Which Tuner to map my car.

[Hammer]

Since i live in the north east there arnt any up here that map rotary\'s.
 
What are people experience of the tuners in the UK.
 
RE-Worx is to far
Dragon is too far
 
So that leaves WGT (Pip being the closest but not by far) and the ones in London.  Just looking for people opinions
 
Car has an Apexi PFC and i am hoping for 500rwhp when tuned.

Yes, the nearest to you will be Pip. He is an experienced engine builder and tuner and I would recommend him. He has tuned a few RX-7\'s for me as well as REworx. Especially if you do not fancy travelling too far south.

[Hammer]

It does come down to cost aswell, but before i start phoning them for prices and availability in the next couple of weeks it was just a nose to see what people say

Tunign shouldn\'t really come down to cost dude - it can make or break an engine, and make or break a driving experience.
I\'d deffo be heading for Pip if I were you. In fact, you can have my end of the month slot if it turns out my car\'s blown up

Always gone to pip over the 6yrs of ownership

my motor was built by WGT (before i bought the car) and seems to be very strong.
 
RE:Worx mapped it and were great, Geoff let me know weak areas of the engine that needed improving, areas that were working well that i should leave well alone and even pushed it through an MOT for me.

[Hammer]

cost is an issue when some tuners charge £400 for mapping and are .... but some charge £300 and are a good.
 
I have heard Pip maps rich for safety

I dont know if your north east scotland or england bud, but im from aberdeen an im planning on taking my car to pip\'s after iv broken in the engine.

I mate of mine got his car mapped buy a guy that goes by the name of The Dentist, he is based near glasgow, and comes with the reputation with never loosing any sort of engine, however i dont know how many rotories he done......at least one anyway, i can get a price from my mate if your interested?

[turbotoaster]

the dentist is pretty well know in the evo game, hes mapped alot of them to big power, but like you say, havent heard of him doing any rotarys yet.

What about Hayward north?

[m1tch]

A few of my mates over in Norway bring their RX7s over to WGT lol its not even in the same country!

why dont you learn to map yourself, its a great experience and not massively hard, plenty of advice around the world if your prepared to look, thats what im doing

i did too and it was not the minefield i was made to believe. i think its 250 for datalogit 150 for a wideband. if you have a pfc and a laptop away you go :WaveBye:3gears-rh

[turbotoaster]

plus it gives you chance to try things out and learnt alot more about your car, say you have it mapped by someone and something goes wrong at a later date, your not gonna be able to make adjustments to the map to fix the problem.

im going for 19-20psi on pump fuel in a week or so once ive sorted out the solenoids, ask 99% of tuners to map it for that and they will tell you to bugger off.

Id hate to have to rely on someone elses work when i could do it myself and miss out on learning a very important aspect of vehicle knowledge.

Where in the north east do you live?

[neil_jdmr]

Im in Northumberland mate and drove down to Pips to get mine mapped and cant fault the experience and a quality drive home. Me and the wife just made a weekend of it and went to chester zoo etc.

[Hammer]

This is the problem, i am looking for mine to be mapped at 1.4-1.5 bar and I know some tuners will just say NO.
 
Most just map at 1 bar and leave it at that, well thats no good for me.
 
I have mapped piston engines but I sold my datalogic at the begining of the year and at the moment its not worth starting again.
