HKS
F Con S
1.
What is the HKS F Con S?
It
is a fuel and ignition computer which allows a person to change the
original amount of fuel to be sprayed into the engine and when the spark
is timed to allow the optimum burning of the fuel.
2.
Why do you need a HKS F Con S?
It gives the person
the flexibility to fine-tune their fuel and ignition for optimum performance
for different stages of upgrades/tune. It can also be used to fine-tune
a standard car without any modifications done to it up until a moderately
to highly tuned car.
It is very rarely
that the fuel and ignition is optimized for each car for every weather
or climatic condition for different parts of the world.
The end result of
a custom fuel and ignition map for ones car is that the cars will produce
more power, response/acceleration, the engine will be smoother, less
coarse or strained and allow for better fuel economy.
For moderately tuned
to highly tuned cars, the F Con S provides the tuner with very precise
fuel and ignition control which in turn allows the tuner to fully utilize
the engine upgrades that they have installed.
3. What
cars can the F Con S be used for?
The F Con S was
primarily designed for Japanese sports cars but it can be incorporated
into most of the Japanese cars.
4. How is
the F Con S incorporated into the car?
The F Con S runs
in series with the original Engine Control Unit of the car. A wire harness
is used to link the F Con S with the car’s original Engine Control
Unit. The F Con S can be easily bypassed to troubleshooting engine related
problem by just removing the F Con S wire harness link and connecting
back the original wiring to the Engine Control Unit.
5. Can I
remove the F Con S and use it for another car?
Yes, in most cases
you are able to use the F Con S for another car as long as there are
no compatibility problems between the new car’s Engine Control
Unit and the F Con S.
6. Will
the customers be able to tune the F Con S?
No, as the software
is not released to the general public except for HKS authorized shops
who are trained in the special setting procedures
and have access to a chasis dynamometer and many other support equipment
.
HKS
F Con V Pro
1.
What is the HKS F Con V Pro?
It
is a fuel and ignition controller just like the F
Con S.
2.
What is the difference between the F Con S and the F Con V Pro?
The
F Con V Pro has the ability to control the fuel and ignition more precisely
than the F Con S as the F Con V Pro has “Higher Resolution”
just like comparing the picture resolution of a Video Compact Disc (VCD)
versus a Digital Video Disc (DVD).
3. Then why don’t I just buy the
F Con V Pro?
Generally you do
not really need that type of resolution on a standard or moderately
tuned car as the resolution of the F Con S will suffice in most conditions.
But you need that
type of resolution for a highly tuned to extremely highly tuned car.
For reasons being that by tuning or upgrading the car extensively, it
makes the car difficult to drive on the street and for everyday commute.
Therefore you need the precision of the
F Con V Pro to give you back the ease of driving of an extensively modified
car.
Another reason for
using the F Con V Pro is that it allows the car’s original Air
Flow Sensor to be removed, therefore providing less restriction of air
into the engine thus allowing the tuner to make more power. If the air
flow sensor is removed without the F Con V Pro the engine will not function
properly as the original computer will not know the amount of air entering
the engine thus not being able to calculate the right amount of fuel
to be injected. This may cause the Engine Check Light ( Engine trouble
code) to appear making 2the car undriveable. Therefore with the F Con
V Pro it allows the car to run without the original air flow sensor
and yet not show an Engine Check Light (Engine trouble code). It must
be noted that this function is only a available on the F Con V Pro,
the F Con S does not have this feature. There are many other features
that are also available on the F Con V Pro that the F Con S does not
provide. Another feature is the ability of the V Pro to change the RPM
Redline of the car, allowing the tuner to change the RPM redline up
or down any RPM that they wish.
HKS Hiper Dampers
1. What
is HKS Hiper Dampers?
Hiper Dampers are
upgraded shock absorbers for your car.
2. Why do
I need Hiper Dampers?
The reason is that
by only upgrading the engine to make more power you will also need to
upgrade the shock absorbers as well. It is a very important aspect of
car safety as the shock absorbers and the springs are the link that
allows you to control the power, put the power to the ground, tremendously
improve the cars handling around corners as well as in a straight line
and to provide shorter braking distances. Hiper Dampers are able to
control the tire to ground contact effectively and efficiently, thus
always allowing you the maximum amount of traction or acceleration,
cornering and braking. The Hiper Dampers are also designed in such a
way that it provides very favorable compression and rebound characteristics
such that you are able to tune the suspension to provide maximum traction
without the too much loss in overall comfort.
