what defferences are you expecting in FC-20???
We don't know the specs of this plane but the different between FC-20 and the regular J-10 would be in better Radar, Navigation system and weapons.
Additionally, the engine is like to change as well. There might be other things too but we do not know about it yet.
the FC 20 is going to be an aircraft tailor made for PAF! it will suit our maintainance facilities and will be compaitable with most of westren system. the actual specs are not known as yet but i expect it to have better radar and may even a slightly improved engine. there is no doubt that the J10 in itself is a great plane and PAF wont be seeking much upgrades into the FC20 and rather then upgrades there will be odifications to suit our requirments, this most importantly means compatibility with westren systems!
regards!
do we know if the fc20 will have tvc for a fact or not

We can't be 100% sure until we actually see it with TVC, decisions are changed all the time.
All we know right now is that Air Chief Marshal Tanvir M. Ahmad told a newspaper that FC-20 would have "Russian TVC technology".
We also know the Chinese are making a 3D TVC nozzle for their engines:

Ok what else then?if everything is ok with russian engine then we may be getting the TVC! i say this because the chines TVC will still not be mature by the time we start getting the FC20 and therefore it is more likely to happen if the russian can give it to us!
as a first thought it may come to many mindes that rusians wont have any problem in supplying us with engines as they have already done so for the JF17 engine despite all the efforts of india! but, on the other hand we may face a different scenario! with a tender and deal of 126 MRCA on the cards and Mig35 as contender the russians might not be willing to upset the indians and indians on the other hand may keep on delaying the project just to spoil any Pak-China-Russia relations/deal!

What a miracle that Pakistani FC20 will be delivered in 2014-2015...
But which other engine than the AL 31 (between 120 - 130 Kn thrust), or an Chinese would be usefull?to me it looks like other engine than Russian one perhaps that's the main reason to me
