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...
