F-con V Pro Calibration File

even if you do get the software, they have a special dongle that you also need.....

farking hks are gay, if i buy an ecu i expect to be able to tune it myself with relative ease..... oh well!!

[kwazza11]

yep, not real happy either. apparently BD4's dont even have the version 2.1 tuning software either so all i've really got here is a big worthless paperweight.

crd is the place to go

i have ver 3.2 and they have soft ware to do it

cheers

they tuned mine fine and i have a Fcon V pro..

is there a way of knowing version????????????

[kwazza11]

should be a sticker on the side of the ecu itself, mines also a silver case where the version 3's case is gold i think.

god knows why they would have software that is incompatible with previous versions though.

[silver gts-t]

yeh. mines gold

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

gold = version 3, however there are a few different version (3.0, 3.1, 3.2)

silver = version 2

[NIZ-26T]

gold cover with red sticker is 3.2

cheers

[TomR33]

gold version with blue sticker is 3.1

[silver gts-t]

[paulr33]

off topic how much are they stinging you for a complete tune?

if you dont mind me asking

[silver gts-t]

i got charged $1250

but this was for..

installation of fcon

install and supply MAP sensor

install and supply Air temp sensor

and 5.5 hours tuning

[silver gts-t]

at bd4's

tom was great

[paulr33]

jeepus! obviously charing you a premium cos you cant go elsewhere to get it tuned. do you think its worth having the fcon over other popular ecu's, given this massive penalty you are paying to have it tuned?

not having a go, just curious

[silver gts-t]

not that expensive...

i got the map sensor and air temp sensor a lil above cost

map over $300, air temp over $100

and they had to install them..

car was there from 9am- 6pm

$1250 is nothing!!

tuning cost $220 for 1st hour and $150 after that

i dont agree with the 220 first hour..

at the end of the day tom said he put more effort into it and it took much longer, so he only charged me for 4hours tuning..

[paulr33]

sorry misread, didnt read they supplied the sensors

thought it was just install of sensors. all good

[silver gts-t]

just to note, i gave the car to tom running like crap!!

and the end of the day it was smoother stronger and he had fixed all my probs!

he also said if the car has any probs caused by his tune he'll fix it for free!

hasn't skipped a beat since..

all i was going to back for is to tune it at a higher boost with ebc

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

price over phone from bd4's for tuning (SR20det w/ aftermarket turbo, full tune from scratch) was $600

this is very reasonable, from memory, price quoted from ICE performance (in melbourne) for install and tune of power fc was around $1k mark for sr20det with aftermarket turbo...

(install of power fc and z32afm takes 30 minutes or so, so most of that price would be tune, not to mention powerfc's would take less time to tune since they have a smaller map size!!)

If i was in sydney, i'd happily use bd4's the guy i spoke to on the phone when i enquired about the fcon's was very helpful! pity i don't live in sydney though...

[TomR33]

What's the reason for installing the air temp sensor? Can't the stock be reused? Just curious, not having a go.

If anyone has any HKS V Pro files but doesn't know what they are, the file extensions identifies ECU version:

*.FP5 - version 3.1

*.F55 - version 3

*.FCP - version 2
