Car remapping Ramsbottom
Samuel Gunnell, lead tuner with over ten years of professional experience, handles every job at the Eccles, Manchester facility. Approximately 35 to 40 minutes from Ramsbottom and worth the journey.
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. His calibrations have earned him an international reputation in performance tuning circles, he is not a technician loading someone else's files. He builds the maps himself.
For Ramsbottom drivers prepared to make the trip, every job is handled personally by Samuel. There is no handoff to a junior, no remote file delivery from a third party. He reads the ECU, builds or modifies the calibration on the day, and runs the car on an in-house 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer until the data confirms the work is right. Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing, and knock events are all monitored live throughout every run.
You leave with documented before-and-after power figures. That level of direct involvement is not common at any price point.
Why choose Manchester Dyno Centre
In-house 4WD Bapro dyno. The dynamometer at the Eccles facility is not shared with another business. It is available for every job, and it is a full 4-Wheel-Drive unit, able to load all-wheel-drive platforms that a 2WD rolling road cannot.
Professional-grade equipment. All tuning is carried out using Kess3 and CMD hardware, not clone tools, not budget readers. This covers both OBD and bench read-write, giving access to a wide range of ECU platforms.
117Speed pedigree. Manchester Dyno Centre operates under the 117Speed name: the most decorated remapping business Manchester has produced. The credentials behind the facility are not a marketing line.
No published prices. Every job is quoted on the vehicle and work required. That is not evasion, it reflects the fact that no two sessions are the same.
Services
Performance tuning. Stage 1 remap (software-only, petrol and diesel), Stage 2 remap (matched to your hardware fit), launch control coding and activation, flame tune for controlled overrun character.
Efficiency work. Economy remap for improved fuel consumption on everyday routes. Gearbox and DSG remap to tighten shift behaviour and match the transmission to the engine calibration.
Measurement. Rolling road session on the 4WD Bapro dyno for a documented power figure. Useful as a standalone baseline before or after other work, or as a reference point before a remap booking.
Specialist. Remote platform tuning via Bootmod3 (BM3) and MHD for BMW and Mini owners. Speed limiter removal for vans and commercial vehicles where operationally required.
