im in kent, no not sanspeed as heard to many bad reports.

any 1 no if dartford tuning r any good? or is it best to stick to power engineering?

any orthers plz tell me, as i need to get it tuned for usc

 

Powers do know their stuff..............I'd go there.

 

i went to Power Engineering in Uxbridge, next time im gonna try Brooklands Horsepower(?) as i want Chris Todd to map my car again and thats where he now works.

 

fill it up with shell optimax and take a trip to jamsport mate took mine there spot on ............

 

were r they?

 

Totally agree there m8, Chris is the only one I'd let apart from APT work on my car.

Any man that drops a 1.9 series 2 lump, with a supercharger and nos into a mk1 fiesta, then convert's it to rear wheel drive is more then qualified to work on my car

Avoid Dartford tuning

 

thanks for the advise.

any contact info/web address for these places?

If you dont mind a few hours on the motorway come upto AVA in Scotland

 

I'd bypass the rolling road and get it set up properly

 

??

 

On the road

 

how do u set a car up on the road to the limiter in 5th gear

 

You don't, because you don't need to. Gears are irrelevant as you are setting up the engine, nothing to do with the gearbox. As long as you load up the engine (3rd and 4th gear are fine) you can set an engine up. The engine only cares about load, not speed.

High load and high engine speed testing is a good idea though.

 

so 3rd and 4th thats still over the speed limit then

 

Yes, or you could load the car up in second gear without exceeding the speed limit.

 

thats all i was sayin that u are riskin your licence if u do that , we tried to finish the map off on the road in mine , loaded it up in 4th and end up doin 135mph on the m1 , not good

 

Yes, I agree. Ideally, mapped or set up on the rollers then checked and adjusted on the road (or brunters) is the best way. Other than that, you have to map it rich and safe on the rollers so it doesn't run lean on the road.

 

think mine will be finish at bruters, them speeds on the road are to dangerous

 

Its not my lisence at risk as i dont drive it when being setup/mapped

 

I never understand why people like tuning cars on rolling roads when it's nothing like road conditions..
