e-manage is a piggyback

Power Fc and hondata full standalone ECU.

Apexi power FC and hondata is plug and play, 10min to install.

E-manage you'll ned to get it wired in unless you buy the wiring harness if there's any.

Hard to say which one is better (power fc and hondata), talk to your tuner.

find the best tuner first, then speak to them about what they think is best.
i personally opted hondata s300 as the real time tuning makes things easier for the tuner and with options available like lambda tracing (autotune) with the use of a wideband o2 just put icing on the cake.
this is not a cheap option!!!
that cost me over 2500, including two p28s first i got was a dud, the s300, plx m300 wideband, tune, install/setup and conversion harness.

dont forget theres many people out there that are very competant with tuning with frewware programs like neptune/chrome/uberdata which will be fantastic for tuning and pricing.

2500???

pfc for sure then...im not sure what u meant by real time tuning etc being an advantage, the pfc does this too

[CUL8R]

2500 if u read what i wrote i had the following extras included in that given price. EXTRA p28 (200), wideband o2 sensor (550) and tuning (400) which alot of people do not include when doing some prices.

the key to that post was not the price of hondata, it was to find the tuner first THEN decide on ECU

i didnt really investigate PFC at all because my tuner HIGHLY reccomended the s300 and i dont want anyone tuning my car but him, simple as that. so yeah i dont know about its features

[CRXer]

Does the pfc have on board datalog or any datalogging?

Is there an english version of the software available for the pfc yet to read maps in full screen on a pc or do u have to do it all on the commander?

Can u adjust vtec with pfc?
