Wheres the best/recommended place to get a Emanage mapped local to the Midlands.
Prices would be good if people have any ideas s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:
Ilogik has recommended Weston Performance to me before, anyone else had dealings?
And the same for South please? Need to get mine done or send it back cos its still not working
My tuner has unfortunately gone whoopsy, but a quick Google brought up Thor, Fusion Motorsport, Monster Motorsport, Tuning Developments, Austec Racing.....so there are plenty out there if no personal recommendations available.
Not forgetting Noble of course.

Just called for a quote from Western Performance which is local to me in Solihull and they quote £395 + VAT
Is that a little steep for a non-turbo application?
mapping is mapping turbo or not (unless you've asking them to set up a boost controller at the same time).
£400 + VAT is a expensive for a mapping session in my book.
I was anticipating around the £300-£350 mark. Rather than £395-£465 mark. In the same respect I know damage can be done, so I want it done right
That does sound a bit pricey to me, last year noble charged me £281.75 inc vat and that was a half day session.
Is there anyone that doesnt talk with a funny accent who tunes these?
Oi s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

You could try Austec, they are in Crawley, Russ.

Guys if you want emanage mapping pm me.

Zcars in East Yorkshire charge £95 per hour dyno time with a mapping technician. They did a superb job for me although at that rate it would have cost close to £700... s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes: ...Good job i know the owner.
Once I have my mapping done, is there anything I should be doing once its done? Im guessing there will be more ware on the engine. So an oil change should be done more regular? Is there anything else you guy recommend?
Nah, you're only NA so I wouldn't bother with anything else extra at all. You'll only make another 10-20bhp overall which is nothing on the stock 1ZZ, so just carry on as normal I say.
Ever heard of anyone having problems after fitting on one of these? Either the unit or engine wise?
I never had any issues with mine. Well, not after the initial troubles that was put down to my dodgy wiring on the loom anyway. Safe as houses and all that.
s8) 8) s8)
Mine has never worked from the moment I bought it! s:evil: :evil: s:evil:
I did read you had some issues getting it fired up. I hope i dont have that problem.
Got my mapping booked at Noble Tuesday and sooooo excited s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:
What we think we'll get out of her??
Im not expecting dramatic results based on several factors.... age of the car, mileage, im still cat'ed and general restrictions on the standard engine.
Engine/Exhaust wise i will have the following;
Che Manifold
PPE CAI induction
Cobra Sports Exhaust
Prem Petrol
151
Let the bidding begin. If someone gets it right to the nearest 1 there will be an automatic donation to the club funds by me.......
noble seem to give out fairly high figures so im going to say about 180 s:lol: :lol: s:lol: joking apart with similar mods + power fc + stage 1 cams I got 152.3 think was 145 torque mine had just a gutted cat, it is a Dyno Dynamics dyno
Id better get my bid in, mine is a similar spec to yours apart from the lack of a cat and they got me 156.7 so I'm guessing 152. good luck

