I know sussex dyno tuning are pretty good in horsham, the other half works there and they have done a fair few cossies since shes been there althou they specialise in jap aswell, and do it all on a rolling road.

Will be taking mine there once ive run it in to get it all set up etc!!!

Julian godfreys are good too but their pretty busy the begginning of next year and set their cars up on the road so dont like doing it in shitty weather!! spoke to them the other week for some advice as they had worked on my car in the past.

....yes mate it's done on the road (they know where to go to avoid cameras...)....as for cost, by the time u by a chip and pay for a set up u'll be looking at Ł400.....mapping aint much more (sometimes cheaper....mine was)......

Based on how he has worded his post, I suspect he isnt quite sure what he wants TBH.


OP, can you give your engine spec and then maybe one of us can advise.

I had it setup a couple of yrs ago now so just really wanted to get it checked out again to see if everything is running ok and maybe get a little bit more power out of it, its only running stg 3 so not a massive spec

Ike who is the main man there is more than capable of a good set up , but

if you want a full re map, he would probably recommend using a later ecu,

such as Dta which he has supplied me.

As you are fairly near me normally I would offer to look at it for you on the road with the wideband and det cans on it, but TBH at this time of the year with the roads so dodgy, a rolling road is a far better option!

Yea ike's the man there in the know bout cossie's etc!!! He's in the process of getting the gf up to speed with mapping/engine building and even welding the lucky cow lol.

The Dta route was also what he told her to tell me to get if i wanted to get the cossie running better althou obviously they can set up cars there on whatever chips in there, gonna get mine done when i can sort out why it isnt running. Its got a julian godfrey chip in there at the mo so no point changing the chip.

How u finding the Dta setup and what car did u have it fitted into?! Tach said ikes had some cossie stroker cranks made up which sound interesting!


Saw some of his machineing work the other day too as he has fixed the head on the tach's r32 gtr, awesome stuff as he's machined 2 completely new oil ways down both sides of the head to cure the problem with it!!

Thats not badly priced is it. I would be scared in case they found loads wrong with it. How often do cars need setting up.
