hornchurch in Essex never have had a rolling road and never will its all done on the road.

Rod-Tarry

Not at 800+bhp its not .

wozzy

because he probably want his car back within 3 months!

carcollector

i would never have my car setup by a company that has no dyno - even i have one as an enthusiast

and for TOTD - very sorry to hear, it is always a shame when businesses close as theres families and kids behind the workers that no longer have a job....

all the best @ ecutek

i had my car live mapped by Ahmed and it was awesome after that - difference was like night and day - and the car was running fine beforehand without any issues but just thought as i will be taking the car on track to get the map checked and im glad i did. That car lvoed the red line and got abused wherever it could never even had to open the engine up after installing 4 years earlier and it was a secondhand harvey gibbs 400 engine too

Best of luck Chris, you was always good with me and my old rs turbo,

Ahmed keeps a pretty low profile which surprises me for somebody so well known and respected

Not a fan of MSD/M.A.D/NMS/Will Pedley etc... then?




Just joking of course, I'm sure all mappers will agree a dyno has its plus points etc...

carcollector

Big fan of MSD and Will Pedley for their knowledge but not for the fact that they use the road to do the testing.

Results cannot be reproduced on the road as the conditions are never the same, whereas a dyno should be exactly the same every time....unless you use a non TUV approved dyno like the mad people

Rod-Tarry

Perhaps the other should use non TUV approved because MAD cars are proven to be the fastest .

MAD has a RR facility in the same building.

carcollector

no rod, i aint takin the bait

u seen my post with the iphoto thingy ?

ah...and havent talked to u in ages, hows everything ?

Corrected

You seem to forget that harvey uses the same superflo as MAD and that neither of them are TUV approved


As for creating specific conditions, the only way to do that is in an environmental chamber like Ford use and NONE of the aftermarket people do that, they all just do their mapping at one set of temp/pressure conditions and hope for the best when the temperature changes based on guesswork from their experience!

To actually map a car really accurately for different conditions, you have to create those conditions, hot day / cold day / high pressure / low pressure / different humidities etc

That costs FAR more money than any remap that people on here are used to, you can buy an RS200 for what it would cost to properly map an RS Turbo in terms of doing it in different conditions etc!

carcollector

chip, stop fueling....am on holidays in miami

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Well I hope you havent taken a car that was mapped in the UK, the weather is very different out there, lol

When I was there I hired a big fuck-off harley and rode from our hotel in miami beach down to key west and key largo, highly recomended day out

carcollector

unfortunately theres no harley with a sidecar available so i rented a big ass suburban that works a treat with the 5mo old

just use power engineering mate on the same trading estate
good lads always looked after my cars.

GazST

Good luck Chris! Never used TOTD even tho I'm fairly local. I've only ever heard good things from mates who have used them and within the trade.

paul0461

recommend Jano at oddkiddcreations.
top bloke and really knows his stuff. most importantly, great value for money

t230

saddens me to hear this cause i gave these guys untold calls about my t230 and not once did they get pissed off! Where as with CR turbos where i spend 400 plus vat , shut the fone in my face...so yeah its a shame such good people go out of business....

I was finally ready to take Chris Todds advice and go with what he was saying lool ... oh well back to square one...
