Car remapping near Formby
Samuel Gunnell, over ten years remapping, internationally recognised, every job handled personally at the Eccles, Manchester facility.
The tuner
Samuel Gunnell has been remapping professionally for over ten years. His work is in demand well beyond the North West, his tuning files carry a reputation that extends 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. Formby drivers who make the journey to the Eccles facility are not passed to a junior technician. Samuel reads the ECU, builds or modifies the calibration, and runs the car on the 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer himself. Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events are all monitored throughout every run. The calibration is refined on the rollers until the data confirms it is right.
You leave with documented before-and-after power figures from your own engine, not an estimate based on what the model usually makes, and not a figure from a generic calibration file built for another car. Measured output, confirmed on the day, from your specific engine.
Why choose Manchester Dyno Centre
In-house 4WD dyno. The 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer at the Eccles facility is owned and operated by Manchester Dyno Centre. It is not shared with another workshop. Full 4WD capability means all-wheel-drive platforms are loaded correctly during power runs, something most UK rolling roads cannot do.
Professional-grade tooling. Kess3 and CMD hardware covers OBD and direct ECU access across a wide range of platforms. Not clone tools.
117Speed. Manchester Dyno Centre is operated by 117Speed, the most decorated remapping business in the North West.
Quoted individually. No published prices because no two jobs are the same. Every quote reflects the vehicle and the specific work required.
Services
Performance Stage 1 remap, power and torque gains from software alone, no hardware changes required. Stage 2 remap, calibration built around fitted modifications: intercooler, induction kit, exhaust. Launch control activation and flame and overrun tune are available for appropriate platforms.
Efficiency Economy remap, calibration adjusted to lower fuel consumption on standard driving cycles. Gearbox and DSG remap, shift patterns and clamping pressure aligned to match the engine output.
Measurement Rolling road session, a power run with before-and-after figures, without a remap. A useful starting point for any car with an unknown history or recent modifications fitted.
