hi all this is another mod update for my e4 :O) power fc tune


yes it was rolling road time for me :O) and i chose to have my evo rolling road tuned at hayes engineering " "oh no i here some of you say " what about that post !!

well what about it its just one persons opinion and that person aint me :O)

to make it clear before some one and his friend possibly read this and comment .

i had booked my car in to be tuned over 2 weeks ago ,my tuner lee arranged the details and no lee dont tune motec . he is a evo owner him self and tunes apexi power fc . i think he spends a bit of time over the road :O)
.
so rolling road tune my first one , they do say your first one is always the best one ! well to be honest i cant see how it could have got any better .

and if first impressions are any thing to go buy then imagine driving up to the front of a well sized unit then to have your own 3" exhaust and stereo drowned out by a full blown 600+bhp rx7 drag car being run up on the roller by steve from fc tuning . what a sound it made and a great start to a wet afternoon .

because they are very busy most of the time and i only get certain days off i had the last session of the day , but me being me i got there early to see what was what .i was to go on after the rx 7 :O) what a car ,,

i was greeted at the door by a polite member of bob staff who introduced me to bob not that i could here a thing over the rx7 :O) and was invited to watch till lee arrived .

and bobs gold chain !!! it aint that big . LOL

well his work shop is a busy place , there where a pair of evo's to one side a pair of civic's to another all in different states of tune . even so the place was as tidy as a bmw main dealer on a saturday afternoon .

i had never met lee before but he came highly recommended " cheers jamie" but had spoken a fue times about what i wanted

so you know my evo is a daily driver not a race car and all i was after was a safe map to make the best of the parts fitted " from flee bay mostly " .

i am not after a million bhp or a 1000rpm power band so i was never expecting to see the kind of power that lee / bob and steve from fc tunning got for me .

just like to say that while lee was setting up my car steve took a interest in what was going on and between them they safetly mapped my car

a big thanks to steve and his" calculator" :O) who stayed till the end and asked for no money , that how passionate these guy's are about was they do . :O)

the rx7 ran on longer than expected and i had some injector issues " lag times / flow rates " so we ended up running late to the point where bobs staff all went home . but again that wasn't a problem the three of them stayed on my car till they where happy . and i was even happier .

big thanks to bob for staying open late and again didn't cross his mind to ask for more money :O)

before my car even made the roller bob made sure it was mechanical safe checked the levels and pressures and made sure it had a seat cover and put on some gloves . its the little thinks i like as i am the only person that usually works on my cars .


i would like to show you a before and after print for my car but the first run was aborted as the af ratio was so bad that i cant even tell you the look on there faces when they backed off . so it was desided to do some steady state tunning to make sure all was ok before they put the power down . so slowly i saw the power rise 310/ 360/ 377.

how happy was i then the big one 409 / 415/ 419/ then 422.

it was then decided to cap the power under 420 only cause i dont have a forged bottom end yet . and my inter cooler was having a hard time , there advise get a bigger one , think i will :O)


so make of this what you want but in my honest opinion if you want a professional garage and need a tune give bob ,steve or lee shout . cause i cant fault them .


thanks again lads



i will be going back soon to see if they car tweek my cams a little , not for more power try and get some more low down punch :O)

the car now drives great smooth power with a big kick in the back leaving a even bigger grin :O)

Hi Paul,

Was good to meet you yesterday and to be able to get the best that we could out of the car, its a very strong car and does make great power for only 1.6bar ;)

Bob is a top bloke and I am glad that you have seen this first hand and for you to still come up and get the car mapped after that crap post was good for you to see how it all works at Bobs. It was good that Steve was there as well to go through things with you on the screen as well, so it gave you a bit more of an understanding on how it all works and bloody Steve with his calculator :lol:

I think you got the best of 3 worlds yesterday Bob, myself and Steve.

Last but not least thanks to Bob for the rollers and Steve for jumping in, your never to old to learn new ways of doing things :cool:

Ive done many Rolling Road days at Hayes Engineering and I've been close with Dyno Dynamics since its emergence in the UK tuning scene.. They are an EXCELLENT garage with EXCELLENT customer service and Bob , Ray and Mr Hayes himself have always been helping, and always allow me to have full control over the dyne when tuning.. Its great to work along side them.. There are many garages I've used, people I've dealt with since 1997 and they are really at the Top of my list. If any of you have any doubts .then DONT.. you've no reason to.. take it from me... or batter still pop down and see for yourself or pick up the phone ... as BT say.. its good to talk

So your remap didn't cost 1500 quid and you didn't have dodgy coils on your car your doing it all wrong lmao.

Sorry wooden spoon was to hand.

Glad it all went well and some nice results. Make sure you get it up in the rogues and roses section

It's a thread that you can name somewhere you have had work done so people can use the section as a guide of where to go and where not to
