F-CON

[H-Dogg]

The HKS F-CON is to be used along with the stock ECU, right?

 

[jailbird25]

right!!!

That's what I thought but then I saw a post for an F-CON on some classified my friend like to use and it said "replaces stock ECU"

Well the F-con Vpro is a standalone so you won't need an ECU, but the F-con S is a piggyback unit.,

You have to be near a authorized HKS dealer to tune it, unless you pay $$$$$ for the hack.

The V-pro is a standalone, but in 99% of installations, it is still piggybacked into the stock ECU. They do this to let the stock ECU control boring things like ISCV, AC, CEL, etc. You CAN run them into the V-pro if you really want, but the outputs are better used for other things.

Just for bragging purposes, I run a V-Pro 3.24 on my single 1JZ.

annoyingrob do you work at RCTS?

The V-Pro is cool but you really need to be near someone that can tune it

 

[annoyingrob]

No I don't work there. I'm just friends with people who work there.

I'm in a similar situation. Building a 350z TT with fcon. Anyone recommended in the NW to tune it?

 

[Ric]

You should make sure you have a tuner before you buy an ecu lol

RRev are tuners for HKS V-Pro, Motec, AEM, Pectel (very few of those!!) and a whole slew of other standalones

If in California

SP-Engineering. They are the folks that tuned Ken Henderson HKS V-Pro Supra.

If you don't have anyone around and want (or can flip the coin) to fly out some good tuners.
