Glanza-Ben Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Are there any decent turners in south west who can check some fueling and do power graph? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Powerstation is in tewskbury, about 20mins from me, may be a bit far for you? Well known tuner involved in the type 25 scoobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well known tuner involved in the type 25 scoobs that is a fair mission theres a guy down here whos massive in old school tuning but not newer stuff but may go see him and see if he can do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) http://www.rallytechmotorsport.co.uk/index.asp he seems to be all about carb tuning though Edited April 1, 2014 by Glanza-Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh really? my bad, sorry dude! No real tuners down here though mate, I only really know of interpro in thornbury but have heard they arent the best, not sure if they even have a dyno anymore lol Fuck all down here mate really Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thats fair enough bud, what ecu you going to be mapping on? Powerstation might be worth checking out though, I had my coilovers setup there and they had some awesome motors around, a couple of bike powered caterham things being mapped on motecs, a DTM beemer etc so they must know there stuff.

Ollieh17 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Theres also badger 5 in stroud but thats probably a fair mission for you too. Only really heard reviews from vag boys there too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ben i spoke to dave baskiville on weekend. He can check fueling and dyno it but he is more comftable with older stuff. Allan jefferies at engine tuner His brother martin hil climb/ sprints starlets apperently. Hilton had the glanza set up a while back down there. So thats where im gunna take it back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Towbar Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Tbh i have heard quite a few bad rep storys for engine tuner,I wouldnt take mine there,I had my crx sir there for a power run,Was told i could film it and watch etc,Left the car with them went into the waiting room to pay/sign, heard my car running up then he came out saying all done heres your graph......Hes rude and arrogant if it isnt a scoob is what i found.He also fecked a r34 up after being rebuilt i think Abit of confusion behind that story lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Previous owner of mine still member on here took the car down and said martin was really helpfull Let them stay there and film it.and came back with good results. Problem is these days u only ever here bad things about place/people I want mine roaded at some point soon. But like ben said its limited down here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think Alan Jeffery is a cock/joker I phoned him regarding changing my valve stem seals and he qouted me £650 just for labour and then said it's a days work at £50 per hour "so it was going to take them 13hrs" ive stripped my spare engine in 2hrs. And when I mentioned that TD and race-tec would do it for £700-750 his reply was "they must be working out of a shed" put me right off he's got a shit attitude! AP is the one ive herd are good but im sure they have since changed their name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 700-750 is all parts included arp bolts 1.2mm hg ect! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ak motors in Plymouth are good. Been down there a few times and they've always been welcoming and helpful. They'll be able to sort out what you need and they map emanage if you need it. They've got a 4x4 rolling road and can map most ecu's as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fordie_glanzaV Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Decisions decisions.Engine tuner quoted me 140 for a session and some fine tuning.. Where as dave baskiville of barnstaple quoted me 60 as he has done work on my previous cars.But as ben said above he likes his older cars that run carbs and can tune with a screwdriver. Lol Glad this thread got started cus its making me think twice now :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AP is the one ive herd are good but im sure they have since changed their name. all those figures are mental, and truth is its because RaceTech/TD/Jefferies arent working out of a shed. Id far prefer to be paying a good tuners time than his overheads, so Guru with a shed for me everytime. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil to be fair to TD/Race-tec both prices included all parts! where as jefferies was just labour so by the time you add the parts list it would be over a grand to have it done by Alan!

fordie_glanzaV Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I will probs go akTbh, did your V not go bang once or twice? If so was it anything to do with the mapping?In all honesty I think that was all down to poor parts and budget builds and driven very hard on daily basis.Cus that happened all before the setup down engine tuner.Unfortunatly it went pop for 3rd time just after i brought it.But touch wood holding up sinse I've had it done :-D Ull have to let us know what ak are like. Cus im looking for a session in next month or so...Would love to go td or race tech but its the effort and cost going up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fordie_glanzaV Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeh was never machined on the rebuilds kept blowing same piston. When stripped it bore was quite worn.So had new pistons and all the block machined to match and head skimmed and cleaned.And i aint had prob sinse...So i wouldnt put it down to the map.. Might give ak a ring soon and get a price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Down here he's not got a good rep, he's decent on scoobs but other then that he don't get a decent rep Well that's bollocks for starters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
