Hi guys just wondering where to go for a setup with my s2 rst. I know msd is only couple miles down the road from me but keep hereing mixed reviews about them. So am not to bothered about travelling aslong as i get a good! Setup.

Cheers joe

 

what kind of spec do you have? still on mfi?

Rob

 

Nothing wrong with msd m8, but there is also karl norris, jamsport, torque of the devil etc

 

id be interested to see some mixed reviews from work this year as i havent heard of any, and i would hope to be the first to know if any one wasnt happy.

Ł141 all in for a set up.

 

Not going to kiss ass. But I took my efi s2 to msd (360 round trip for me and i made it twice in a month ) and it was the best thing i did to date.

 

Eh? What was wrong with the work last year? you did my car last year

 

lol, you know what i mean! i cant belive how time flys ive been at MSD nearly a year already

hows your old girl going now?

 

Time does fly mate. Hope the jobs going well still and you're keeping busy.
Cars going well, just tinkering and improving little bits here and there now really.

 

busy aint the word mate, its fookin mental everyday

 

If it was something monster powered you were after, Id be inclined to go to karl just cause that seems to particuarly excite him with the CVH and so it seems to be something that karl particuarly specialises in these days more than most other tuners who seem to be moving on more, but Im sure that the likes of MSD are still doing enough of them to keep their hand in for doing a setup on one even if they havent made quite such silly numbers out of them as Karl!

Lot to be said for having someone local too.

 

My spec is mfi chipped, standard t3, full fmic,filter,3 inch bore exhaust. -31 actuator full scamco hoses, new cam and venier are coming soon and also a stage 2 t3.

Once got the cam in i will be needing a setup.

Will be ringing you up james soon.

 

Any competant ford tuner should be able to do that very easily.
Im sure MSD will sort that out a treat for you.

 

From what ive heard of MSD i would take it to them if they only down the road from you. Heard very good things about them

 

Sorry to hi-jack but what do tuning companies actually check when they do a set-up on an mfi rs turbo ?
I need my estate setting up but being my first turbo'd car i havnt got a clue what they check.

Cheers mark.

 

all my cars have allways been done by stu & kenny @msd and have allways been spot on.

 

Jano oddkidd, Oddkiddcreations.com very cheap and a brill chap to talk to learn somthing new everytime i talk to him. have a word he will sort you out.

 

what about smooth tourque performance?

 

On a MFI RST....
Increase boost matching fuelling at full load WOT whilst monitoring for Det, then advance timing to the point of Det and retard a couple of degrees whilst monitoring fuelling, set idle mixture

 

You missed out a few things:

Our engine tuning covers things like:

• Compression pressure test.
• Cylinder Leakage Test (subject to above results).
• Intake system pressure check to 10psi. (More if forced Induction)
• Visual cam timing check.
• Spark plug condition and suitability.
• General ignition system check for condition and suitability.
• Spark timing.
• Fuel Phasing. (Not KE)
• Fuel pressure.
• Fuel pressure vacuum pull down. (Not KE)
• Fuel pressure positive increase. (Forced induction only) (EMFPR operation on KE)
• Fuel delivery at idle.
• Fuel delivery under cruising conditions.
• Boost pressure/s.
• ECU code analysis for errors logged and present. (Not KE)
• EOBD live Data stream analysis where applicable. (Not KE)
• Fuelling under heavy load in real conditions
• Detonation Check under load in real conditions

KE Specific on top of the above:

• Throttle cable adjustment
• TPS operation in all 3 modes
• Coolant Sensor operation
• Air Sensor operation
• Aiflow potentiometer operation
• Knock Threshold sensor operation (Where fitted)
• Knock sensor operation. (Where Fitted)
• AFM base position check / adjustment

 

You may do all that Stu but I'm sure your aware that 90% of other tuners do not!
Just to note, thats a good price considering you do though!

 

Smooth torque performance are jap specalist but they are 1-2 mins from ma house n give me good rates. They have a white 600+ bhp skyline in time attack.

N i will be bringing it to you lot at msd sound like a good bunch n do good work mates have said take it to norris n some said msd.

Cheers joe

 

Cheers guys i dont like going into these things completely blind now ive got abit more of an idea what the crack is.
Ive got a couple of problems like a little tick every now and again on tick over, the idles abit high and i think the wastegates rattleing slightly when it comes on boost so a good set-up should sort all these problems out.

Cheers mark.

 

i took my s2 to msd last week for a setup. its similar spec to yours, and it drives so much smoother. id highly recommend msd, good prices and the lads seem sound. dan
