mobile mapping
 

I've been looking into how to get my car remapped, been on a few websites, some seem to offer just a basic programe that is loaded to your ecu which is not what i need.

Been thinking about mobile mapping, how does that work?

As i know alot of mappers using rolling roads

Other mappers have said just drop the car off, which will not be happing i trust no one with my Impreza where it goes i go :D

Mobile mapping can either happen on the (private :norty: ) road or dyno, or a mix of both.
I know Dynamix does road and dyno mapping, and also has set days at certain RR venues, and Paul @ Zen also does dyno and road mapping where individual appointments can be arranged. Otherwise just talk to one of the mobile guys and see what arrangements they offer.

So they can come to my house and remap my car on (private) roads? :D

Yep :thumb:

Do you know the average cost? And anyone in midlands area

most travel nationwide around 300-350

Cost depends on what sort of mapping you require.
I can only offer a very rough estimate, but first time EcuTek for instance can be around £550, but open source mapping can be around £300-ish.
You really need to speak to a good mapper about your individual requirement and see what the current charges are.
Try RaceDynamix, Zen, JGM and see what they say.

Ok cheers for info

Who's had mobile mapping done?

I've had mobile mapping done by Bob Rawle

:thumb:

How did you find it? Just a quick run down so know what to expect :thumb:

He set the car up with sensors etc, we found a (private) road and I followed his instruction on how to drive. we pulled over turned off the car then back on a few times, presumably to refresh changes and carried on until he was happy, mine was just a running map as I had just built a new engine.

Oh so he just loaded a map on your car not made a map for your mods?

Most mapping is a custom job to suit your car and driving style.
A mapper will give you what you want (or need) within reason. If you need a safe running in map, then that's what you'll get and it probably won't take very long or cost a great deal, especially if it's a standard ecu set up. They will have a library of suitable maps for a quick upload wih a little refinement for individual requirements.
If, on the other hand, you need a Syvecs setting up from scratch to handle big power on multiple maps with all the bells and whistles such as A/L, L/C, in gear boost control,and then add Methanol on top for good measure, perhaps with NoS as well, then you can expect it to take a bit longer, and probably cost more too.
You really need to speak to a mapper and tell them what you (think you) want :D

Mine was mapped yesterday by Andrew of teamcarr.net

Top guy. I dropped mine down at Matty at mbdevelopments near wolverhampton and he came there to map it. Latest carberry rom with all the bells and whistles :thumb:

Cheers blue, did you just drive the mapper around birchy?

No Jay. Andrew is very hands on and much prefers to drive so he can have a feel for how the car is responding to tweaks to make sure it has the best drivability possible :thumb:

+1 for Andrew carr of teamcarr.net. Handed him the keys and he came back about 1.5 hours later. Car is loads better now. He also offers lots of extras. Not in that way tho :lol1:

Lol no way will I be handing my keys over to anyone. Cheers for info bud

+1 for bob rawle

I've personally never handed my keys to anybody, it's always been myself driving when mapping is carried out. Another vote for bob as well although there are plenty of good guys out there :)

+2 for Bob Rawle

Jay where are you based?

Group mapping days reduce the cost of having your car mapped, if there is someone local to you who organises such events then id opt for this

The mapper will come to you's and map say 4-5 cars in a day

I can travel any where in west Midlands. Well have to keep eye on local forums

Arent API near you, im sure they have a resident mapper that goes to them, dont think they are far from you ?

Who - Francis :lol1:

Not a clue bud

Had my car mapped by Andrew Carr in June, just before a long trip to the Nurburgring for a two day track day. The car worked flawlessly for both days, pulled hard all day, for two days, without any problems.

Great guy and the car felt much better after he mapped it. I definitely recommend him.

Matt.

Took my p1 to paul at zen.he road mapped it.he plugs all his gadgets in and takes it for rd mapping..two weeks later i had it dynoed running 289whp..so roughly 340bhp...car drives awesome

I will be after a map in October and im based in Manchester :) I would like my car to be mapped by JGM but he is miles away from me

Any Road Mappers in or near Nottingham?
