go the Fcon, as a Stand alone it will be a much better ECU if tuned right, and as you say you have the goods.

I can guarantee a few people here will be HIGHLY interested in the results of an FCON.

good work hooking that up.

this is guna be a projec and a half , well i got some good info time to start playn around

ill start with the ecu and go from there as any mod after can be done with tune

yeh i've also heard your going to scott for some fabrication work. good decision lol

ye i like his idea of a turbo set up good researchn on his behalf

im also after a dump pipe and front pipe with sports cat to suit a kaki n1

and for now hopfully ill get a copy of his manifold adapter to use while i look at getn a full custom manifold

S t High tech

quoted a full stand alone ecu hks f con pro and install for 4 gs

what you guys recon go for it or na go emanage piggy back

S t high tech Soichi is well know tuner for nissans used to work for nissan japan before comn to nz

he recomends the hks and recomends satnd alone when upgrading turbo

also hes like a farts distance away from me 30 sec drive

( drool appeares at corner of mouth )

I can buy an Fcon for $1800 in Japan, it will come with a plug in harness and all required sensors, is he charging you 2 grand to plug in a loom and tune it with the help of preset maps? Sounds way too expensive when you compare the results im getting with a $600 unit.

The HKS unit is still a piggyback unit but YOU cant use the software, unlike the Emanage. It has greater tuning resolution which you realistically wont notice and a few extra adjustments apparently, but wont adjust cam timing or throttle as I understand it. I agree it is probably the better unit but at 4 times the installed cost it would want to be...

I wouldn't bother with the manifold as we are restricted in turbo size anyway due to the factory placement, im pretty sure the stock manifolds will flow 350kw which is around what a GT30 will ever flow.

Check out the HKS 350z kit, they used our stock manifolds by the looks of it, meaning it wasn't worth fabricating. I could make one but engine out job means it probably isnt worth having the car off the road for another week.

he is talking about using the full hks stand alone ecu not the piggy back

price was for harness and install

also he is well know for tuning skylines and is very competent with the hks plus being around the corner kinda makes it all like the way to go

Edited by Sidius

and I thought I was spending lots of $$$ on my car...:whistling:

well all i know was that he said for the nm35 with the turbo that i bought and mods i want go full hks stand alone with install

gather that hell work it out

dont the stageas like getn a new ecu ?

I agree, HKS is a good option, but at that price I would feel ripped. Is he saying an Emanage Ultimate cant do 300kw? lol.

he just said he prefers hks has used it for so long and has used it on so many skylines

also being ex japan nissan tech he said he prefers using them with the nissans

http://sthitec.co.nz/

check out his diary, about us and cars hes done

Seriously dude, doesn't mean shit unless he's worked on an NM35 or VQ25DET before...

so far he's shown that he doesn't know the FCON V Pro for the VQ25DET is going to be a piggyback setup.

Not sure if that's a good start. I mean everyone's gotta start learning somewhere...you can do ECU swaps but you'd need to import them from Japan. Nismo/GZONE/Impul...

You can pick up late model fcons off this forum.. for 500ish.. buy the loom for 400ish from japan and vola!

and you better hurry.. as m35 shit for fcon is going to be discontinued...

p.s. sometimes people think fcon vpro is standalone in some cases... but in a few it isnt.. m35 is one of them as is gtr.. simple mistake..

Saw one go for $500 but that was AGES ago. They're bloody rare...same thing on firesport...

    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
