Re mappers in the north

[TREVR6 0]

My vr6 is ready for a re map. (Hi flow pannel filter, full st\st streight through exhaust, pierberg vsr, and i've just purchased one of alpina's enlarged tb's)

 

Any way just wondered if anyone can big up a re mapper in the north of England. I live about 35 miles south of the Scotish border and although I'm not scared of a road trip there is no point in traveling further than nessesery for these things.

 

Found one place in Lancaster (only 45 mins away, perfect!) called "TB Turbo" interested to hear any feed back about them. Any other sugestions greatfully recieved. Like i say not scared of a trek out rather it was done right but north of Birminghan would be nice, Yorkshire or Lancashire would be even nicer!

 

Thanks Trevr6

There's a company just outside Leeds called "Batley High Performance". They used to be & maybe still are "Superchip" dealers. So far as I'm aware they also do custom re-maps.

 

Not sure of the web address or phone number though.

If you can get hold of him, try PM'ing Henny as he found a pretty competent remappers up in the North and from all the good things he said, i'm sure he'd both reccomend them and happily use them again!

try http://www.chipwizards.co.uk 8)

 

Wayne Schofield's the bloke behind the company and he roams around the country custom writing maps for cars on other companies rolling roads... He did the chip for J-DUB and has done chips for Gav (H100VW) in the past too... at one point he had the proud claim to fame that he'd written more of the ECU chips running in the Porsche cup than Porsche had! That's gotta be a good endorsement! :lol: 8)

Wayne rocks.

 

I turn up and he is de-tuning a 911 race car cos he made it too powerful for the series it was in!

 

A very down to earth no BS kind of guy.

 

Whatever, you do don't wind yourself up into a must have 2XXhp or I'll kill myself situation. You may be disappointed. I didn't get what I wanted see. Reds and a solid 1 BAR boost yet I only got 180 hp..... I knew my car was running better than it was and was also much quicker. RRs are just a tool to get the best on the day.

 

The best thing about Wayne is he'll come to you if you have somewhere suitable for him to work. He does a lot at Dubsport too which would be pretty convenient for you.

rolling road tuning is a tad misleading.

 

when ive tuned the LinkECU on the scoobie i do it on the road (private of course).

 

i was maxing the standard injectors at around 1.2-1.3bar. using a Apexi avc-r i had to wind in a lot more solonoid duty(enough for 1.55 bar) just to hit the same figures on the rollers.

 

its all airflow and temperature related.

 

if we would have run the rolling rd map on the road it would have gone lean and melted as scoobies do.

 

id tune on the road anyday over the rollers. you dont drive on the rollers so you? having said that gavins car did go pretty well and chipwizards reputation has been good for years.

GazzaG60, that's kinda true, problem is try finding someone who'll do a full on tuneup on the road... you're looking at booking somewhere like Bruntingthorpe for that kinda thing... :|

How does this kind of thing compare to the SNS chips that most G60's (including myself) use?

[Henny 0]

well, Mine's an SNS chip that's then had the map re-written to be spot on for my somewhat non-standard engine, yet keep SNS's no-lag coding too... 8)

 

Basically it means that the advance and fuelling are EXACTLY right for YOUR engine rather than having been set up for another car that has very similar spec to yours... If you've not really gone to town on your engine, then I'd probably be happy with a standard SNS chip, however if you've done LOTS to it then it's worth getting the RR remap done to ensure you're getting the max out of your engine without risking any damage to it from running lean... 8)

 

Lets put it this way, the drive BACK from the rolling road with the new map left me with face ache for a good few days from all the inane grinning I was doing, where the drive TO the rolling road with the stock SNS chip just put a mild smile on my face... ;) :lol:

 

I must point out that the SNS chip I had was an "off the shelf" one and not one that Bilal had specc'd for my engine as it was always the plan to get the map done by Wayne on the rollers so it's not entirely a fair comparison... 8)

Henny - i agree a big open area is best but you can only use the tools you have ie roads(private)

 

and the results of road v RR are totally true not "kinda" the difference is that much .2bar on my mates scoob with the T04R is 80lbsft. deff the difference between pop and no pop

 

the air at 70-140mph is many times different both in terms of intercooler/chargecoller temps and also ambient air than a fan can give at the rollers.

 

Once again i must agree bilal@sns is the man. i use the more off the shelf type chip and its been fine for me, a tad rich but otherwise ok.