Al, you'll have to take your GT300 there when the 2ZZ is in, they might need to knock the side wall down to get it in, but the extra 50hp in your book must be worth it s:lol: :lol: s:lol: .
In all honesty though Noble are a very reputable outfit. Many of us have been there now (Wabbit, FG Rob, E, myself, to name but a few) and received good service.
Back to the task, I'll go with a round 150hp.
I think we are getting a fair cross section of cars now, I think Noble are lower on the torque side than most, which is reflected in most of the cars that have been there.
I'd say you would be around the 155 mark, remember my torque went up with a cat fitted, mind you it was a sports cat. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Rob.
LoL AC think I might s:P :P s:P Dyno's can be great or quite disappointed especially if you spend mucho dollar
Well as it goes results could be poor unless i get this brake calliper sorted before then s:( :( s:(
Right then calliper and O2 sensor sorted s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:
Need to fill up tonight before the trip tomorrow............
Im not at home right now but i am right next to a Shell petrol station now. I dont have any Shell garages by me for miles and miles. Ive been using Sainsbury premium petrol as its the closest and cheapest. I have around a quarter of a tank left.
I will be swiching to Tesco 99 after my mapping as one has recently opened a few miles from my home.
Im not sure how much this matters, but should i fill up with Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate (the only petrol stations around here)?
Im really not sure if im thinking about this too much but i know people have said you should stick to the same fuel when having mapping done and wondered whats best to do
Fill up with whatever you normally do. No point having a great map but having to drive 20 miles to fill up every time.
I plan to fill up with Tesco 99 but there isnt one for miles around here and im not at home until tomorrow evening. Thats why i was trying to work out what i should do
It really won't make that much (if any) difference between Tesco or Shell, so I'd fill up with Shell if that's nearest to you right now.
Just got to Noble and they havent got a data cable s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
Boy im angry. I asked if i needed anything and they said no!
Does anyone local to chesterfield have one i could borrow for the day. Ill come and collect.
I pay someone to use it or ive wasted a 4 hour round trip and a day off work s:cry: :cry: s:cry:
please call me on 07841474868 if you can help s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:
Nearest person i can think of is Ste, but he's over in Manchester - a fair trip!
yeah an hour and a half away s:( :( s:(
How did they set-up E car then??
I took my own cable, but I dont understand why they didnt say when you asked if you needed to bring anything, Im coming up blank at this end. s:( :( s:(
Thanks for all that tried to help out.
Ive had to leave the car there and they have provided me with a cert car (a Yaris s:( :( s:( ) Was not quite the ride home i was expecting.
They have now ordered a lead and say it will be there for tomorrow morning and i can have the car back tomorrow. Drove back and went into work for now. Not a happy chappy really. But thank god they had a replacement car or it would have really messed things up.
Ill try again tomorrow s:? :? s:?
Mike rang and e-mailed me today to ask to borrow my cable, which he/you could gladly, but its with me and I live half way between Manchester and Leeds (and was nowhere near home at the time).
I didn't think to say on your post that I took my own cable, saying that Mike did say he was buying a Gifftech cable like mine but it turns out Gifftech are a bit of a one man band and don't exactly respond (they didn't when I e-mailed them having problems with their USB cable and Vista, turns out their cable works up to Windows XP from what I can see!).
Hope you get sorted tomorrow.
It will all be worth it in the end keep smiling. s:) :) s:)
My cable has worked on Vista and windows 7 but then I think mine is the previous version of the cable.
To be honest, I think that's a pretty good service, how many tunning companies actually have a car to lend out, OK it's a pain but at least they are doing something about it.
Rob
In all fairness when i told them i had trouble getting time off work this month and i was trying to book it in they offered me a car then.
They said i could drive over after work and they would open up for me and i could take a car. I could then travel down after work and they would do the same.
Having said that they are getting £100's of pounds for half a days work so im sure they will bend over alittle for you
Quote from: "E"My cable has worked on Vista and windows 7 but then I think mine is the previous version of the cable.
IIRC E when you first told me about Gifftech over at Spit's you mentioned you had the serial port to USB version cable??? I bought the USB to USB, I wonder if that could make a difference?
You see if you had a PFC you don't get these sorts of problems - s:lol: :lol: s:lol: s:flame: :flame: s:flame: s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
Thats what I am thinking, the only issue I had was that the connector where the USB cable plugs into the converter was a bit flakey if it moved at all this was sorted by cutting some bits of the plastic label and wedging the cable so it cant move. Îf when you plug yours in to a laptop it is called a prolific USB to serial cable you can find the latest drivers for it for free by googling Prolific USB to serial.
Just got back from Noble and eventually got the mapping done. The results are in.......
Soooo......
163.0 bhp / 6706 1/min (109 mph)
135.6 ibft / 5938 1/min
s:D :D s:D
Nice s:) :) s:)
Worth it?
That's a great result - I bet it feels a whole lot different now. s:D :D s:D s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Don't forget to put your results in the NA performance section.
Yeah its def picked things up. I have to say that induction kit has also really made a difference.
Its been abit of a jaunt sorting it and ive probably driven around 350 miles over the passed few days and most of them not in my car. It was strange getting back in it again. But so good now ive got all that power.
I seem to notice it alot in 2nd gear, it really picks up fast. The car just seems more comfortable when putting the power down
s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:
Jesus what a result, congratulations on some excellent figures.
That what i thought looking at everyone elses s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Thanks guys i wouldnt be were i am today without you lot s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown: I owe it all to you and all that money ive just spent s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
In all fairness i got a very good rate for them messing me around.
Great result Nathan, congrats!
Thats some great results!! Its amazing how much of a difference the small hike in power makes.
Cheers mate. Theres certainly a difference. I know if I went back to a stock car it would seem very different.
Im a whole 25 horses up on stock s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes:

Excellent news Nathan - always good when a plan comes to fruition.
Here is my before and after n/a tuning on same dyno
