Phil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah they work grand but i wouldnt try running much more than a stock td04 on them, better than a mines/jam/bltiz etc Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 ok,what about how the hell to wire in,and also do they just wire in and work like a jam or mines ecu ,or are they programable/have dials and ajustments on the unit itself ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 just read a bit into them (found a full user manual online) and u have to use a hks fcd with these units. needless to say wont be buying this !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) just read a bit into them (found a full user manual online) and u have to use a hks fcd with these units. needless to say wont be buying this !! why? ok,what about how the hell to wire in,and also do they just wire in and work like a jam or mines ecu ,or are they programable/have dials and ajustments on the unit itself ? they piggyback like a emanage rather than a jam mines etc. they have at least 7 maybe 8 settings. you can add more adjustability if you want. Also it can run an ep82 of this also not just ep91 the internal rom is the same i think. Phil Edited October 30, 2013 by Philm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 So am i right in thinking this is like a piggyback, but also like a plug and play lol but with adjustments and you need to use a FCD? What About a RRFPR Surely this will add yet more adjustment?Is it along the lines of a SAFC 2 Then or different again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What About a RRFPR Surely this will add yet more adjustment? Is it along the lines of a SAFC 2 Then or different again? Its a piggyback ecu, with a rom specced for the ep82/91 it has about 8 preset settings.(when GCC graphic control computor is added this fine tuning is increased significantly) the full fcon kit would ideally include a FCD SLD GCC and MAP sensor (all compatitble HKS items) it can run larger injectors and auto trim fuelling to still give good afrs part throttle. it does not like raised fuel pressure. with the use of wideband the difference in tune between this and a Emanage ultimate is negligible up to about 270hp where injectors need moved above 370cc or so. above which the emu retains control of the injectors better but not for a whole lot longer.

TurboTobz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's an average piggyback, it's the hks fcon pro-v gold you want if you want something like that, amazing ecus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's an average piggyback, it's the hks fcon pro-v gold you want if you want something like that, amazing ecus. totally different price range to produce very similar result unless you going with a pretty big turbo. HKS F con ECU (2nd hand) £600 HKS F con Map sensor and harness £180 HKS Universal F con loom £102.12 Nissan Skyline GTR TPS £66.66 Motec wheel speed sensor £72 expensive once you get it together and even more so new! Nobody is saying its the best setup in the world, but very little(nothing in my experience) between the results vs EMUltimate up to around 270hp. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) well, unless your going with a more powerful set up and pushing the barriers a standalone is a bit wasteful. You can do a lot with the gold though, separate maps for different situations (switchable) and able to run things like COP conversion and lose that dizzy!

TurboTobz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There are more similar ecu's out there for less money but the gold holds soo much jdm value ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are more similar ecu's out there for less money but the gold holds soo much jdm value ;) Sorry i mistook your first comment as suggesting something as a realistic alternative in both price and performance to the orig fcon Yes the original Fcon is a oldskool option and no its doesnt have the adjust ability of other options but even without that ability it and without the price it gives the similar results up to 270 is hp.
