect on timing. right?
