Engine tuning
jono2020 - 5/8/10 at 09:16 PM

Im thinking about taking my car for a rolling road session as I want to get it quicker. Anyone know roughly how much it would cost and I know its a 'how long is a piece of string' comment, but how much more BHP can they get out of the engine... Also can anyone recommend one near Worcester??

there is M-Tech in cheltenham ( i think its called M-Tech). rough RR prices are about £80/Hour, a day session (ie a full set up from a base map) can be in the region of £400. All depends how much needs doing.

Cost me about £250 and worth every penny,took him about 3 hours but sorted lots of issues out for me. My zetec gives 139bhp.

I use mech repairs in cheltenham they are really good. They charged me £270 to tune my weber on a zetec. It made 160bhp

Yeah Andy is right (as usual Alex is wrong!). Mech Repairs (www.rollingroad.co.uk) is the place to go. Dave is a great man, and has some awesome machinery in his workshop. Expect to pay £150-350 depending upon how much it needs remapping. Not sure what you are running, but Dave does not do bike carbs. He will have a go at just about anything else (M/S, my Triumph tuning software etc!).

Awsome, im gonna try get it done this month. Im running a 2.0 zetec with twin 45 webbers. No idea what bhp im running at the mo. I just want to get it as quick as I can and the quickest 0-60 I can too

At the mo I dont know as its in the garage again having the sump re done as I cracked it AGAIN. I didnt build it and I havnt checked the ECU so im not sure. How much more BHP did u get after the tuning session then compared to what you started with?

Defo worth having it done - had mine fettled at Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield and makes the world of difference - Got 147bhp out of my 1.8 CVH with bike carbs which is about the best im gonna get i reckon from that lump!
