My current mod is 3" HKS exhaust, Blitz downpipe, Trust oil cooler, std intercooler, std ECU. Intend to upgrade to HKS Type S intercooler + Boost Controller soon.

What would you think is next best upgrade, ECU or Turbo first? I am not looking for high HP but more streetable power when the need arises. From what i know is the std ECU won't boost more that 0.8bar.

If it was ECU, should i go for F-Con Vpro or Power FC? Pls factor in cost also.

If turbo, should it be HKS GT-RS or HKS 2835? What are the characteristic for both turbo compared? intend to boost 1.0bar for daily driving. Need advice...thx in advance :)

What you guys think of the FCon V Pro? I know some prople who can bring the Japs and tune but quite costly. But it has one function that once the A/F is fixed to a certain amount, whatever boost you run the fuel will be optimized for it.

I like Power FC but is it easy to learn to tune by myself on the road or dyno? :)

1. In order for the FCon V Pro to "self tune" it would need a wide and fast lambda sensor and extensive interpretation hardware and software. I have not seen any evidence of that.

2. If you have a stand alone A/F metre there is no reason why you couldn't tune any (tunable) ECU on the road

:) cheers :D

IMO, and sure this will be flamed by many other forum members, I just don't agree with buyign a powerfc, paying 500 for a tune, and then having to tune it again after you get your turbo.

I am still saving at the moment to collect all the parts I need and then i'm going to do them all in one hit.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
