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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
