I really need to get my car setup

I live in Bedfordshire, where would you recommend i take it?

Jamsport are fairly close, any thoughts on them?

Its only running on t34/greens with an MSD chip so nothing out of the ordinary. I just want the boost/fueling set up without the fuel pressure being wound right up to maximum!

Are you saying your current fuel pressure is too high or that you just don't want any bodgers working on your car ?

Go to Mark @ M.A.Developments, he'll set it all up for you.

Had mine done at scs in petebourough spot on

The Crocodile Hunter

The last time i had it setup they just wound the regulator right in to make it safe at the top end. Just ended up rich everywhere else.

I was still on an old std pump at the time with a rewire have an 044 now and i have set the pressure to 3.5 bar as the MSD instructions

I just want it setup correctly. Im not chasing numbers either it makes whatever it makes

The Crocodile Hunter

Thanks I'll give them a shout.

I would not go near jamcock with a bargepole , if you want it done spot on then take a road trip to motorsport developments

The Crocodile Hunter

Thanks I'll give him a call too

The Crocodile Hunter

I would go to msd its just the distance.

I few people have said to leave Jamsport now!

Guinnless

Phew! Winding the pressure just puts strain on the fuel pump and can actually run lean as the pump simply runs out of capacity to supply the base + the boost pressure to maintain the correct differetial pressure. So if the base pressure is set to 4 bar and you have 2 bar of boost then the pump will need to supply 6 bar.
Stu did an article about this and exlained it much better than I can.

I'm only 50 miles from MSD so I always go there for setups.

Sometimes in life you have to travel to get things done CORRECTLY. your call but only two I'd use are MSD and Mark @ MAD

I travel 115miles each way to Mark's

Adam-M

I travelled down from Scotland to get mines done at MSD wouldn't trust anyone else up here to do it. As said MSD or MA Developments have a good reputation but I dunno if mark maps the Weber ecu's which I'm assuming that's what you've got? He must map them considering how many cossies go there?

I would go to Stu's but he is 168 miles away which is a bit far.

Caddyshack

Another vote for MAD.

turbotrev

Give Karl a ring at Norris Motorsport, they are based near Derby so not too far from you

Cheers Paul

STeve

iTrader: (11)

too much to list pete, been with a few people to their place to drop off and collect cars one with very serious issues caused while there etc etc theres way more than one instance but will leave that to the owners concerned to declare fella

Fair enough big man, you ok anyway bud?? Must catchup sometime soon Steve, been along time since Central Day 2012

Jules44

Roughly how much does a setup cost

The Crocodile Hunter

This is similar to what I've heard, i went there about 15 years ago but that was only for a power run on a N/A car. Obviously setting up a boosted engine is a bit different!

The Crocodile Hunter

Ive had mine done twice previously.

Was Ł130 the first time and Ł150 the second i think
