thanks for the warm welcome. I'm in Korea btw

One question!
My car has the HKS F-Con S piggyback tuned by an HKS tuner. I'm wondering if this ECU is good enough for 300-350 hp? The tuner said he tuned it conservatively but how am I going to trust him? I know standalones are far better and i'm planning on upgrading later, but is a piggy good enough for now?

Nice 2. Where are you at in Korea? I lived in Kunsan for a year and Songton village for a year.
Military?
Any tuners over there?

welcome to the board, very nice car. be sure to take good care of it.

austinaltezza · 05-10-2006, 12:40 AM

thanks for the replies. I'm not in the military, just a Korean-American living in Seoul.

I couln't believe my eyes when I saw actual tuners working on JDM and KDM (lol) cars. Those Korean cars are pretty sick. 400+hp drag hyundai Accents that runs 10's, twin turbo'd V6 korean cars, DSM swaped Hyundais etc. They have underground drag races too. Some of these guys brought out ferrari's, AMG benz's, porsche's at the races haha

Anyway does anyone have an answer to my question above about piggy backs?
