New car with HKS gear need opinion on how many kilowatts it would have!!

[Jadles_R32_GTS-t]

Just purchased and import R32 5 speed with HKS FCON engine management system, with HKS pod filter, T28 ball bearing turbo, running 18psi it has a full 3.5 inch jasma exhaust system, has also got a HKS electronic Valve controller don’t quite have enough $$$ left over after insurance to have it dyno reading yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any clue on how much kilowatts it would be producing on a nice winter night

well your computer is about 5000 worth..

[Baz]

Damn.... serious? There worth that much?

do you really think the computer cost that much it was in the car when i brought it good buy i guess.

[paulr33]

the fcon management is apparently one of the best on the market but no one knows how to tune it so its pretty pointless. much like a mines ecu in australia, sure they are great but u cant make any changes. i think there is one place in aus who can do f-con in qld or nsw and they'd charge a bucket load as the are the only place who can. its probably making 180odd rwkw i'd say?

How do you figure that?

[Guest Mashrock]

maybe not 5000.. shit haha i was wrong.

way off but it is about 1500..

With the amount of tuners in this country who can actually do something with it, its worth next to nothing...

[Guest Mashrock]

actually there arre a few good people here in sydney who can tune them

[BU5TER]

who?

[Jadles_R32_GTS-t]

After you said it was $5000 I had a look on the net and the comp was $2000 to $2500 new, so it would be about $1500 to $2000 now. I had an idea of the price I just wouldn't know how much kilowatts it would produce with the after market shit on it.

I will have to take it to the dyno, when I have a bit more money, expensive things.

I think the tuning needs a bit of a touch up I talked to the guy that sold it to me and he said the comp had been in there for a few months and was installed and tuned in Japan, though the warranty that I got doesn’t cover tuning it he recons as it’s not a mechanical problem (bull shit).

I think it has back fired like 3 times since I have owned it (I think it is cause of the leads, they will be changed in a couple days so I’ll find out then) and in the morning he sits on 400revs when you first start him instead of starting him and being at 1000 in the day time, i think thats kind of normal though just being cold and not being started after 10 hours. Anyway getting to the point the guy I bought it from he said it is all normal. What do you think? I think he is trying to get out of his warranty????? But I’m a bit paranoid about this car as I’ll be paying it off for 5 years

I didn't think it would be a problem getting it tuned here?? But if that is what you guys think who are the couple of companies or mechanics in QLD that can tune it??

If there are no tuners in Australia that can work on it I can always plug the standard one back on it’s still sitting in the car, I only found the HKS comp in the car when I was getting my alarm put in a couple of days ago I thought it was running a standard management system until then.

who?

mine works fine doesnt it??

do you still have air flow meters?

and the 400rpm thing is not a problem. mine always does it for about 5 seconds then kicks up to around 1000 and sits there smoothly.

sorry I meant who tunes them?

[KIL.08S]

Croydon Racing Development tunes mine... does a pretty good job of it usually to. BD4's can also do them in sydney. i dont know of any other places but i'm sure there is at least one place in each capital city in Aus. Its a damn good computer to, other then the difficulty of getting it tuned i would not swap it for anything else.

I go to Sydney like once a year so if there is no one in QLD then that can be an option thanks.

I go to the Central coast mostly how far are either of the places from there??

[KIL.08S]

not long, only about an hour and a half.
