[inho78]

hey guysas some of you know im doing a rebuild for my s13redtop...cppistons, eagle rods, greddy 272/264 cams and valave springs etc.. with 550cc injectors, s15 turbo. at first i was gonna keep the stock setup and bought FCON V not the FCON V PRO. It's been real hard for me to find info on the fcon v over the internet and i was wondering if you guys no if it can be tuned and handle the mods i have above...just wanted to knwo if it can handle 550cc injectors....if not, what would be a good engine mgmt fo around 500bux..i wish i could afford a power fc..any info would help guys

FConV's are only tunable with the proper software. I do believe this software is only available in Japanese, and also only attainable in Japan.

I researched this about a month ago. The FConV was discontinued even in Japan, so getting any support for them is extremely unlikely. I called HKS and they said that it wasn't a very good idea for us stateside SR guys. They are tuned for Japanese gas, which is much higher octane rating, and that could really hurt your performance and engine. it is a mystery box tuned for criteria different than yours, almost impossible for us to reprogram, and there is no way to read what is in it. you'd be better off with the ol' SAFC.

Japanese gas is not higher in octane, they just use a different rating system.

Thanks for clearing that up Jeff. I guess whateverhisnamewas at HKS was wrong about that part. As usual, it's really nice to see you posting in NICO. Sorry to jack the thread a bit, but speaking of gas, I just run the 91 octane premium up here (90 in the winter like now) but have heard adding a few gallons of the pump race gas can help against detonation, not that I have any. Is 90-91 octane alone ok for me pushing 13psi?
