how many hp did you gain from that? Did you put the Apex sticker right next to the Vtec for more instant pawal!!

Yah I think Its easier then a 2G. I installed a VAFCII in a civic and it was cake. And I dont get why you are making fun of hondas. A friend of mine beat the shit out of a friend of mine with a DSM(and my stock DSM).

i installed an AVC-R last night on my talon in like 25 mins :) I read some guide somewhere where it took a guy like 6 hours and i laughed.

yeah being my first time splicing right at the ecu, and not having the correct pin locations at first, it took maybe an hour for the whole thing.

SLOW_V: we gained 45 hp right before vtech kicked in, then 46 after that. our g-tech pro told us.

Yeah, it was ridiculous, aparently nobody does anything with my ECU except for swapping it into older cars, so there are pinouts that tell you what wires to connect to the OBD-1 harnesses, but not really any good pinouts that tell what sensor each wire goes to.

Plus the fact that the instructions only have JDM engines, so since I don't have a civic type-r they didn't have a diagram for me.
