A mio parere questo e' un altro punto a favore per l'HKS, che non presenta questo problema di "intasamento" nel tempo con lo sputacchio dal motore.
Ed ora le ultime novita', direi succose... questa risposta potrebbe aprire interessanti dibattiti.... Se sto spammando troppa roba in inglese ditemelo, ma questa sera non ho voglia di tradurre tutto...
Hi Alex, at this point in time tuning for the supercharger has been managed by a HKS F-Con IS PCM (piggyback). This has been on the car since we embarked on the NC performance project nearly two years ago. Unlike your experience we have not had any conflicts between the factory PCM and the F-Con IS. Anyway, the point is that in Australia aftermarket reflashing of NC's is not a widely accepted method as there is no local company(s) supporting this sort of technology. I personally have had a rather negative experience with using reflash software on RX-8's (Protuner - also sold in the US) which the NC's PCM protocol is based on. This product was not supported very well and yielded mediocre performance when compared back to back with the HKS F-Con IS unit. I'm by no means saying that reflash software is terrible and should not be used, I'm just saying that at this point in time we have been unable to match or exceed the performance that the HKS unit yielded. I'm hoping that in time this will change to give customers plenty of options for managing the fueling and spark requirements necessary with our supercharger kit. For example I have two customers who have done 2.5 litre conversions, one customer swears by the Motoeast remap software, the other uses the HKS F-Con IS. Mechanically they are identical, yet the F-Con controlled car generated 20 rwhp more! I'm sure with more dyno time and experience this gap will be closed; but dyno hour for dyno hour, the HKS unit yielded a better result. I'm not sure what piggyback's have had conflicts with the standard PCM...all I can say is that we have had no issues whatsoever. I had a brief discussion with Dynotronics on this issue late last year and they could not explain why the F-Con was 'not' in conflict with the standard PCM. What I do know is that when it comes to HKS products on Japanese cars they are second to none. Anyhow, at this stage the kits will be supplied without a PCM or reflash, however the HKS F-Con IS with our map can be purchased separately. We are hoping that in the US the likes of MotoEast and Dynotronics will be able to spend the time to develop a map so that they can sell more of and support their product well.
