Apexi makes a universal computer that works...
Apexi Neo AFC... Have it, works great!
Lives where the cup holders used to be...

It controls stuff like air/fuel (in its name), vtec in/out, monitoring, proformance graph logging, and the tool ive actually used the most, the batery guage - long story.

Well I'm sure it has some pretty gauges but unless you are highly modified (read F/I) it doesn't do a damn thing to help performance.

I have the APEXI VAFC and other than looking really cool molded into the sunglass holder, it doesn't do much).

Or dyno tuned. That and the stock ecu overrides every thing we can do

Its true that the ecu will de-tune the Neo's adjustments over time?
I heard that pulling the battery and hitting the break pedal and or resetting the ecu compensates for this.
