r/t intake manifold actuator question?

ive been doing alot of research on running an magnum intake manifold on a non magnum motor. among this research iv read someone was running the actuator off a vafc. can that be done on a non magnum motor just to operate the valves. and would it still need the wot switch. i know it would need to wiring and relays to power up and allow operation of the actuator. might have posted in the wrong spot sorry in advance.

I don't see why not, the non-magnum should have all the same sensors that a vafc would run off of.

I really don't see the need for a WOT switch... The benefit of the secondary runners are under 3k and over 5k and most likely you wont ever hit 5k rpm unless you are at WOT.

The vafc is just a regular afc with a vtec activation added. So guess what? YOU'LL HAVE VTEC YO!!

Lol. Another question will I need to o run a tach adaptor with running a vafc to control the opening of the butterfly valves? Or can it be wired in with the vafc and a relay? I've read the install how to a couple times over but can't get a deff answer on it.

It's probably cheaper to run a Harlan switch and a relay. There is a post in the how to section about running the mag with the vafc. I'm sure it will tell you if you need the tach adapter. I was told at one point you didn't need them for the safc but I installed the adapter with it anyway. All my info is from 2006 when I had a safc
