want to get my rs escort s2 tuned. looking at either TORQUE OF THE DEVIL but they are so expensive £90per hour. or a place in basildon caleed REDLINE TUNING which my cousin recommeded wich is £40per hour. eny where else. because i know their aint alot of people around now who are shit hot on the rst's

MAD EVO 4

Are TOTD really £90 per hr ????

I would be amazedif they were mate

ricky_2006

yeh i had power run not long ago and asked them. it also says it on leaflet they gave me

Mark_w

I think you will find that it is £90 a hour for rolling road tuning I had my car set up there recently and it was very reasonably priced for the service

regards mark

Tank Mike

you pay for what you get mate.

TOTD are amazing. anything chris todd doesn't know about an rst isn't worth knowing. he really is the rst king.

the work i have had done there has always been 1st class.

i think it is 90ph rollingroad time and 50ph for mechanical work.

ricky_2006

o thought rolling rd tune and car setup was same thing mate lol.

whats difference?

ricky_2006

difference?

Mark_w

No,they are completely different In your first post you state 'want to get my rs escort s2 tuned.' You could take it to any competent garage to have this carried out,whereas if you had said 'want to get my rs escort s2 rolling road tuned.' then people know exactly what you want I am recommending TOTD as someone else did,but its down to you where you go,lets just hope that the place that is half price do not take twice as long to tune it...lol

just to Grove in Romford,get it live mapped by the best..........but seeing as ur asking about cost ur better off on the rollers

ricky_2006

ok, cool thanks, thats them changing the amount of fuel and boost going through etc, am i right in saying that

Mark_w

They will assess your current set up and then make adjustments to get the best from what you got.If everything is in good order then the rolling road is the best way to go for a initial set up,as it saves so much time compared to a road set up and also small gains can be seen instantly.

£90 per hour is not a bad price for rolling road labour!

a rolling road tune at Powers is £125 + vat, but an rst normally takes longer than an hour to tune

mk2rstaff

ricky_2006

i rang him few months ago. he sed tbh he doesnt know enuf about escort rs turbos (rst's) so he recoomended chris todd from torque of the devil.

DanRSturbo

Go and see Chris Todd and be done with it m8

He's set mine up numerous times and is a thoroughly pleasent chap to deal with


Or, you could always go to PTS

mk2rstaff

............what a load of shite............ ..u can live map any fuckn thing providing u have the software

Turbocabbie

I was also of the opinion that you could not live map MFI RST's due to the limitations of the ECU, I could be wrong though.

Do you know anyone who live maps MFI RS Turbos ?

How about Engine Advantages just up the road?

At £10,000 per half hour (+vat) by the time they have destroyed your engine, it has to be the quickest way of getting rid of your engine and all its internals down the exhaust pipe.

............probably all major tuners.....,but Grove in Essex are a cert........edited to say......on a mfi car u can only map the ignition system and up the fuel pressure to suit.....on a efi u can fully map both, it's nothing to do with the ecu's..hope this helps

austec_racing

Crawley w. sx we can map anything and have a maha 2 or 4 wd rolling road ...
