Default Will the Apexi Power FC work on OBDII cars?

There websites states: Currently available exclusively through Power Excel Shops the Power FC replaces the factory ECU and controls all vital engine parameters (Off road use only, no OBD-II).

So I was wondering if this would still work on my OBDII 1996 Integra LS OBDII?

Simple yes or no.

Yeah, it only works on obd2, don't remember if it's obd2a or obd2b, but I think it's obd2a.

guilty i couldnt rememer which one it was. could you pm with details on your cop kit again? i keep on forgetting about it, lol


yes it will work, get the conversion harness... a vtec ecu can run a non-vtec car, hell i wouldnt run a non-vtec car on anything but a vtec ecu because when the ecu jumps over to vtec mode the map resoultion increases.t

no, what it means is that it wont read and display CEL codes so its not emissions legal i.e off road use only, it will plug into the obd2a ecu plugs but will not give co\des

The PFC will work with any OBD I,IIa or IIB car, but will only plug into the 96-98 chassis harness.

P.S. with either the OBDIIa/b the port is dead and will not support North American inspection station requirements.

It doesn't mean that during normal operations if your o2 sensor fails that you would have no indication of it.

and thats why i hope you dont bost your car..... an fmu is ahalf assed "omfg i gotz boost y0" ricer way of doing things.... if you truly want to have a turbod car that doesnt run like complete *** then at least look into uberdata or crome for gods sake... and dont i say i didnt warn you when it runs better at half throttle than it does at WOT, when it sputters, belches assloads of blacksmoke and gets about 100 miles to the tank
