Northcust becomes UK/EU distributor for Tuneboss ECUs \o/

Ok so I’m quite excited about this. It’s been in the works for coming up to a year now but till we reached a particular point where we were both happy, I’ve had to keep things kinda under wraps.

Several years ago, sparked off by a conversation with Legend of Legend’s Garage (who used to do a fair bit of R125 stuff), I learned about Tuneboss ECUs, which seem to be quite popular in the R125 racing community (in europe anyway).

I got in touch with Tuneboss but since the previous ECUs were a limited run there were simply none to be had.

3 years pass and then I get an email asking if I’m still interested in buying a few ECUs. At the time I was just looking to buy 2 or 3, mostly for my own usage but perhaps for a few other friends if they were interested.

Either way, we got chatting and things escalated and whilst the UK/EU market is small compared to the Asian market, they wanted to have a presence here.

How to convert PCV maps to PC3USB easily (and free)

So I just figured some stuff about how to convert Power Commander V (PCV) maps to Power commander 3 USB (PC3USB) so I’ve done a little write up of it.

You can import older PC3USB maps into the PCV, and you can import PCV maps into the PCFC, but you can’t import PCV maps into the PC3USB, and you can’t import PCFC maps into the PCV.

Except now you can…and it’s super easy to do: Read more here

How to convert PCV maps to PC3USB easily (for free)

So whilst you can import PC3USB maps to the PCV sofware no problem, and PCV/PC3USB maps into the PCFC, what happens if you want to go the other way around? You can’t import PCV maps into PC3USB, nor can you import PCFC maps into PCV.

BTW: This should work on any bike with a PCV/PC3USB (obviously only on the same bike with each type of controller though).

Why tho?

This is a situation I have currently with someone who got in touch looking for a map for their R125 with a 180cc cylinder and a 160cc/min injector.
