Car remapping near Droylsden
Samuel Gunnell, lead tuner at Manchester Dyno Centre, handles every job personally at the Eccles facility, no exceptions, no handoff to a junior.
The tuner
Samuel Gunnell has been remapping professionally for over ten years. His reputation extends well beyond Greater Manchester, his tuning files are in demand internationally, and he is recognised within the performance tuning industry for the quality of what he produces.
Every job at Manchester Dyno Centre is handled by Samuel personally. There is no junior technician loading a pre-built file while the lead tuner attends to something else. Samuel runs the session from start to finish: reading the ECU, building or modifying the calibration, and confirming it against real power figures on the 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer.
The dyno is central to how he works. Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events are all visible in real time during every run. The calibration is adjusted on the rollers until the data confirms it is right. You leave with measured before-and-after output from your own engine, not an estimate based on what a car like yours typically makes. That level of involvement is not common from any remapping service in the Droylsden area.
Why choose Manchester Dyno Centre
In-house 4WD dyno. The 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer at the Eccles facility is not shared with another workshop. It is on-site, available for every job, and capable of loading all-wheel-drive platforms correctly, which most rolling roads in the region cannot do.
Professional-grade hardware. Kess3 and CMD tooling covers OBD and bench-level ECU access across a wide range of platforms. These are not clone tools.
117Speed. Manchester Dyno Centre is operated by 117Speed, widely regarded as the most decorated remapping business in the North West.
Quoted individually. No published prices because no two jobs are the same. Every quote is specific to the vehicle and the work required. A short call is all it takes to get a figure.
Services
Performance Stage 1 remap, software-only gain in power and torque, no hardware changes required. Stage 2 remap, calibration matched to fitted hardware such as an intercooler, induction kit, or exhaust. Launch control activation and flame and overrun tune available for appropriate platforms.
Efficiency Economy remap, calibration adjusted to reduce fuel consumption on standard driving cycles. Gearbox and DSG remap, shift patterns and clamping pressure mapped to match the engine output, preventing the transmission from limiting gains at the engine.
Measurement Rolling road session, a power run with before-and-after figures, without a remap. Useful for establishing a baseline or verifying existing work on a car with unknown history.
Specialist platforms Remote tuning via Bootmod3 (BM3) and MHD for BMW and Mini platforms where the calibration can be delivered and flashed remotely.
