More tuning support for FR-S / BRZ
 

HKS sent me a new toy to play with.

The F-Con IS is a piggy-back ECU designed to work in conjunction with the OEM ECU. The benefit is stand-alone-like control while retaining all the original OEM vehicle functions. The stock calibration is never modified, the ECU signals are intercepted *after* the stock ECU allowing the tuner to manipulate them as desired. HKS (will) provide a complete jumper harness to make the installation as close to plug-n-play as possible.

I'm running tests for final cals on US 93 & 91 octane gas (they use 100 oct. in Japan). When I was in Japan in January, I was factory trained on the F-Con VPro ver 4.+ but this is my first experience with the F-Con IS. So far, I likey likey!

It's too early to talk about US retail pricing and I don't have anything to do with sales anyway. Just want to let the FR-S / BRZ community know that someone else is working for you. More details will be divulged soon. Trying to upload pic now...

for those who want to know what this is

Oh noes. Competition for Hydra it would appear.

looks like more to the unichip?

From the site:

Correct - this won't modify any paramater of the OEM calibration.

:( . All I read was stand alone "like" capability and saw the OEM like looking connectors.

It looks pretty, that's all that counts!

Me too my friend. :(

Glad to see more products in this space, as more competition is always good. Good luck with the product, @scmil95eg. Would you be willing to put that this is a piggy back in the first post, please? There's plenty of market for this product, adding a more accurate description will only help target your audience better.

Speaking of piggybacks, anyone try and AEM F/IC? I had one on a Miata and it was great.

i dont believe it can do both direct and port injection at this time.

Very good point.

Edited.
