Getting an Andy F remap next week, just wandered where i could take it for a dyno print out, to see a power graph and figures...

Near Glasgow would be nice

shocker

dastek - 08453454045 - just a few miles over bridge from andy
you wont need figures you will feel the difference after andy has worked his magic

I'd stick to DAstek Rollers, or Star performance up in Glenrothes. (think thats where they are)

GazTheHat

No, i went direct. After the episode i had at Greersport this week, i wont be going back there!!

GazTheHat

I think those are the two Andy mentioned. Right, better get some idea where they are and prices. I'm interested to see what he managed to squeeze out of my setup and FYI: It now goes like stink!!

Rice Rocket..

I've tried AVA, Star Performance and Dastek, and had my gf's Volvo T4, my Rover Turbo, the Scoob and my old Rover 214 used on one or more of the aforementioned rollers over the last few years.

Out of them I'd definately recommend Dastek. AVA are far too hard on a car on the rollers IMO, the stepped method of running them is totally unnecesary IMO and has the car on the rollers for 3,4,5 times as long as it normally takes to do one sweep through the rev range as with inertia runs on other rollers.

Star I found ok apart from the fan was a bit small IMO, and also the transmission losses seemes a tad extreme, though this was at their old location in Glenrothes before they moved to Kircaldy.

Recently I've only been on at Dastek as they are the best rollers I've used and not that far away, couple of times with the Rover, couple of times with the gf and her Volvo, and then had the Sti on the other week there (291bhp) , Power FC by Andy F very soon hopefully so will be good to get another figure and see how much I've gained from that. Gerry is also spot on, always willing to discuss how the car is etc and knows his stuff.

If you can wait until September there will be a rolling road day at Dastek organised through the SIDC. Much cheaper that way and a sholder to cry on if you're not pleased with the results.

Dastek is the place to go Daz. Trust me!!!

On an industrial estate at Dalgety Bay 10 minutes from the North side of the Forth Bridge.

GazTheHat

Dastek it is then, i'll have to get in touch with 'em.

Dastek give very similar results to the TEG sport rollers which are Dyno Dynamics.

cozzie_man

not that they are anywhere near you but if in aberdeen ive used wallace performance and found them to be good, they are mentioned in this months jap performance mag for doing up a 500bhp evo6

GazTheHat

Aberdeen is miles away for me. Went to Dastek the other week, made: 310/275 with 1.35 bar. Was initially disappointed by the figures, but then found from others that that was good, as Dastek is very accurates & does not bloat the figures. Others lost 20bhp and 60lb/torque, which is where i thought it would be.

Figures-schmigures.

I had my car down at AVA when I 1st got it (naive of me it was years ago).

Completely std it made 190ish bhp at the wheels lol. Then they told me they would drop the compression with a spacer plate and fit a fuel computer for more power (on an otherwise std car).

When I questioned the possibility of mapping the response was. - Subaru have spent millions mapping the ecu, therfor it must be spot on. -

This was 4 years ago. I've never been back.

The rollers at AVA are much larger than those used on most rolling roads so theres less power lost in the tyre/roller interface where most of the 'transmission losses' occur. When I was there they reckoned about 40-50hp difference between the roller reading and flywheel and not the 90 or so most rollers give.

Cant say I was much impressed by them though.

GazTheHat- Intrested to hear what happen at Greers mate.I use them all the time ,and yes there has been a couple of hic-ups but have to say have more than made up for it in other ways.
They have been extremely busy recently and mistakes do happen.
Still curious to know what happened. Scotty

GazTheHat

I'm not gonna dig up the past, there's a thread in here if you want to read it. Search for "greer" i guess, that will probably bring it up. And yes they were nice people.

danbenche123

Go to Jap-Performance in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. He's recently added a 50 thousand pound double rolling road in-stall with full print.
I think he charges 60 ish for a dyno

GazTheHat

180 miles away from me, too far.

Went to Dastek in the end, good bunch there so will be going back.

st3ph3n

Gaz, there's a charity RR day at Dastek in September. Thread over on the scottish section of the SIDC about it. Get yourself signed up!

GazTheHat

I seem to remember reading something about that. Yeah, i'll get on over.

Cheers for the heads up!

Anyone been over there yet? Never heard of them till saw an ad in j.perf. Any experiences/had mapping/history of owners/company would be good....

A load of us were there at the beginning of July, seemed a well set up place
