When driving towards the venue, be sure to obey the speed limit, Nottinghamshire is a :furious4: for average speed checks and mobile speed traps, we've had members attending previous events issued with fines by the local BIB. 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 (is it)
The main focus of the day will be dyno runs and tuning sessions. Most of the dyno runs will be done in the morning and most of the tuning sessions done in the afternoon. This is subject to change as people's requirements change. Attendance list and timetable can be found here: Club VR-4 Area 52 Autosport Timetable
As usual, there's bound to be lots of delicious grub on the go including tea and coffee, I'll be bringing Krispy Kreme donuts too!
Like previous events, this is a perfect time to get little bits and bobs sorted out with your car, there'll be plenty of members willing to lend a hand with something fixed :thumbsup:
Again like last time, anyone want any other events hosted on the day, just shout up :)
How (much)
Dyno shootouts will be £65 (£55 if we get more than 4 cars) for a best-of-3 run, complete with a printout showing you power, torque, air-fuel ratio and boost. It also includes professional detcan (knock / pink) monitoring as well so it's a great way to get a health check for your cars engine :thumbsup:

A full breakdown of the pricing can be found on the the Club VR-4 Area 52 Autosport Timetable link below along with the schedule. If you're wondering how much time you think you need, 15 minutes was around the sweet spot for a quick power boost, those wanting more complicated tuning (better cruise fuel economy for example) would be looking at around 1 hour. All tuning sessions will include a before-and-after dyno printout too.
What (can we expect)
Quick tunes can typically expect roughly 10-15% gains of power and 15-20% gains in torque, more complicated tunes (particularly those with supporting mods ie. fuelling / decat / filters) may see as much as 15-20% gains in power and 30-40% gains in torque. Actual results may differ as every car is different, for example some have been better maintained than others & some have supporting modifications where others do not.
Please note 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.
All customer ECU's are backed up before any work is done, if you're not satisfied your backup will be restored free of charge (subject to travel etc).
Other services may be available on the day such as workshop space and auto-electrical work, please ask in advance if you require these and keep in mind its expected to be a busy day :)
We can also do N/A "V6 Sport" and INVECS-II Auto-box tuning. Please ask in advance.
