looking to buy an f-conv (not pro). im in Japan at the moment but i cant find anything about them. the guy who is selling it says its easy to tune but i dont know if it needs software(like the pro) or what the perameters are or what functions it has. its cheap and it is pre programed for my gts4 so im really keen to find out

more. it comes with a book which i shouldnt have any troubles getting translated, but soft ware? hand set? minimal japanese cant ask these questions!

any help apreciated.

I the situation that you install in in an R33 or R34, I believe it operates as a piggyback computer. The tune can vary plus or minus 7 percent (stock ecu variation) and is therefore a waste of money and time, may as well have one of those shitty safc's in there... That said it will modify ignition timing but as I said it will vary due to the stock ecu making variations.

hey all,

I've got one of these pfc f-con thingys to which i bought a while back, all these things are a bit confusing as ppl keep thinking its a power fc which bought, well all mine says on the cover is pfc f-con and says it is a programmed fuel computer system, there doesnt seem to be anything where a hand controller can be pluged into, its is a piggy back computer. Does this computer simply over ride the factory pre set fuel map and compensate accordingly to modifications made to the engine such as afm enlargement?

F Con V has extremely limited support in Australia. There are only two or three tuners I know of in Australia for it (CRD, BD4s).

For that reason alone I'd go something that is accessible by most tuners (eg SAFC, PFC with handcontroller, etc)

,24 Jan 2006, 09:05 PM]so is the pfc f-con programmable or is it pre programmed? as i said , there is no where for a controller or lap top to plug into, does it need to be pulled apart

The Pfc f-con is before the f-conv. you can get a thing called a HKS gcc to plug into it to further control fuel over the rev range. Stick HKS gcc in a google search. From what i understand of this one (the pfc) it blocks a few unwanted signals from the standard computer and increases fuel plus changes timing for increased boost specifically programed for that model of car. the gcc gives an element of customisation but is not so difficult to use, dont know where it plugs into but they are advetised a bit. if you have a a\f meter and understand how a computer works you can do teh fine tune yourself it a general interpolated ajustment to teh fuel curve between seven points on the rev range simular to the fuel ajustment function on the preprogramed microtech, but with more interpolation, some people only spin second and third hand info (not helpful guys!). saw some sites where rally cars were using them and were impressed. They are also still popular here in japan.

Still cant find info on the f-con v ! (not pro!!!)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
