hi, is there any other companys that do live mapping apart from msd and karl norris and ahmed bayjoo, there just a too far away, prefably near london, i need to get my new build finished, cheers

 

i thought ahmed did it from london via grove garage?

but whatever, it's worth travelling a bit to have it done well

 

What car and spec is it?

If its something simple like a stage 3 cosworth, there probably isnt a huge amount of point TBH

 

engine advantages in essex ?

 

Give Mark Shead a call he loves a bit of live mapping lol

Keith

 

engine advantages sounds promising.. the spec will be around 460bhpish tt38 72lb blacks cams etc....

 

Mark only does on autronic, and is off work for 2 weeks due to the birth of his son.

What ECU are you on mate?

If its L8 you are pretty much stuck with the 3 you listed!

 

oh a l8 mate with a pectel board do engine advantages have a good rep?

 

..u should have talked to ur/a tuner first,before u spec'd parts

 

Ahmed if you dont want to travel far from London imo.

 

ive given up talking to tuners the opinions very so much...lol it drives me mad... i'm building a spec that both msd and karl norris metion was good parts it wasn't till i noticed its £100 worth of fuel and a overnight stay i paniced!!! spoke to ahmedbayjoo and they said it too powerfull for what they set up... i'll speak to engine advantages tomoz.

 

I thought Mark still mapped all the ford ecu's ??

wont be the first time i have been wrong lol

Keith

 

Not only does he not "still" map them, as far as I know mate, he has NEVER mapped them.

 

what do you mean to powerfull ???they done paul j fiesta turbo which was 600bhp plus and most of the top rs out there are lived mapped by him

 

AFAIK, to live map properly, the tuners need the car for a week or thereabouts, to check cold start blah blah..

TBH, I'd rather drive 3hrs each way and get the job done properly..

Get someone to follow u up, or trailer it, and pick it up when its done

You get what you pay for, and there are one a few tuners in the UK that know which buttons to press

 

.....to powerfull...........wtf.....ur joking....they do 500bhp cars every week.....whats probably happened is u've told him u've put this combo together urself and dont know the comp ratio and why u have a miss match of cams and grove have said no they wont touch it...........

 

Its NEVER too far to travel to get the job done properly.

 

........i travel a 550mile round trip to grove.........not into "tuner wars"... but i'm happy with where i go.....

 

it is strange i know, as soon as i said its run siemen injectors he didn't seem interested... oh well

 

Give Karl @ NMS a call mate he was happy to do mine with siemens

I know its a journey but it is worth it to get a good job done.

 

Not the first to have problem blamed on siemens.
I had a EA(stage3) chip/set up, recently 28/11/07 where it made 328.8bhp, 288.7lbft.
This was on a stage three, but it was using petrol like it was going out of fashion, and fouling plugs etc.
I was unhappy after a while despite an apparent 60odd bhp increase over stage 1, but then put it on another rollers, where the TRUE reading was very different and problems came to light.
The real power was 271.5BHP, 334.3lbft, a LOSS of 0.2BHP over a GGR stage 1 chip!!.
The torque curve plummets after 3500 due to MASSIVE ignition retard.
I used the same rollers for comparison purposes between a GGR stg1 and the EA chip.
The person I use does NOT do cossies as such, and knows neither of these people.
I regret the whole experience and would not wish it on anyone else, but it's your money and your choice.
The AFR on the GGR chip was between about 11.5 to 12.5, the EA chip was between 11 and 10.5..

i phoned grove about mapping my car as much closer to me and they were the same with me saying cams are no good, injectors are a nightmare and the wrong attitude imo so i phoned msd completely different happy to help attitude done my car and its wicked.

 

mines practically the same spec and ahmad is doing mine on saturday so I reckon its more to do with the injectors.

 

why spend thousands on a new engine build then worry about hundreds when it comes to mapping????????

IMO get it booked in @ MSD in blackpool. what stu doesnt know about mapping cossies, isnt worth knowing.....he's your man!

 

Are you completely insane?? Where did you type this from....the comfort of your padded cell? How did you manage to type this in a straght jacket? With your nose and tongue?

 

Your rehabilitation and journey from the dark side into the light continues. You are making great progress....hold in there kid, you may just make it back. I'm impressed! I'm liking you more and more after a rocky start!! Hey we could even have a beer?

 

I have to agree.....why spend all tha tmoney on an engine only to scrimp on travelling to get it set up? I know petrol is expensive but not that expensive!! And besides, Stu can actually map your car to be economical during off boost driving!

Drive the distance and get it done properly!!

Not like I did....drive the distance and get shafted!

Now book it in with Stu or Sheady, you will regret it otherwise!!

 

god i wish i was like you..

build up a nice spec engine thats cost thousands and the not worry about having it set up properly that's gona cost you 500quid, and petrol 200quid

 

......edited ot say.......Karl can do it too! But dont scrimp on travelling to a tuner.... itll cost you more in the long run!
