Bay Area Luders with VAFC - Honda Prelude Forum

soloLude · 05-16-2002, 11:35 AM

sup luders,

i am waiting for my Apexi VAFC unit to arrive..but in the meantime juss wanted to search for a place to install/dyno/tune the VAFC. anyone in the bay area (san jose area) know of a place to install the VAFC, and then dyno/tune it? there is the new place that opened called Thunder Alley, but does anyone know if they do the install and tuning, because i know the dyno is $50.

Or does anyone in the bay area feel confident enough to install it for me?

but yeah bay area luders help me out thanks

tuning on a dyno will run you at least $125 ... I've been asking around and DSR wanted 185 a few months ago.

Install it yourself. It isn't hard at all, but it does require patience, and being in some difficult positions. Just make sure to check twice, and cut once.

If you've installed a stereo before you can install this. I installed mine myself and it probably took an hour to do it...probably would of taken less time if i hadn't cut myself on the metal frame that supports the ECU.

thunder alley does install and tune. rob really knows what's going on, plus after dynoing may car, they know that our _real_ redline is about 8100 rpms

if you're calling around for prices, see if they'll make a deal for two ludes doing the exact same thing. I'll go in with you cause I need to do this too.
