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.

according to bd4s they cannot tune the FCON V pro....because software is all in Japanese...i wanted one of these units but couldnt find n e one to tune it..going to stick with std for now. till ifind out..cause this unit has alot of features...out doing PowerFC pro...too..

where can i get software? for this or the PFC pro....

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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
