anyone know much about these?
Anyone?
.
not an enormous amount, my understanding is that they have more control than a PFC, BUT, you cannot have them mapped by anyone other than an HKS registered dealer as they have some sort of code lock.
Is this the Gold one ?
I know a few modded cars that run this, properly set up allows you to remove MAF sensors etc
I have 1... Took it out tho as theres no1 in Ireland i would trust to map it or take care of it after it was mapped so i put in a power fc...
Half of it still sittin in the car... Must take it out actually!!
Might go back to it in time if its a better ecu for runnin more power etc...
It piggys off the standard ecu tho...
i have one on my skyline and they beat hands down the Apexi FC\'s. There are more maps available on the F con\'s plus the tuning abilitys are a greater.
For example 2 highly tuned cars running the same set up but diff Ecu\'s ( apexi and HKS ) the HKS can gain an extra 40bhp or so extra ( been told this by Abbey motorsport )
The good thing about the Apexi is over ecu\'s they have the commander for real time information.
Yea thats another reason y i went for the Power fc... U get the commander...
Or maybe i have trust issues :rollin
So, If I Buy One. I Dont Need To Upgrade My Ecu?
HKS is a piggy back ecu so plugs onto your original one.
Apexi is seperate ecu
is it the HKS F-Con Pro that is the full replacement ECU then?
Nope... I have the FCon V Pro and its piggy back...
A little bird tells me these will soon be a great deal easier to sort out if you are an FD owner and live within easy reach of the south coast

If so i might be interested in buying this one but is it complete?
Thats not the Pro 1 tho...
The pro is gold...
The FCon V Pro is a nice bit of kit but it ain\'t cheap.
As said you can buy it as a piggy back by just buying the ECU and a loom adapter to use the factory sensors or if you want to get real serious it can be run as a stand alone management system.
Look to pay around £1400 for the ECU and the adapter loom and probably something in the region of £4000 fitted and mapped to run it as a stand alone like a Motec system.
This is why the Apexi is so popular because it\'s cheap and handles most applications
Hope this helps.
whats the difference in the pro (silver) and the pro 1 (gold)?
also id that a complete kit on that link i sent any opions on buying it?
^ age i beleive
ok other than age what else eg... does it use different processers does it have less bits etc etc.?
there must be a reason they changed it other than the colour looked dated!
