morning all,

just wanted to know whether nms still worked on new customers rst's and same for jamsport (as they appear very st/ cossie focussed-jamsport)


not had a chance to ring them yet but would be nice to know beforehand.

Cheers

i know jamsport are still doing them as they were going to do mine before i broke it and they are top guys.... they did toms s1 and makes 292bhp @16psi on gt28
and stu collins car @22psi was making 333bhp at the wheels lol

im sure nms are still doing them but just new developements .... on ollies car....

Gt28 a good turbo then? Good results

StephenC

In all honesty I think Karl (NMS) prefers the old rs turbo to be on good management, i.e cossie or aftermarket as the old mfi shit is getting so unreliable they spend longer pissing about with that than setting the cars up. Not gospel by any stretch but you can see their/his point. Both great outfits though i.e. jamsport or NMS and wouldnt hesitate to take mine to either, although I do prefer NMS. The tuners may appear focus / cossie orientated as thats where the money is I guess. But they both know how to knock out some serious RST engines. On paper Id go so far as to say they make the best out there.

they are the best at making the quickest cvh's with ease ....

and above the gt28 is custom specced to the car with an over the gearbox manifold and yes its a bloody good spec as its as punchy as a stage 2 t3 but specced to run 350bhp

I wouldn't recommend Jamsport speaking from past experience

stuartrsturbo

iTrader: (1)

Why?

rst cabbie

jamsport have done me well in the past would be nice if jamie smiled tho

phil_rs

iTrader: (3)

I just wasn't happy with a setup that was carried out on my ERST. I'm not slagging them off as I know a lot of people who are happy with them but I'm one of the minority that wasn't. I even got charged extra as they had to set the boost on my actuator even though I would have thought this would be part of a setup?

phil_rs

iTrader: (3)

It wasn't Jamie who did my setup, think that was part of the problem

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Seems to be the case where ever you go, however i've only heard positives with nms (despite being alil pricey)

phil_rs

iTrader: (3)

Jano is very reasonable, apparantly

jamie rst

iTrader: (1)

NMS are good a few of my mate have been to them and all says good thing and they are only about 10-15mins drive for me,but i have spoken a few times but something did not feel right thats why i drive down to see jano which is 320 mile round trip but well worth it and as already said very reasonable

Rob_DOHC

iTrader: (4)

I know this will start another argument...

But i found TOTD to be spot on, loads of runs, spot on fueling adjusted actuator, replaced loads of clips and stuff for free etcetc, ended up with a really reliable nice driving car, all for Ł95.

Im sure Jamsport are great, NMS are legendary, MSD are well known and Jano seems to have loads of customers who swear by him.... so any of the above and you cant really go wrong.

Rob,

ive had 2 bad experiences from the tuner at totd so its swings and roundabouts...

darrenb16two

Cant comment on the other tuners mentioned as ive had no need to use them since i went to oddkidd creations. Im sure there all good but at least when you go to janos you know that you wont ever be overcharged & it will only ever jano working on your car

Give a few different places a call and have a chat see who you get on with the best. a lot of the time certain tuners will be better with certain management setups.

If you want GREAT value for money, only one person to work on your car and a Beast of a set up Janos your man. www.oddkiddcreations.co.uk even just browsing the site you will see how clued up he is.

I remember when i first got my rst i didn't have a bloody clue, after meeting muz he told me to go see jano and The thing that has made me stick with jano is that he wouldn't do ANY work on my car without explaining and showing me what he was doing and why i was spending my money on the setup. This really appealed to me Don't think i would go anywhere els.

essexRSTSouthend

Im hoping to go to jano next year! Really nice fella

jessie_rs

ive had a bad experience with jamsport to i would only go to Motorsport developments they did a huge amount of work on my car with a small bill constantly on the phone updating me and are genuine nice guys its near 500mile round trip but ill be making it again soon

do not confuse expensive with thorough,, Karl is quite insistant that everything is done correctly

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

wish Jano wasnt so far away from me, would be taking my cars to him.

AVA are my favoured tuners in my area

Jamsport wouldn't even let me in the workshop for 'insurance' purposes! When a friend of mine went for a setup on his rst they didn't charge him extra to set the actuator and they let him in the workshop

xrmalin

Jamsport were fine with me and my mate when i took mine over for the set-up they let us both wander round the workshop and talked us through the projects they had in at the time

used jano a few years back and used him eversince wouldn't go anywhere else now. Top bloke ! gives endless advice over the phone, very well priced and very good knowledge

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

Which is exactly what I like, I rather someone gets the jobs done than simply rush the car in and straight back out or keep the car forever and not do anything and if they see bodges they inform and inform to correct.

conor.rst

iTrader: (3)

There is always going to be good and bad reviews of company's.

You need to find a tuner individual to you who you get on with, most people can only speak highly of jano so i would always choose him.

Just to say as well that one of the best things about having jano tune your car is all of the support you get from other members. EVERY single of of his members that i have met have been top class and are always willing to help you out.

ROB7656

As your in essex got to be okc top set up/service!

how much jano charge? and is it a rolling road kinda setup?

creator

Jano is certainly a top bloke and he does the work he does for the love of what he does not to rip people of and make money.to me and im sure the other ock lads jano is more of a mate than anything else and just like conor says he explains and shows you everything he does.when i had my fiesta mapped i was there for around 6 hours and after loads of checks and setting stuff up in the yard its on the road for a live map then back to the yard a few times for different adjustment ect then back mapping.i was charged around Ł200 for all his hard work and i had some stuff off him aswell witch he included in the price and when i drove the 180miles home is was a complete diferent car

conor.rst

iTrader: (3)

No its not a rolling road, its a live map on the road. Im sure he can sort a rolling road sesh out tho.

TRY before you buy, get on his site you will soon see who people go to him.

iTrader: (1)

Sorry I meant an mfi setup as the cars been sat for the last 6months and not had a setup for the last 2 years. I don't think he would live map that on the road?

BRAM

iTrader: (1)

i didnt think jano did live mapping i thought he just sold chips then set the fuel and boost

dave_s2_rst

iTrader: (2)

for mfi he will check timing etc, take it on road check boost and check for det, come back and tweek.

Being mfi its static tuning if that makes sense

conor.rst

iTrader: (3)

Also checking for DET thats the main one lol

chrism_rst

I had my rst rebuilt and setup at Jamsport. They were really helpfull and i am more than happy with the car.

Herbo747

i have all my work carried out at jamsport, jamies a top bloke, always willing to help and will always offer advise, i find there prices realistic. they are always absolutely flat out and this is a good sign as loads of people must respect them. they always seem willing to take me car in and work on it when they get chance though which is great, wouldn't use anybody else!

craig rst kid

can't fault jamsport to be fair

JONO_RST

I need to get mine set up when i've fitted it, but is there only Motorsport Developments in the North West that still work on rs turbo's or have they even changed to working on more modern cars now?

Cheers Jono.
