JamesArup Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi guys, I just wanted to check to see if anyone still maps the HKS F-Con Pro V units these days? I know they are a very good ECU, but also I know they needed some specific HKS-sanctioned software to be able to map them. It wasn't that easy to find people with this software in my area (South East), so I was wondering if this is still the case. Ryan G was the last person to do it for me over at Surrey Rolling Road, but I am not sure if he's still active? That was about 3-4 years ago, so I am pretty sure it could do with a bit of a checkup (although the car seems to be running fine when I get the chance to drive it). Either that, or I need to look for a replacement to the F-Con that's more easily mapped! Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I checked there Facebook Sam's moved to Life Racing Although he can still map your car if arranged in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I checked there Facebook Sam's moved to Life Racing Although he can still map your car if arranged in advance That explains a few things, do you know if this immediate or if it is happening in a month or so?

Mk4Gaz Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sam Borgman is still at Tdi. He has always been part of life racing, as life racing developed the syvecs ecu, and Sam was one of the guys who helped with the development of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 If finding a HKS mapper fails, you could get the Link Kurofune which plugs straight into the HKS loom. Plenty of link mappers out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krister Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I have the english version software that doesnt require the dongle if you want to map the HKS yourself or any tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Cool .. thanks guys, it's good to know that there are still options out there. I am not in the UK at the moment, but I wanted to try and organise something for my next trip back, just to make sure everything checks out. The car spends most of it's time under covers right now, so I don't want her to start rotting away TDI aren't miles away, but it's still on the opposite side of London to me, at least 2 hours I reckon. Does anyone do what Ryan used to do, and come out to you (for a fee of course) where they will map it on a local rolling road (in my case Surrey Rolling Road). Krister - that sounds interesting . I don't think I would ever want to mess around with it myself, but it would be good to have the software 'just in case' for the future! Thanks again, Cheers.

He has always been part of life racing, as life racing developed the syvecs ecu, and Sam was one of the guys who helped with the development of it Not sure where you got that info from but to my knowledge none of it is correct. Sam has never been part of Life (until now) or Syvecs, working for TDI he was a customer of both companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam told me a while ago, that he was involved with the development of syvecs, through life racing, along with a couple of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Just spoken with TDI, it looks like the rumours are true. Sam has left TDI and will be starting with Life Racing soon. Gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
