How do you like it? Dyno? Do you see any improvement in 1/4 mile or performance?
Thinking about getting one1
thanks.

AND A BIG BLUE FLAME
I was rear ended and I had an exhaust leak. But I had to install it. It dropped my 1/4 mile times about .5 seconds on gtech, which is consistent, thats the point. It worked well for me. I have a post somewhere with detailed numbers on gtech in comparisons. Do a search if you want.
V-Force cost about $239.00
And it does require tuning, but you can almost exactly set a a/f ratio of 14.7 that's perfect....so if you combine the Jet V-Force w/V-AFC, that's murder, and your talking about a extreme difference.

"BIG BLUE FLAME"
I have both the JET Vforce and VAFC.
The Jet vforce automatically calibrates the a/f ratio, the vafc allows for more fine tune and lowering the vtec point.

It's neither, it's like the the VAFC or Fields thingy, it [iggybacks onto the signals going to the ECU to trick into leaning the a/f ratio and advancing the timing. Not that that's bad, just that it isn't as versatile as a stand alone replacement ECU (though a hell of a lot cheaper).
Yeah, its not a direct computer upgrade, it wires into the sensors, gets a reading, calibrates it and sends the new air fuel mix toteh computer, same w/ ignition.
However it will not take care of check engine lights. If you do get one make sure you get the upgraded version, ti has holes in the back as vents, the older oens may trip a check engine light on accords and other cars. Haven't heard about an probs with the lude and that.
How does the v-force work? Or maybe the question is, why get a v-force if you have a vtec sfc controller? If the v-force only uses the throttle position and map lines, what does it do at WOT? Can it actually extract more power? I don't care about "more power" at partial throttle, personally. Or, does it do something to fool the computer such that it still has an effect at WOT?

If you have a VAFC, you already have a better a/f tuning tool than the v-force which is non-user programmable, it's one size fits all, no matter what your mods or engine conditions. The only thing it adds is timing advance, and Apex'i also makes something for that (who knows how it works though).
Wouldn't the V-force in affect, make a honda DOHC VTEC's operation closer to that of either the Celica GT-S or the new RSX engines, just based on the advanced timing??
Just its ability to optimize the timing makes it sound well worth the money to me.
2 of my friends with Preludes tried this out and there was definently some gains from the modification. It consistently lowered the 1/4 mile time by about .3-.5 seconds. We did multiple GTECH runs on the same night to test it out with it ON and OFF.
Thats another good thing about the Vforce is that you can turn it on or off just with a switch...
The only thing is, on Tony's 2000 Prelude SH the VForce was setting off the check engine and ATTS light
but on Guy's 99 Base prelude it did not set any lights off.
I bought the JET off Tony and is having trouble with the engine light problem. I have e-mailed Tony about it and see if he can send me the reciept for warranty. If you see him sometime please pass the word to him.
Thank you.

I have an issue with my 94 prelude si, it cranks but wont start.. I've changed the distributor cap and rotor, as well as the coil, and still no spark, what could be the issue
Do you know anyone that makes an aftermarket fuel guage? I'm thinking about putting some guages behind the black glass on the right side. However I didn't want to mix aftermarket guages and stock guages. I was looking at the Apex-i EL2 guages since they're blue and will somewhat match the...
