Looks neat... not like I need it but hey why not.

 

well it dosnt say any thing bout 06 soo iono??? but looks clean but damnn $170 i think is too much IMO

 

well it says "plugs into the OBD-II diagnostic connector" so i wonder if the ECU in the civics have those?

All post-95 models cars have OBD2, so yeah itll work.

for 170 bucks, youre better off to go with the APEXi i-MONI. runs about 140. save 30 bucks, get the name, and more features. Ill find a link and give it to you.

yup yup

 

100% Gurantee would not work. OBD II readers would not work on the 2006 CIVIC si. The computer that is in the SI is slightly different. You could go ahead and buy it but I've already tried it. "GReddy Informeter"

Why wouldnt it work. OBD II is the standard now. Has been since 1995.

 

You go pay for it and try it. Like I said I gurantee that it doesn't work.
The 2006 Civic Si the ECU is OBD II but its slightly different.
I tried it myself at work at GReddy and a Apexi one at a local shop.

 

So then what DOES the si connect to.

 

Alright so what can connect to the ECU...such as APEXi...with the VTEC controller and air/fuel ratio...the basic piggyback fuel system....would that fit?

Negative.

The VAFC-II, along with other controllers. is connected directly to the ECU, through either jimmy rigging the wiring, or buying a harness.

The OBD2 diagnostic port is used for, get this, diagnostic readouts from the ECU itself, and reading and deleting codes that the ECU puts out.

 

Alright so what harness would you need to put an APEXi on with the VTEC controller...or do you think that it would be better to go with the reflash?

 

We need someone from a dealer to come in here and tell us what this thing does and does not plug up to. Or maybe someone with a helm manual.
