I have a stock 01 s2000, you know how 5.5-7 it really pulls, and when you get close to 8000-9000 it seems to somewhat level off, but still pulling?

I was curious with Bolts ons (I/H/E, not cat) and a vafc tuned if hat would be enough to resolve that?

Here are my results:

 

A well tuned V-AFC would fix that by itself. The other bolt-ons won't. The factory fuel map is very rich at high RPMs, so power drops off significantly. By leaning out the mixture up top, you can easily gain 15-20 HP at 8900 RPMs on a stock engine. By comparison, you may be able to get an additional 5 HP from an extra $5000 in bolt ons.

 

BTW, if you have an '00-'01 ECU, you will benefit greatly from a V-AFC if it is tuned by someone good (like Shawn Church).

 

i am thinking of taking it to either XS Engineering or Dynamic autosports, the tuner at XS used to work at apex, but where can get in contac twith Mr Church?

Whats different about the 00-01 ECU that benefits better from a V-AFC?

 

the 02-03 ecu was modified a little.... (for the better).... which is what the vafc will do to the 00-01...

 

I got an '02. It dyno'd at 202.7hp and 136.3tq. 1st run.

202.4hp & 136.0tq 2nd run
Cooled it down with a fan to the manifold and then...

205.9hp and 139.2tq...ALL STOCK

www.batlground.com in ATL is where it was done.


Getting I/H/E with VAFC tuning done. Can't wait to see results...

 

You will be disappointed with the results of the I/H/E. All together they might gain you 5 HP more than the V-AFC alone.
