Default Massive Thanks To Alan and Martyn At Enginetuner

Massive thanks to Alan, Martyn and all the staff at Enginetuner for the work they have completed on my car. After many, many pms to both Alan and Martyn I finally approached them to build me a long engine based on their outstanding knowledge and reputation. The brief was a fast, torquey road car with occasional track use based on a 2.35 block which most of the details can be found in my build thread. Last week I collected the car for its running in period and I returned this week for the final mapping. The guys checked the car over once again, changed the oil and Martyn finished off wiring the Toucan. Even though the garage was mega busy the guys corrected a couple of minor issues they had found and Martyn spent nearly and entire day mapping the car with a variety of maps on both vpower and meth, only stopping to allow the car to cool and to take me to the burger van for a sausage butty and a coke courtesy of Alan. Just goes to show at any age its still viable to take money off your parents . The car is running super safe maps, injector duty is 50%, boost is 1.9 bar and redline is 8000. The Kelford 264 cams, ported heads and oversize valves that Alan specced allows the car to come on boost so much sooner and its blistering on the road. If you are looking for an engine build, work done to your car, advice or mapping look no further. I will be back to these guys when I need more work done and they are 450 miles from me and an 8 hour drive. If you want service, it pays to travel to find it.

Car makes

554.2bhp/520lbs on vpower
600.6bhp/570lbs on vpower + 16% meth

Extremely happy, time to drive it now.

Here's a few pics from the trip.

Agree with the above. Issues with Alkatek have pushed my collection date for my 2.1. Cannot wait to collect. You must be very excited with the final spec. Communications are a real strength at ET. Good people to do business with.
