Jellybean Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I asked about this a couple of years ago, but things move on ; a tuner in the UK said they can remote map off the logs / internet connection with the AEM Infinity Does Syvecs offer the same service , I also asked Fraser Mac Kellar too. It is $$ for me to get the car to the UK and back, I cannot afford to take time off work ; multiple people have issues with the local guy plus their solvency is under review ; I would rather not have money tied up in them My car is BPU JDM 6 speed with 264 cams so a base map should be 80% there if not more Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 People are always talking of remote mapping with Syvecs so i assume it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I asked , you needed a dyno setup prior to remote tweaks , means i would need to bring the car to the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Last time I asked , you needed a dyno setup prior to remote tweaks , means i would need to bring the car to the UK Of course, the first map would always need a proper setting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If you need the car to be drivable, I can probably create a good base map for you via remote mapping. Should be good enough to get you to the dyno for the full map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Of course, the first map would always need a proper setting up. AEM infinity Tuner said they can do it remotely , I know Cody Philips does plus whoever MVP use too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Remote mapping can work, I wouldn't entertain it unless there was a very good / stable internet connection available. Mapper and dyno operator would also need to be on call together so runs can be aborted etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yes Syvecs its absolutely remote mappable. Ryan was going to do it for me but I got Romain to do it instead as I thought it would be easier for the mapper to be with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan was going to do it for me but I got Romain to do it instead as I thought it would be easier for the mapper to be with the car. I got mine running with a Basemap from Lee, did the initial configuration and assignments myself. Then had Ryan remotely tweak it on my driveway, to get it running well enough for me to drive it safely to the dyno. Ryan then remotely mapped it from Dubai. However, they do then need a certain amount of tweaking when driving on the road afterwards, this was done by Ash at SRD. Never underestimate the importance of this stage. It's that final 10% that makes all the difference to how nice the car is to drive. I'd be looking into renting a DYNO and flying someone over to you for 1-2 days to get it right.

ashloys Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Why don't you just use TDP.ie or Richard Bradley? Both very reputable, proven and very familiar with 2JZ's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends standard skyline back down in TDP every time he turns the key , fuel consumption through the roof, idle issues since the ecu was installed and every excuse from the Alarm to a fuse in the radio, my other good friend with the t04z , disaster; car has never run right since they touched it, I have other friends burnt with being charged for new parts and having there old parts sandblasted , pawned off as new They have downsized plus questions about how financial solvent they are , owes my friend 6k for a motec he paid for but has not seen it in 5 years I rang TDP to discuss a link but they could not give me a straight answer on ecu just spouting lamda numbers at me , they did not seem to know differences between the models , trying to get a price was like pulling teeth Still waiting for a reply on what my options are , unfortunately I have to come on here and link forum to deceiver the models so I can get answers to what they should be telling me, I wouldn't have confidence in them I am more annoyed or frustrated at companies down south who lend themselfs as experts in the field and have a price point to match but when they cannot deliver they kick the can down the road with every excuse, yet still deem it is acceptable to charge a premium price for their expertise and hand you back your item just as broke; with the attitude it will be grand Alot of cowboys here and they are all the same drift circle U.K. Is the only place to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks , could you map it off the logs as opposed a dyno ? The mappers in regards say they need an Internet connection but what does that mean? I presume I need a Windows pc, appropriate software installed, hook up to the ecu , does the mapper Remote Desktop into my pc or over Skype direct me to do X Y Z ?

I personally don't know anyone who's had a car mapped by them, I've just heard they're good. Although I have had MANY friends had cars mapped by Richard Bradley and never any problems, at all. Also he maps the majority of cars in the IDC as well. I know if I get a car mapped it'll be taken to him, no question about it. Niall Power is getting his LINK G4+ Extreme mapped by Richard soon so have a word with him and see Just out of curiosity who do Marty/colin use?

Marty and Colin use Dimitri from Greece but it is $$$ to fly him over for on person Richard, personally I would have reservations using him as he is associated with drifting ; their are alot of bad apples in the drift circle, taking money and not delivering , disappearing into the wind I would rather pay the extra to go the UK to use reputable mappers like Fraser Mac Kellar, Dave Rowe , Ryan/Romain ; I was hoping to avail of their services via remote session to keep costs down , you would imagine a base map on a 2jz now should be 85% there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 100% and his business is built on reputation. That's just like saying oh I wouldn't use RyanG, I heard someone he mapped a supra for was arrested for stealing cars a while back. Unjustified tbh. And if anything, the majority of people the drift scene are the best people out there helping each other in ways no one else would. The sportsmanship in the IDC now is incredible, people even fixing other competitors cars for them to get another battle, when they could have easily taken a free win etc. Yes there are bad people involved with drifting, a very small minority, but then again you'll find that in any circle.

Jellybean Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Have you contacted Ryan or Romain regarding this? Not yet, was just talking to Lee on price to go over, getting her dynoed here Saturday to check AFR, detonation etc I did not realise remote mapping had come on so far , one of the AEM tuners posted last nite a remote map they did, weighing up my options , on pricing ; I would like AEM or Syvecs due to vol of 2jz's running them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like you have already made up your mind and really are just asking all these questions so that someone will confirm your choice.

Anyways, back on topic.. Nothing against Richard or anybody, I even tried to engage with TDP against my better judgement; I wanted to have a conversation with Robbie , who I got on the phone I dont know! I am trying my best to use somebody local, I dont want to go the UK when I could have a mapper 30mins down the road. I am sure Richard is good at what he does. I have and close firends had bad experiences with reputable mechanics who key market for promoting their ability is drifting, as you say they are all associated with each other but unfortunately as good as Richard or other mechanics maybe; based on my experience and perception of these "Drift" garages; I am not willing to loose thousands again on a hope and a prayer they will deliver on what they are paid to do. Other than forum feedback , I have no personal experience of Richard or any close friends who used him; I have to based my decision off the experience I had within his Motorsport circle.

That's fair enough, but I'd speak to people who have actually used him before you make a judgement. I could tell you things about people who have worked on your car which would put you off for life too! The only downside about Richard is that things usually aren't done quickly, as he is just so busy. Any time you're at his house theres no room to move. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
