bring the old thread alive again

regarding the Apexi Power FC.
it comes with everything i need right? just plug and play? then get a tunner to tune it for me?
and when i dont it, i could take it off and use the stock ECU yes?

**Civic Type R** · 05-10-2006 05:18 PM

yes yes and yes

**EK4R** · 05-10-2006 05:31 PM

customisable?
someone shoot me a site or something

Have a good look at the s300j before u go any further.

ATM u could get one installed & tuned for the purchase price of a power fc alone.

s300j more capable unit as well.

na na its cos i have a friend with a power fc. so just interested in the power fc atm . what are some of the features cos i know the s300 has alot

i had a power FC in the civic..now unless u want to pay a bit extra for the functions like throttle launch n etc from the hondata s200 n up then i wouldnt bother..

i bought my power FC for 900 2nd hand..and got it tuned for 600 by dyno dave..best money i spent on the car..u cant go cheap on tuning cause as they say..itll make or break the car

personally in my opinion for ur car..just go power FC..bang for buck

but then again how much are the s300's these days?

George.
Go Power FC.

You WILL need launch control.

**EK4R** · 06-10-2006 12:26 PM

explain launch control im noob at this.
is it like the m3 launch contrls?? :P

oh and btw adam, when i buy a Power fc has to be compatible for the b16a OBDII ecu right?

**notorious_ahmie** · 06-10-2006 12:32 PM

u can rev the car as hard as u want..and itll max out and wat u set it to..like lets say u take off on 5k rpm..if u put the accelerator all the way down..itll just sit on 5k..so u do a perfect launch everytime if u get the clutch right of course lol
