VAFC Harness Group Buy - Plug and Play! - Honda Prelude Forum

marcucci · 02-12-2004, 07:44 PM

OK, here's your chance. I am orchestrating a group buy for:

OBD2a Plug and Play VAFC1 Adapter Harness
OBD2a Plug and Play VAFC2 Adapter Harness

By plug and play, I mean these things plug RIGHT into the VAFC. No wiring needed! Installs literally as fast as you can unplug your ECU wiring and plug it back in.

This harness is GUARANTEED to work on all OBD2a vehicles... not just the 96-01 Prelude. That would be:

1996-1998 Civic
1996-1999 Integra
1996-2001 Prelude

Please do not ask if I can get OBD1 or other harnesses; if this GB goes well I will offer others, but this GB is ONLY for the two listed above.

Build quality on this harness is EXCELLENT. Best you will find anywhere. ALL pins are wired through, not just the ones that are used (that's why it will work on all OBD2a vehicles).

OK, so what you really want to know:
- $160 SHIPPED (Priority) in the US. Email me for int'l shipping.
- I need 15 buyers to do this. The # of VAFC1 and VAFC2 harnesses doesn't matter (I just need 15 total).
- Payment will be handled via PayPal.

Email me at todd@ntpog.org your email, real name, username, and qty/type (VAFC 1 or 2) if you are interested and I will email everyone when I have enough people. I will be able to ship within 1 week of having enough PayPals to execute the buy.

As an added bonus, I will offer a $10 refund to anyone who ships me their original VAFC connection pigtail in GOOD CONDITION (can be used on future harnesses). I will refund upon reciept and confirmation that it is in good shape.

Email or post if you have any questions.

For those of you curious about how to get to the wiring in the 5g, here is a writeup on it:

http://www.ntpog.org/mods/fifth-afc/wiring.shtml

It is for wiring up a VAFC which you will NOT need to do with this harness (since it is P&P).

Also, to answer a question I got via email... the "pigtail" is the wire that comes with the VAFC that you would normally splice into your ECU harness. You do not need this with the harness in the GB and it can be used to make future harnesses- which is why I am offering cash back for it.

WHOA!!!! HOLY SH!T!... I'm down for a VAFC1 harness for sure

If you don't get 15 people, can I still get one (but obviously for a higher price)???

marcucci · 02-13-2004, 05:24 PM

Yes. If I don't get 15 I will see what I can do as far as price for the qty.

all u have to do is unplug the ecu and plug in this harness and it will work? i dont want to be suckered like with the fields harness everybody said it was easy and just have to do a few simple things, then when i ask for help no one has used it. im interrested in buying this piece.

TimeRacer · 02-13-2004, 06:16 PM

This is probably (not to step in Todd) based upon the Fields harness, however all the connections that need to be made to hook up a VAFC or VAFC II come pre connected. Which is why the VAFC pigtail is shown in the pictures. With Todd's wiring harness it would be a very simple install of unplugging the connectors from the ECU and then plugging them into the wiring harness and then plugging back in the ECU. The whole install should take less than 20 minutes at most.

Todd: Great to see that you're able to finally get these out. I know you've been thinking about it for a while.

marcucci · 02-13-2004, 09:23 PM

To be clear, it's not a Field's harness. It is was designed from the start to be a VAFC harness. The Field's (and most "VAFC" harnesses) requires you to cut and splice the VAFC wiring to the harness.

This harness DOES make it simple. Unplug the wires at the ECU, plug them into this harness, plug this harness into the ECU. Plug the VAFC into this harness. It's THAT simple. No wiring, splicing, or any of that.

The most difficult part of this will be getting to the ECU to unplug the connectors. Check the link I posted above for that process.

Again, you will have to do NO splicing! It's really plug and play.

The harnesses ARE specific, though, to the type of VAFC... I need to know if you want the original ("1") or the new Ver. 2.

AsianPersuasion · 02-14-2004, 12:35 AM

^^^ this sounds perfect... regardless of how many people you get, please contact me for pricing.

ZRoEXzisTeNcE · 02-14-2004, 02:36 AM

is this a one time thing? or will these be availible in the future? i don't plan on gettin a VAFC till at least the end of march. i just dropped a deposit on an smsp header and can't really spare money to get anything else till i pay off the rest.

98PreludeVtec · 02-14-2004, 10:19 AM

this is what i have been looking for no splicing needed perfect!

i have the original(1) VAFC u couldnt have put this up at a better time i am getting my vafc custom molded so i need to hook it up. Just let me know when u want payment and the account to send it to by paypal. im in!thanks

Prelude Racer · 02-15-2004, 03:02 PM

im interested count me in

pacaveli · 02-15-2004, 03:39 PM

im prolly in on this too, for a ver 2

alphajesse · 02-15-2004, 08:42 PM

This is a really cool product. If I planned on getting a VAFC, I'd definately buy one.

Here's a question- what's the possibility of just getting the two ends of the harness without the VAFC connectors? I need something like an ECU extension cord!

marcucci · 02-16-2004, 07:29 AM

Read the original post. Send me an email with your real name, email address, type of VAFC you have (ver 1 or 2) and how many you want.

These may or may not be available at a later date and I may or not be able to get others.

alpha, I can get that kind of harness but it will probably cost more (unless you can find 15 friends that want them, too

).

98PreludeVtec · 02-16-2004, 04:02 PM

you've got mail marcucci

AsianPersuasion · 02-16-2004, 08:18 PM

Todd... you've been emailed

Kool-Lude · 02-18-2004, 03:20 PM

This is a steal!!! You guys should jump on this.

I paid $150 shipped for my field harness and spent several hours cutting, splicing, soldering, etc. and rechecking all my connections 50 times or so. Plus I'm still not 100% sure its all correct.

And you can't go wrong with the seller...its MARCUCCI

LUDExCONDUCT · 02-21-2004, 02:00 PM

ttt

AsianPersuasion · 02-22-2004, 07:02 PM

What would the price be if it is just the current 8 buyers right now? You can PM me if you don't feel like posting it here

marcucci · 02-23-2004, 12:05 PM

We now have 9. I will wait until Friday evening; if we are 12+ I will go ahead and spring for the difference to make qty 15 and the price will be unchanged. If we are <12 then the price will be $10 higher. Either way the GB will be going through.

If anyone backs out b/c of the $10 increase I'll come up with something then!
