Put in simple terms: it allows you to change air/fuel mixtures and change the VTEC engagement point by interfacing with the ECU. S2000s generally (by far) run rich (rich with fuel), and the thought is that if we leaned out the fuel, we may be able to get more HP by achieving the optimum air/fuel mixture in partial or WOT positions.

Since the custom harness hasn't been created yet, are there any individuals out there who have already done the installation themselves?

btw, bottle is selling them for 290./ea. he has them in stock too. http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.asp?mode...ead&row_id=1859

I'd be interested too if there were real world gains that I could feel. Does this VAFC work with an s/c too or am I just a wishful dreamer. I plan to get an s/c within a year and don't want to sell this thing later.

Here is a supplemental question to autoEX's S/C question: Instead of merely boosting fuel pressure at high S/C boost, wouldn't it be better to adjust fuel per climbing boost levels for optimum performance?

If I already have a boost guage (heads-up display), get a dyno of my car, how hard would it be to optimize fuel air ratios with this VAFC?

Whoa there... don't toss the FPR. The FPR actually raises the fuel pressure to let more fuel spray through the injectors while they are open. This is important because the stock fuel pressure isn't high enough to supply fuel for a boosted car. The V-AFC allows you to fine tune the pulse width of the injectors (length of time they stay open). This is good for fine tuning, but you most likely will NOT be able to lengthen your pulse widths to the extent that the FPR will not be necessary. Use both.
