Hi
Has anyone had experience with using Dunnell Engines?
I notice they do a complete Zetec-E package.
Cheers
Mike
I used a dunnell ignition only ECU on a car, worked fine, all pre-mapped etc
And in the garage I have a dunnell/jenvey setup for a zetec. I bought it used, and intend fittin it to my project when the rest of the car is
ready...
I have spoken to Paul Dunnell a few times, he is easy going and extremely knowledgeable, not at all cheap, but you get a feeling of buying a quality
product that does what it says. This is not always the case with suppliers, so can be worth the extra cash.
The stuff he sells is not easily remapped by the end user, however, Dunnell will load a map onto an ecu to match the engine spec. Whilst many will
argue this is not ideal, it is exactly what is done by oem manufacturers, and means the car will have a decent, accurate and driveable map, and
hasn't been done by somebody who wants to turn he car around asap so he can get onto the next one. Horses for courses I suppose, so may not be
uitable if you want a DIY type of setup and want to fiddle with it.
they are fantastic to deal with, and the quality of the product is excellent.
I've spoken to Paul once, at length. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and lives for his product. What's more impressive is that he
makes all his stuff in house on his own CNC gear - no selling through.
I loved the work he's done around the duratecs - all his packaging is really compact and neat - a lesson to others.
Great to deal with as above, again aimed at motorsport and the price isnt any worse than other of the shelf products. But it will still make yours
eyes water
Hi
Had many dealings with them over the years regarding customers engines in race cars.
Over priced and vastly over rated. Check out most off the uprated parts he sells. Standard Ford parts wit part numbers removed. Uprated valve
springs, standard For items but 3 X the price.

They seem quite comparable to Omex for a similar set-up.
I've heard good things about Omex, wanted to see what Dunnell would be like as an alternative for the Striker.

That's one of my concerns with the weber alpha set up for mine, whilst i got it for a bargain it may be a pain finding someone to set it up.

Had to take it all the way to them just to get it mapped and cost me big time

Fortunately they're are a few local places to me, I was more concerned with the expense, im sure their must be a premium on the setup....?
