Power FC's were only used for the FC3S RX-7 turbo. BTW they are not worth the money and will cause more problems than you want.

Power FC can have 1 map and is application specific cuz it emulates the stock functions and harness pin positions. FC = fuel commander
Generally they have it for SR, 13b, RB, B16/B18, 2zz, 3sgte, 4g63 evo 7 and down, and 1jz/ 2jz type engines.
There is no S2000 application
For S2000 ur limited to:
making custom jumper harness for Motec or Haltech EMS systems or using the AEM EMS for 00-05 or Kpro for 00-05.
For 06+ you can pretty much just use Motec or Haltech EMS because they can control Drive by wire systems. Especially motec can, it can control traction control, stability control, DBW, and have multi step rev limiters and soft rev limiters. Or alternatively you can reflash the stock ecu on some 06-08 car, hondata does that.
HKS Fcon Vpro can be used as well, but i've not seen it on any s2000 in usa.

yeah i would recommend going with something that's popular with your tuners. a lot of the newer systems have better features. man i haven't heard of anyone using a power fc since my bro used it on his FD RX7 like 5 years ago... search around the forums, you have lots of options.

They are popular with the mr2 crowd as well.

Having worked with the Apexi PFC personally I'd say it's a great unit. I've street tuned 2 turbod celicas and have had great results. It's a fairly easy to use program as long as you know what everything means in a technical sense. The resolution of the maps are great at 20x20 so you can fine tune pretty rigorously. But there are still a few things on there that I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it's for/does.
+1 on wishing they had this for the S2000!

I'm probably getting one for my RB25 - AEM EMS is almost impossible to find used for that motor and I don't want to buy it new for 2K
For reference I have the 25 in my S14 chassis.
