Arr This Sucks hard...

i have just bought my self a r32 Gtr Fresh from jap

And i have found it not only has full track setup

but it also has aftermarket turbos and hks fcon v pro GOLD

and from reading all the post about it.. iam better of shelfing

the fooker and getting my self a power fc

cause of the lack of tuners around.. since iam in brisbane...

champ

keep the Fcon you got. they are great ecu.

just find the tuner can tune it.

i get my pro v tuned at GT auto garage in newmarket........very happy with dave s tuning :(:(

just saw this post.

i am sure GT auto do well with HKS

Hi guys...just adding to the thread and i know its been written about before but...im chasing an ecu for a Auto R33 (as i dont really want to go to the trouble of $$$manual conversion, power fc, clutches etc, etc. Greddy Emanage ultimate or HKS FCON V Pro?????....(or perhaps even another system?? I have a few modifications, Hypergear Hi Flow, FMIC, 3" Exhaust, Spitfire coilpacks, Boost T and other little goodies...and am looking at 040 fuel pump, S15 manual injectors and Z32 AFM soon. So would just like any information on which of these two is better for an Auto or perhaps another manufacturers product that wont have me robbing a bank....

cheers

Nice thanks for the info...is the emanage ultimate a bad ecu?...I have only heard good things about the FCON VPRO and am currently looking into getting one brand new either from here or the states, or perhaps and adaptronic, but was wondering what the greddy ecu's are like...anyone out there running one or has run one some feedback would be much appreciated cause on paper they appear to be an good ecu choice for an auto, but reading the forums people don't seem to go much on them lol...

cheers

When I had my 32GTR, it had a HKS fcon v computer (gold looking thing) and the tune was okay, but a little lean, and advanced on full boost.

It worked quite well, save for a few little glitches from bad connections on the harness.

Had it tuned at BD4's in Sydney by Tom. He had a lot of experience with these computers.

Bought a navigator for it but it wasn't compatible to my older computer.

They are pretty much a stand alone ecu and have 32x32 mapping.

Being a MAP sensor based ecu, there are more maps to tune and get right, compared to MAF setups.

Also with multiple throttle bodies like the GTR, they are harder to tune again, but if done right are great!

Ended up going to a PFC with 80mm AFM's.

How does it compare price wise, with say the Vi-Pec or Djetro ?

GT Auto Garage are the people to see reguarding the Fcon tuning. Dave is outstanding with his tuning capability and knowledge on this ecu. Highly recommended....

I have 1000cc injectors, and an Fcon V Pro on my RB and it starts without fail. No waiting for it to cool after a long run or hard driving, cold starts are fantastic.

Awesome, It looks as though is similar money to Vipec and it was going to GT auto anyway so :)

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
