Default Simtek Needed ASAP

Whats the quickest way for me to get a Simtek ECU fitted and mapped ?
Earliest Bob R can do it is April but its on a day i'm working.

Who else out there can do it ?

Simon aka Jolly Green Monster? Or you could take a trip to Plymouth and visit Engine Tuner, the drive back will be fun

I've heard good things about Engine Tuner - Alun Jefferies i believe his name is

How do i get in touch with JGM to get a date when he could do it ?
I've emailed Engine Tuner so just wait for a response now

Sorry to hear that Bob could not fit you in, I suppose that what comes on being in such demand.

Have you thought about Indigo-GT in Merthyr Tydfil as I am fairly sure they are Simtek agents as well.

Thumbs up

API Impreza can do it for you and get my vote. You'd have to ring David to check dates

You can PM Jolly Green Monster on here but he's mapping in Ireland at the mo! Good luck mate, I've had maps done by JGM and Martyn Jefferies and can recommend them both

Theres lots of mappers to choose from, David from API is also a Welsh favourite

Cheers Simon - email sent

Spoken to David in API also - David has once again given me very good advice

Launch control and anti lag might be scribbled off the shopping list

could be that it costs quite a bit more for something you will hardly ever use as they are more of a show off to your friends thing

i have anti lag and have never switched it on apart from showing off when stopped and just reving it for the sound if i had launch control it would never be on

both would be good tho if you intend to do sprints/ hill climbs/ racing and so on

if i had the money i would have them just to say i got them

I've been advised that the Anti-lag isn't too friendly to the engine
David in API has told me he can map the car so it pops

if used all the time its not to good for the turbo but can't see any other than that

i would not have him to map it so it pops as it's just a trick with timing/ fueling and may use more fuel

or get on your wick after awhile as there will be no way to stop it

just get anti lag that way you can just use it when you like and dose make a quicker car when driven hard

Aaah but the APi way does allow for selective pops and bangs. you can use them as you wish. but I'm not giving away a hard earned secret on here......
