ello everyone gonna get some cams for my s2 rs and have been to power engineering and engine advantages and had set ups and an acturator at ea and had no probs but everyone steers me away from them, who would you recommend

 

Had my car chipped by paul hills and would so he is very good but on engine building i am not to sure but he did build looney's escort cossie and he has just recently build my mate feista Rs which is quite quick only thing i would say i found that paul at ea can be abit pricey!

Never heard anything bad about EA to be honest. My man Rob at SCC Performance is excellent but may be a bit too far out for you.

grove garage its like round the corner for us tel

 

NMS in Alfreton

my car is still running an old Power Engineering cam no longer available, which have been very pleased with

but when it eventually wears out, will be having one specced by Karl at NMS

 

never had a bad word to say about paul hills inc his engine building.

my old CGI engine was built there, which later found its way into Aarons black series one, and the engine was top draw

also allways taken my car there for mapping etc and allways gives top service and advice

 

yeh jam-sport are very good, you cant go wrong always take my car there top guys

 

Interpro Automotive in Bristol been using them for years now,top guys!!

 

chris todd at brooklands horsepower surrey

 

i had a cam vernier pully and cam belt fitted at ea i only done 150 miles and the cam belt slipped sure it was a one off but think i will go scc or jamsport next time

 

herd good and bad things about ea
telhonda1 had his fule set up there and when to jamsport they said it was running rely lean????????

 

I personaly took mine to Stu and the boys at Motorsport Developments in Blackpool. Top guys and Stu rights the tech articles in Fast ord so knows his onions It was nearly 150 mile each way i think, you have to be prepared to travel to go to good tuners

 

an power engineering cam is an kent 34

 

give mark a bell at grove garage mate. just been down to pick my s2 up and it's like it's a different car now. he's a really nice bloke who doesn't charge the earth and does a top job.

 

When my engine is done im going to Harvey Gibbs (scs) in Peterborough, a couple of lads in my local group have had work done there & set ups with good results.

 

i was told it was a copy of the piper 285t, the guy that designed it for power engineering used to work for piper & he had the copyright or something like that

 

Using PJ Motorsport for mine. Never heard a bad word about him.

 

Iian @ Power Engineering or Chris Todd @ Brooklands

with them no bullshit to you at all and very sound fellas

 

paul @ pj motorsport is a bit of a rip off tbh his more in to cosworth than rs turbos, his wants to make big bucks with cosworth, evos etc, i used to go their. they not really in to rs turbos.

 

I'm not actually having much done. Just had my ECU chipped. Once I get my new rad in, I'm taking it for a set-up on his dyno pack. Charging £110 + VAT. I thought its not too bad. Would love to get it done @ MSD, but South Brum to Blackpool and back is a lot of fuel, and a fair bit out of my 5k mileage allowance.

You not rate him then? I'm sure he will do a good job setting it up on the rollers.

Anyone else to recommend round my way? (Bearing in miond my car must be driven off boost to a tuner, until it is mapped.)

 

jamsport in northampton http://www.jam-sport.co.uk/

nms in derby http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/index2.html

both great at what they do

 

that's what i was told when i tried to get a new one and you could only get the Piper 285t2 which is not the same

 

That is right, it is/ was along the lines of a Pooper Cam

 

Only tuning companys I have experience of are Turbosystems.. Tony is a really nice fella who never actually tried to sell me anything. He provided me with good sound advice, I had an engine and box for my turbo built after discussing the type of roads I drive on and traffic etc... the engine is strong and still in one peice today as is the gearbox after a good few years of abuse.... I would most certainly reccomend Turbosystems to anyone in that area of willing to travel.
I live just up the road from Power Engineering and as such used them first of all simply because they were very close... however the information I obtained from there was poor and the products provided were not suitable for my requirements even though it was clear from the start that I required guidence at that time..... my experiences were not positive in any way. To the point if my car broke down outside the workshop I would call the AA
oddkiddcreations are going to be doing some bits to my car shortly and Jano seems to be very helpfull and have great knowledge in this area, if your interested in management hes well worth talking to about your needs

 

RIGHT SOME INFO

the fella that original asked the qusetions has now got a skyline

heres how the RST's story went

he went to oddkidd ceations for original set up to get it running

then for proper power run and set up power enginering

then to engine advantages for more boost they fitted a -31 it made 180 @ 14psi only had k 'n' n and exhaust, on standard cooler

then to jam sport with a new intercooler and new clutch it made 201bhp with just 16psi and a custom front mount from auto specialists(yep the chrome polple)

then the air flow meter died and it went back to oddkidd creations and sold to his mate

its got one strong engine and no ones knows the internal spec not even tel cos he got in from a dealers
