Talking Good bye Emanage Ultimate hello HKS FCON

Well the day is almost here. No more piggy back EMS for me. After all the money I have invested in my motor I decided it would be best to get a better EMS. Mark from SGP is currently in Orlando for Sebring and he will be coming down to Miami to install and tune the HKS FCON on Sunday. I have a dyno dynamics dyno reserved for Tuesday. I will post new numbers soon.

Yes I am using the EU right now. I was tuned in TX in 50 degree wheather and now in FL with 90 degrees it is running rich. If I had some ***** I would use the auto tune feature and fix my a/f because my timing is all good, but I am chicken chit. I said *** it and decided to go with the FCON. Also I want to take my car to the next level (700-800whp) some time later this year or early next year so I would need a better EMS anyway.

Good luck and can't wait to see the final result. If anyone deserves some good luck and a great running car, it's you.

I assume that is the knock amp in the silver box. Also I believe you will need the map and air temp sensors to make good use out of the FCON

You are going to be very happy with your new EMS. PM me and let me know how it runs. Your setup is very close to mine. Should be out of the shop next week.

An arm and a leg. More than $3000, but less than $4,000.....somewhere inbetween. Mark was very fair with me.

Thanks. I saw you posted that your ride will be done next week. That has to be the fastest build ever!

As far as the wife she gave up on b!tching a while ago and she talks about leaving me all the time....blah blah blah! I just buy her chit and shut her the *** up. I got her a Lexus IS, new *****, and a new purse for Christmas. Notice I can play with two out of the 3 gifts.

It's a progressive disease like drug addiction. You can never lower your dose and your tolerance keeps building so you always want more.

I was talking with Mark this evening and I could get to 750whp, by just sleeving the block, upgrading the turbos, and fuel system. I did my taxes yesterday and I am getting back my highest return ever so I am itching to spend it. The proplem is I went out on a friend's boat today and I want one, but I will need to buy a truck too. Big boy toys are too expensive.
