Is it worth upgrading from the previous V-pro?

"HKS USA, Inc. releases the newest version of its engine management system, the F-CON V Pro version 3.3. The new F-CON V Pro hardware and Power Writer software have been upgraded to offer improved functionality and features over the previous generations.

The HKS F-CON V Pro is a full featured standalone engine management system that connects easily to the factory Engine Control Unit as a "piggy-back" fuel and timing controller. As modifications to a vehicle are made, the need for fuel and timing adjustments becomes critical for performance and safety. With up to 4 selectable trim maps for different fuel octane ratings, the F-CON V Pro with its 32x32 resolution for both fuel and timing maps is the optimal solution.

The F-CON V Pro can control up to eight injectors with D Jetro or L Jetro setups. Injectors can be set to fire as batch, sequential or staged. The F-CON V Pro can also be utilized in “drive by wire” vehicles. Programming is done via the HKS Power Writer software; which only Certified HKS Pro Dealers have access to.

The HKS Power Writer software for the F-CON V Pro has some very unique abilities to simplify setup and tuning. The F-CON V Pro utilizes A/F Feedback control; where a target A/F value can be input and the F-CON V Pro will adjust fuel automatically.

Full data logging capabilities are also built into the F-CON V Pro Power Writer software allowing all major vehicle conditions; speed, rpm, water temperature, intake temperature, timing, boost, injector duty cycle, etc. to be logged onto the HKS Pro Dealer’s computer.

New functions and features of the F-CON V Pro 3.3 include:

• Expanded vehicle applications including Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution X
• Air flow input voltage monitoring
• Direct inputs for: Fuel pressure, Oil pressure and Oil temperature
• Compatibility with the HKS A/F Knock Amp 2 (AFK)
• Deceleration fuel cut by vehicle speed, improving low speed drivability
• Flat shift (wide open throttle) rpm control
• Pit lane speed limiter
• Compatibility with HKS Valcon
• Improved Idle Control Valve control
• Error code reporting and memory function
• Oil Pressure, oil temp warning light option output
• RPM, ignition cut, and data logging warning/indicator light output


The HKS F-CON V Pro and tuning is only available exclusively through select Authorized Pro Dealers.
*The F-CON V Pro version 3.3 is currently NOT compatible with the HKS F-CON Navigator and Navigator Pro. "

No harnesses for the HR.

We installed our first one on Friday. The improvements are incremental. Many of which may not effect most users. I don't think I recommend upgrading, because the core of the system is identical. There are a few features I really like, such as the speed sensitive decel fuel cut that smooths out parking lot manuevers in low gears, and light throttle pressures, and the pit lane speed limiter.

But the older Vpro has been discontinued, so all future Vpro installs will be of the 3.30 variety. There is also new software, and enription key procedure, to the older versions of the key and software, will not work on the V3.30. The V3.30 software does not work with older versions either, so we need to keep both versions of software on our laptops.

This revision also keep delinquent Vpro tuners (non-authorized tuners....that still held onto their USB key) from tuning the new systems.

 

So does the HKS Valcon work with 3.24 or only 3.3?
