Tuners in Oxford area

[HutchGlanzaV]

Just got my posting order thru, I'm off to Brize Norton in March. I know its a bit early but I thought I might as well ask. Does anyone know of any good rolling road tuners in the Oxfordshire area? I'm not gonna need anything crazy doing, just a SAFC/FCD set up.

Anyone got any experience?

Cheers peeps. hutch.

Well not Oxford exactly, about 20-30 minutes outside Oxford. Why run away Riko?

 

[riko666]

cause I'm there

Anyway, if I find anyone, I'll let you know too...really want to get the FPR dialled in

Nice 1. You know where Brize Norton is? Lucky Hutch gets posted to the busiest UK military airport! Working 2 days 2 nights 4 off though so can't complain! If you find anywhere mate let me know.

 

[riko666]

never heard of it...well, I think I haven't...I know there's a Military Base near Bicester which is around 15-20mins away from Oxford...

Bah, anyway, shall let you know - trouble is finding a place with a good reputation, it's all too easy to go into any Tom, Dick & Harry's Cowboy Tuning Garage

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

Yeah Bicester is a big supply depot, Brize is a bit further still. Do some asking for me dude, any info would be great.

Place called owen developments is about 10 miles from oxford, they specialise in jap turbos, and have a rolling road.

Very good by all accounts, I need to take mine there and stick it on the rolling road when I have a new clutch fitted.

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

Found them on the tintraweb, dropped em an email. You used them before Luke?

 

[Luke.R]

Nah I will be using them soon, but I have never heard anything bad about them.

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

Cool. Well I'm posted back to the UK in March mate. Let me know how they perform mate. Really gonna need my FCD/SAFC setting up when I get home but don't want a bunch of mugs doing it.

if you fancy a bit of a drive there is a place called cillford cox engineering in reading they deal with mr2's abit. they do lots of engine work and have a rolling road were realy helpfull when i was rebuilding my mates gt4 with him but they cant roll his car as its 4wd but rest of there services were spot on!

Hp = Torque * rpm / 5252

That torque figure is about right.Use this equation to very dybo graphs

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

Whats that gotta do with tuners in Oxford?

lol

It was at nearly 4am, someone had a few too many beers i think

 

[Adam_Glanza]

so it equals torque times revs divided by 5252 is that right?

wat does / is it divided

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

Wonder what time it was in Barbados when he posted? Whatever he was thinking its waaaay off topic! lol

 

[HutchGlanzaV]

/ is divide mate. I don't understand how thats useful though, if you know your torque figure I'd say its a safe bet that you've already been on the rollers so you'll have your HP figure anyway!

I have used Mark @ Owen Developments in the past for mapping/tuning of my old Supra running a t88 Setup , bit of a treck from Cumbria but the service i got there was the best i have experienced and i have used quite a few tuners now.

Also bought a TRD2000GT a year or so back which had been tuned by them , again very good.

So yes id certainly recommend them.

Thanks
