Tuning day in Nottinghamshire - Sat 9th Nov

[foxdie]

Hi all!

Here's the official thread continuing on from here, finalising the details and sounding out attendance

When

The event will be on Saturday 9th November 2013, starting at roughly 9:30 AM (give or take 30 mins) and going on until mid-late afternoon (5ish)

Where

This event will be at Area 52 Autosport in Nottinghamshire, the full address is as follows;

Area 52 Autosport
Unit 2 Park Court
Park Lane Business Park
Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Nottinghamshire
NG17 9LE

When driving towards the venue, be sure to obey the speed limit, Nottinghamshire is a for average speed checks and mobile speed traps, there were at least 2 people issued with fines for the last event. Please don't get caught out, it'll ruin your day.

When approaching the industrial estate, this (badly drawn by yours truly) map will show you where to go:



What

The main focus of the day will be dyno runs and tuning sessions. Those wanting a dyno run will be done in the morning, those wanting tuning sessions will be done in the afternoon. There's a list below of who is doing what.

There may also be a BBQ if some kind soul can supply / man one? I'll happily supply a few bob worth of meat. There'll also be some rather nice pies courtesy of @Davezj and a spread of sandwiches, biscuits, tea and coffee by the lovely Cheryl at A52. I'll also be bringing a shedload of snackage to help keep people happy.

No doubt the usual "lets quickly fix this" events will happen, always great to get fellow club members to help with a problem or vice versa

Not sure about any other events to host, if people have any ideas please throw them in

How (much)

Dyno runs will be £40 for a best-of-3 run, this will include a printout showing you power, torque, air-fuel ratio and boost. This will also include professional detcan (knock) monitoring too, so is a great way to get a health check for your cars engine

Simple tuning sessions will be £100 and encompasses around 20-30 minutes tuning time on a dyno, this is enough to safely get moderate gains in power (up to 10% more power and 15% more torque*) and will include a before-and-after dyno printout.

More complicated tuning sessions will start at around £150 and will encompass around 45 minutes on the dyno, this is a good solution for those who want to push things a bit further and get extended testing to see how things change over time (car gets hot etc), up to 15-20% gains in power and 30-40% gains in torque could be had*

Other services may be available on the day such as auto-electrical work, please ask in advance and keep in mind its expected to be a busy day

Its also conceivable that N/A V6 and auto-box tuning could be done on the day. Again, please ask in advance.

* Figures quoted are for 1996-2003 VR-4s and are entirely dependent on the health of your car and what supporting mods you've got. In addition, anyone getting any mapping work done will be required to sign a disclaimer, Area 52 Autosport will also not be responsible for the work being done on the day, they are just leasing their dyno and its operators.

Who

Attendance list and timetable: CVR4 Tuning Day - 2013-11-09

And there we go

Anyone thinks I've missed something, shout up!

[Chris.W]

I'm tempted by this. Is a bit of a treck tho (450miles approx).

Can't comit until closer to the time, would only be looking at the power run as don't want anyone fidling with the Vipec.

But as I can't confirm for another week or so, what would be the script if I just turned up? Would it be a case of squeeze in if there is space?

[ebo06]

Hi Jason just to confirm I'll be there for tuning and dyno.
Cheers

Morning hunny as stated in the other thread I will try to attend but it does depend on a couple of things

If I do it will be only to chat & a cuddle Jas

[elnevio]

[foxdie]

Like discussion and advice, man hugs are free

(Kissing and petting however, double my hourly rate )

[swinks]

Jason, I rather pop in for a good chat. Can't say defo, but it's 80% chances.

[foxdie]

List updated to this point

[Confused]

I'd be tempted to give the autobox mods a try - quicker shifts will always be appreciated!

As I said in the previous thread though, it's all highly experimental and could make the gearbox go bang or it could knock a second or two off the drag strip and run fine for years.

It's a massive unknown and I recommend those who can't afford the time and / or money to replace their autobox to skip this one.

[Confused]

Maybe I'll leave it then for now

[Colin Wiltshire]

I'll be up for the extended tune, if I need it.

Have had td04's put on

[foxdie]

Have had td04's put on

Ooh. OOH. Now thats gonna be a fun job!

[elnevio]

Put me down as a maybe, although I don't know how much time I will actually have before having to head to work on the Saturday, which will also depend on where I am working!


I have a 7203 ECU, but all I initially want is the standard map flashing to it, as it currently isn't standard, and I don't feel it suits my car and its mods.

All I will then do is whack it on the rolling road as it is.


I want see how it goes for a few months before revisiting further tuning.

Putting a standard map on it is 5 mins work. I can do this before you go on the rollers (or even just put it on NQA if you're in that much of a hurry). I'll put you down as a dyno only run for now unless you know you can have more time

[elnevio]

Sounds ideal. Even if I didn't go on the rollers, it would be preferable to start with stock again.

[swinks]

Jason, will they have free ramp to do some odd jobs?
I may need to replace downpipe and de-cat. Tune ebc afterwads maybe...
Can you get me quote?

[swinks]

I'll be up for the extended tune, if I need it.

Shall I bring your bonnet struts and speedo?
