I want to get my car on a rolling road to check BHP and torque, plus additional set up etc etc. does anyone know if there is one in the Midlands area ? and approx how much it costs.

Thanks Paul

Thor are recognised as the best in the midlands area.

Roughly about £150 for a rolling road and circa an hour of tuning.

HTH

Cheers, dont suppose you have a web address or where actually they are in the midlands??

My mate at work knows the guy who works there - all the 200sx drifters go to him for tuning and r/r.

Remind me next week and I'll get you a number m8 - weekend = memory like a sieve

U2U me next week pls

Where in the 'midlands' are ya? As I know another guy in Peterborough

Cheers again for that. im based in Wolverhampton.

Deffo worth doing i think so you can get the thing set up. will remind you next week

Yep Thor Racing do have a good rep. also they are pretty good with Supras.

They use a hub mounted dyno which is about as accurate as you'll get without taking the engine out.

Do you want someone to tune your carbs or map your FI engine?

You need to go to a rolling road suited to what you want. Thor might be the best people in the world at mapping 200sx's or Alpha FI systems but could be completely useless at carbs having never seen one in there life.

Dave Ashurst seems reasonably happy with the place he's gone a few times.

Hi aldons if they have got some one in to work the road. or wilcock on the A5 hinkley way . hi spec never heard a good report about them from any body who has used them . Well worth the trip is emerald for no bulls**t but its a bit of a trek to norfolk.

cheers matt

paul, my money,s on 235 hp peak at 5000rpm and 260 lb/ft at 3500rpm id be happy with that on your spec and il bet its more than your tyres can cope with anyway!!

thanks for all the advise, i think i will try the place at cradley heath been as im running a holly carb. Froggy, must admit i would prob be a bit disappointed with 235hp as all the goodies i have done states 270!!! but your probably more experienced than i am on these things , so will be interesting to see. However if it is around 235hp then the thing is more than to fast now!!!
To be honest the grip is not as bad as i thought it was going to be if you use throttle control you would be amazed how much power you can get down .

There is Jhon nobbles in Chesterfield thay build and tune the engines for the Nobble sports cars.
They will tune build most things i take my Scooby there and i have also had a car Chipped there and thay no what thay are doing.

paul, i wouldnt worry too much if its not as much as you thought that just means there is much more to come your over 300 hp /tonne now anyway

Yeh i know. its plenie fast enough to be honest. we will have to meet up so you can take it out for a blast.
