Car remapping near Middleton
Samuel Gunnell leads every session at Manchester Dyno Centre in Eccles, Manchester. Ten years of professional tuning, one in-house 4WD Bapro dyno, no handoffs.
The tuner
Samuel Gunnell has been remapping professionally for over ten years. He is the lead tuner at Manchester Dyno Centre, operating out of a 6,000 sq ft facility in Eccles, Manchester, and his work is in demand well beyond the North West. For Middleton drivers, that level of experience is accessible in under 25 minutes.
Every job at Manchester Dyno Centre is handled personally by Samuel. There is no junior technician loading a file while the lead tuner is elsewhere. There is no remote file delivery where someone emails you a calibration written for a similar car. Samuel is in the facility, on the dyno, monitoring your car throughout the session.
His working method is the 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer. During every session he monitors fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events in real time. The calibration is adjusted on the rollers until the data confirms it is right. Middleton customers leave with a power figure measured from their own engine, not an estimate based on what a car like theirs usually makes.
Why choose Manchester Dyno Centre
In-house 4WD dyno. The Bapro dynamometer at the Eccles facility belongs to Manchester Dyno Centre. It is not shared with another workshop or rented by the day. Every session is conducted on the same equipment, under the same conditions, by the same tuner.
Professional-grade hardware. ECU read and write is handled via Kess3 and CMD. These are not clone tools. Kess3 covers OBD-port tuning on a wide range of platforms; CMD covers bench work where the ECU is physically removed. Using sub-standard hardware introduces read errors that corrupt calibrations at the source.
117Speed operating name. Manchester Dyno Centre operates under the 117Speed name, the most decorated remapping business Manchester has to offer. The reputation attached to that name is the standard every job here is held to.
Quoted on enquiry. No prices are published because no two jobs are the same. The quote is for your vehicle and the work it actually requires.
