OBD1 Better for tuning?

[deevibez17]

I'll be doing a f20b swap in the summer and a dude told me that i'll be at an disadvantage when tuning an obd2 ecu.Because obd1's are better for tuning.

I didnt think it mattered but how true is this?..

It has to do with emissions. OBDII is more strict. OBDI is less complicated.

so in other words it can be done but its more complicated.
i understand now.

 

[deevibez17]

is it the same issue wit k20's?
i dont know anything about tuning and the complexity of it.

if you swapped a k20 you would want to run k-pro. Then you're fine, you set your own rules for the car to follow.

do they have 1 for the f series, f20b?

Basically an OBDII can be tuned with a lot of limitations... The Odb1 world has been ripped apart over and over and has been figured out... So you walk into a shop with a tuned OBDII you are less likely to find support in some words... It is just all around better to run OBDI when tuning. If you were to say have a B18 from a 98 Integra into a 98 Civic and just wanted stock set up I would slap the OBDII ecu in and go. But when tuning you would be dumb not to go with OBDI
