Re: Need a computer for tuning
I have heard good things about the FI/C, but in the end it's still a piggyback. When Dezod was messing with it and said good things about it, I bought one, but never put the turbo back on.
Like TRIZ said, the end-all EMS is a K-pro, but it is spendy.

I have the Aem Fic and i like it. Easy to tune with as long as you can read your short and long term fuel trim with a scanner. Lets just say it much better than pcs xfc which i was running before.

The xfc might work fine in a 01 to 03 civic but not on 04 to 05 because the 04/05 use the current sensing wideband o2 sensor. my car always showed 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank I Sensor 1) and ran poor with the xfc.

When I was looking at tuning options for an NA build, I thought I read the FIC couldnt change the rev limit, which was a huge deal breaker for me.

If the OP is looking for a computer then he doesn't want the AEM F/IC it is only a piggyback. The Kpro is the standalone, as well as others but Kpro is probably best.
