hi all,

i've posted briefly about this before in another thread, but didn't get too much insight on it. hopefully someone can answer my questions this time around.

the 88 T2 i purchased came with an HKS F-CON installed by the po. my question is, how far can i go with this unit? i'd like to go with full 3" piping all the way from the turbo, but i know i definitely need fuel mods to support that. i know i may have to upgrade the secondaries but will the F-CON provide enough fuel at that boost level?

the F-CON is a pricey unit, so i'm assuming its pretty high quality. hopefully someone else on this forum can help me out with this.

 

Im in the same boat as you man, got a 87 t2 w/ a japanese 88t2 motor in, 3in turbo back exhaust w/ hks fcon. The key is more fuel. Need new injectors or you'll have a bad mixture, and too much fire will shoot out. There is hella boost creep in mine, you may need to get a bigger turbine, or port it. Get a boost controller. If you open the hks computer up there will be a dial. Showing numbers around it, i just kept mine at 5 to be on the safe side.
good luck man.

 

Ive been running my TII with a 3" turboback @.8 bar for the last 7 months with the stock fuel system.

Do you have a EGT gauge? If not you should buy one, it's really a good way to tune your fuel with out a wideband, or a $350 A\F gauge from greddy

 

Whats "hella boost creap"?

Mine with stock boost of 5.5 psi creaps to .8 bar with a 3" racingbeat DP and TID mod. Mad creap for me is the time my boost controler was wide open and the **** boosted to 1.4 bar in third gear by 4200 rpm

 

boost creep, your boost will go too fast and your rpm will only be at like 5.5

 

with a bigger fuel pump the f-con should be good till 12psi.

it won't control bigger injectors any better then a stock one unless you get the GCC for it.

 

i'm going to install the appropriate guages when i get the car back, ie. egt, boost, oil press, water temp.

not sure what temps to look for to tune it right...

anyone else have any experiences with the HKS F-CON?

reguarding the injectors, im sending them out to RC to get them cleaned. if i the F-CON will support it ill drop in some bigger secondaries, although not sure what size yet.

im definitely porting the wastegate until i can get the clearance for a new turbo w/ an external, and even then im not sure if the F-CON will support the system that far. id like to go with a 3" from the turbo now, so i wont have to upgrade the exhaust system again later.

so if anyone else has more experiences with the F-CON, chime in, PLEASE~!

 

You cannot run staggered fuel injectors short of getting a custom "chip" for the F-CON.&nbsp You'll need a GCC (Graphic Control Computer) to adjust for anything other than stock fuel injectors; this is like a $400 component.

My suggestion - get rid of that F-CON and buy an A'PEXi S-AFC.&nbsp It's a lot more flexible and cheaper...

yeah i was reading up on the F-CON last night and found out about that GCC...sounds like i might have to go with an S-AFC now instead of later.

 

to sum this thread up, there are TOO MANY variables to correlate boost and hp, which is why 1psi = 10 hp is a rule of thumb, a guide...something you can use to predict hp when you play with boost on the dyno

 

Huh?

wrong thread?
