Car remapping near Heywood
Samuel Gunnell has been remapping engines professionally for over ten years. Every job at Manchester Dyno Centre in Eccles is handled personally by him, on an in-house 4WD Bapro dynamometer.
The tuner
Samuel Gunnell is the lead tuner at Manchester Dyno Centre. He has been remapping professionally for over ten years, and his work is recognised beyond the UK, he is in demand internationally for the quality of his calibration files and the results he produces for the vehicles he works on.
What that means for Heywood drivers is straightforward: every job at this facility is handled personally by Samuel. There is no junior technician applying a file while he is occupied elsewhere. There is no remote delivery of a calibration without verification. Samuel is present for every session, reading the ECU, developing the calibration, and running the car on the 4WD Bapro dynamometer until the data confirms the map is right.
He works across petrol and diesel, from commuter remaps to full Stage 2 performance builds. The 4WD Bapro dynamometer is his working method, fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events are all monitored live, and the calibration is refined on the rollers before you leave.
Why choose Manchester Dyno Centre
