Rolling road remap near Atherton

Here is what a session at Manchester Dyno Centre looks like in practice.

Your car arrives at the facility on James Nasmyth Way, Eccles, Manchester. It goes straight onto the 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer. Samuel Gunnell runs a baseline power pass to establish where the car sits before any work begins, these figures are recorded and form the “before” side of the documented result.

Samuel reads the ECU using Kess3 or CMD hardware depending on the platform. He builds or modifies the calibration and puts the car back on the rollers. Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events are all visible in real time throughout every run. The calibration is adjusted on the rollers, not from a library file applied off-site, until the data confirms it is right for your specific engine.

The session ends when the numbers say it is done. You leave with documented before-and-after power figures showing the measured gain on your car, not a projected gain based on what similar vehicles typically achieve.

That is the process on every job, regardless of vehicle or budget.

ECU calibration (Stage 1), Software-only remap for petrol and diesel engines. No hardware required. Calibration built on the dyno against your engine's actual data.

ECU calibration (Stage 2), Requires supporting hardware to be already fitted: intercooler, performance air filter, exhaust. The map is built around your actual specification, not a standard Stage 2 template.

TCU calibration, Gearbox and DSG remap. Shift mapping adjusted to match the engine calibration. Covers both DSG units and traditional automatic gearboxes.

Rolling road session (power verification), Dyno runs with documented figures only. No calibration work, useful for baseline measurement or pre/post modification confirmation.

Launch control activation, Coded and activated for the specific platform. Not a generic setting.

Speed limiter recalibration, Available for vans and commercial vehicles.

Overrun and anti-lag (flame tune), Overrun calibration for enthusiast use. Legal use only.

Remote platform tuning, Bootmod3 (BM3) and MHD for BMW and Mini. Available remotely where the platform supports it. Stage 2 and complex work still requires a physical visit.
