Apexi V-AFC - Honda Prelude Forum

GreenLude97 · 03-06-2002, 08:39 AM

i have a 97 ss prelude with i/h/e/p would this be a good future mod or should i keep saving up for a body kit?

It should help you a bit if you can dyno tune it. It will smooth out the powerband quite a bit and lean out the a/f mixture at WOT so your rear bumper/exhaust tips aren't covered in carbon deposits

Personally, I'm holding out for a body kit first, then the V-AFC, then I'm gonna quit spending money for a while

U will get good gains from it but it is really about your priorities.

Greek Lude · 03-06-2002, 09:22 AM

VAFC was my best mod.

i highly recommend it.

If u want to drive to Harrisburg, PA Cementups boy Terry can do it for like $10 bucks. But they don't have a dyno so u would have to go somewhere else.

I live in MD also, and I plan on getting my V-AFC installed pretty soon. I want o install it myself, but I'm waiting on a friend of mine to get a free minute so he can supervise my work. If you don't get yours installed until after I get mine in, I'll do yours for free as long as I can get mine in and working correctly, and as long as you don't mind driving down to PG County.

I bought mine from Options Auto for about $350. I'm sure some stores sell them locally, but don't know of any that have them in stock.

the installation isnt hard, you just got to be patient and solder your connections, basically. worst part about this install was that i had a stiff neck afterwards. hahaha.
