I'm deciding between the PowerFC and the FConV Pro. At the moment and I am wondering if anyone knows of a place where I can get the FConV Pro tuned in Sydney....

I'm guessing BD4's can do it and Ed has also told me of someone who can but does anyone know who else can and how the FCon is interfaced whether its through a PC and if you need the software etc.

btw I'm talking about the FConV Pro which is a replacement ECU not the piggyback FConS.

I'm pretty sure the F-Con Pro is not available here.

The other model is $1,400 or so + $400 harness so obviously the PowerFC is better value.

T.

you obviously haven't looked at the feature list ;)

You'd be more correct saying the PFC is cheaper :uh-huh:

Even with the HKS software you still need the magic cable.

Does PowerFC allow the use a MAP sensor at all?

In Japan brand new the FCon is more expensive than the powerFC. Although these two are the most popular ECU's here the FCon is still MORE popular than the PowerFC. Both Top Secret and Jun Auto use it for their tuning....

However they obvious can tune it here where as in Australia I guess no one can tune it from what I can see ni this thread.

I called the guy, he can do FCON S/e-manage etc...

Not the FCON V pro yet....so if you're not in a hurry and want the FCON V pro.... :P

He'll be back on the 26th too...

Ed: Umm I am not 100% if it would suit an R34 with a Neo or not... I am still trying to find someone to tune it and if not I am going to sell it... I am going to ring Tillbrooks today as they are prob the only ones if any that would do it here in Adelaide. If they do I will ask them if it will suit an R34.

I would not be asking a great deal , It also has an Apexi engine management module with it aswell + had a hand controller for that too but it got stolen out of the car when was at the importer, still trying to get that back... I will keep you posted mate, I want to find out exactly what is what before saying yes it will work on your car or no it wont.

I think its fully programmable so I guess it would suit most cars...

If I sell I would be asking under the price of a Power FC for SAU members.

If I sell on ebay then I will be asking alot more.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
