Remapper recommendations?

Does anyone have recommendations for someone that can do a rolling road remap.

Ideally it would be reasonably local to me (Herts/Bucks) and someone who is used to tackling the slightly unusual (the firm I'd hoped would do it aren't interested for this reason). I realise knowledge of the Vitesse piggyback isn't going to be common in the UK, but if I can work it then I'm sure anyone can.

I've used chipwizards a couple of times before, but not sure I have to time for that at the moment, it is an awfully long way to go.
 
I agree with Graham, think of the trip home... seriously though IMHO Wayne is the best.

Chipwizards do have a good reputation especially for bespoke setups but surely he can't be the only one in the uk?
Rarely if ever is anywhere else mentioned but one place in the whole of the uk?
Must be a market for somone there!

Speak to Ollie at RPM. I think they use someone for tuning that is local to you. I haven't used them but Ollie speaks very highly of them.
 
Speak to Nick_968, I know he had his 968 Turbo with Motec mapped somewhere around Greater London, which may be a whole lot closer to you than Wayne

I think they were probably the same people I was planning to use, but unfortunately they're not interested, however I'll ask Ollie in case he can recommend anyone else.

This doesn't need to be a 'definitive' map as this engine isn't going to last indefinitely anyway, so like David I'm sure there must be others, all I could think of was Bob Watson but I doubt he does front engined cars and he'd probably be towards the top end of my budget anyway (I don't see the need to see a Porsche specialist for something as straight forward as a remap).

Thanks for the tip off Paul, I'll get in contact with Nick and see if he has a suggestion.
 
Hi Peter,
The vittesse 'piggyback' is actually made by a South African company - the maps are created by Vitesse - as are the wiring diagrams to suit the '44 etc. The original manufacturer may have dealers in the UK?

Sorry cant remember the name of the original manufacturer though!

Quick goole refresh - think its a perfect power smt6?

I used CFM in Reading yesterday and they are very interested in high compression engines with forced induction. Cant comment on the results too much as my boost control failed but they made pretty good power on mine with low boost and the engine runs much cooler and smoother than before.
They are happy to map Megasquirt which a lot of places wont. I was charged for 2 hours on the Dyno. My car was there most of the afternoon.
 
I didn't realise the piggyback was made by somebody else, you learn something new every day!

Thanks for the suggestion James, I'll give them a call and see what they day.

Just had a chat with CFM and they weren't at all frightened off by the idea of doing it, so as soon as the car's through the MOT I'll be off to see them. Thanks ever so much for the recommendation James.

I'll be interested in hearing how you get on Pete, Reading is a lot closer to me than Rochdale but they'd have to impress me greatly to use them in place of Wayne. It's one thing to gain power which I want and loads of it but it's another to do it safely, there's a fine balance between Max available power and total destruction.
Many tuners can achieve more power but few actually fully understand what they are doing which I'm sure is why you've used Wayne yourself in the past. I guess it's a matter of trust, over the years I have learnt to trust in Wayne completely and he hasn't let me down so far.

Good luck and keep us informed..:)

Mapping a car on the dyno when the ambient conditions are stable is easy. The hard part is making sure it works optimally in all conditions, ambient temperature, engine temperature, oil temperature, ambient pressure, accelleration, decelleration etc etc. This is where experience, testing and knowledge of the engine is essential and is worth its weight in gold.

Of course the right ECU with the right level of control helps the 944 is pretty basic but the 944 turbo has good knock protection which 'should' keep you safe it things go pear shaped.
 
Imagine if some-one was to develop a clean sheet, - 21st century ECU for the 944 & 951, - without looking over their shoulder at what the 951 might be capable of compared to an aircooled 3.3, and incorporate flexibility for modern features, bigger capacity.....

that would be interesting[:)]

Dont want to pi55 on your parade Pete but, ive heard from a couple of people that Wayne has messed up a couple of peoples engines with his custom mapping. Of course, this is only hearsay and could be complete bollox. Just a thought though.
