HKS FCD or RACING BEAT FCD
 
I have a 87 TII and I want to get a fcd. But my question is which one is better. HKS FCD or Racing Beat FCD. Thanks for the help. :bigthumb:

What do you have for mods?

87 FC3S 09-11-05 04:27 PM

Well right now only a exshaut system, and blow off value. But I will be adding a apexi avc-r and intake soon. And later on upgrade my turbo.

tIIsleeper 09-11-05 04:39 PM

Whichever is cheaper.

I scored a Knight Sports FCD for 40 bucks. Just look around...

87 FC3S 09-11-05 06:24 PM

Thats right, I forgot about that.Thanks

just build your own. Its like $15 and you get a superior unit. theres directions all over the forums and net. "Paul Stoaks FCD"

i would highly recommend you not build it yourself. The paul stoaks design is itself flawed and requires tweaking. Unless you're like an ee major, I'd recommend you just buy one.

For me, I found one for sale about the same price that it would cost to buy all the parts, so the choice was obvious, even though I am an ee major.

Yea I still prefer to buy one.

I found a Knightsports FCD on eBay for $60 shipped from Japan. Look into a used one if you need one, or make your own with fc3s.org specs.

whats flawed about it. I was an EE for 2 years, the circuit works fine, it clamps properly and in a more accurate fashion than the racing beat or greddy etc, and parts were all of $15 and a bit of time to solder the connections. I have been running it for 3 years with zero problems.
