250 Engine Dynamics vs RS Tuning

I would be going to Paul, he knows these things really well, i believe he worked with or for Renault at one point

 

i had my engine rebuilt last summer by engine dynamics, i haven't had any problems with it so far.

they also remapped it

 

Another big vote for Engine Dynamics here. As you say, Andy is really helpful and really knows his stuff - especially on the mapping side.

 

Does Andy actually do the mapping in house now?
He always used to farm it out to henk.
I know last year or so he said that henk wasnt really interested any more so was looking for alternatives (I enquired about getting larger injectors mapped in and they couldnt do them back then).
Thats why maps were never done in a day as he had to send and recieve info to and from henk (had my old cammed clio mapped their)

I’ve only known him and ED for a couple of months but understood/stand that he does the mapping in-house. Strange, as the things we’ve discussed in person were not the things a ‘simple’ downloader would know to discuss.

 

my map from RS tuning has been on the car for 6 years..never missed a beat.
Dont know engine dynamics procedure,but i drove all the way from south west england to leeds.

power run to start with to check everything was in order before map was uploaded.
then map tweaked on the rollers.

night and day difference..100% reliable...

what more can you ask for?

 

He always used to log the data on the RR then send it off to be fettled with and re upload it.

I haven't been down their in a good few years though.

Although last time I spoke he said that he was on the lookout for a new mapper as henk wasnt interested anymore and was taking ages to send the iterations etc.

Andy is a good bloke knows his stuff been in the renault tuning world for.years, used to be bbpt before engine dynamics. One of the first in the uk to turbo a clio

Don’t get too bothered about gains per £, it’s the science behind the map that’s important. Superchips gave a great increase but then when their map was investigated it was found they’d only made literally a couple of changes. ED limit the bhp/ftlb at what they do so as to give some safety and longevity to the rest of the drivetrain.


Next time I speak with Andy I’ll ask him the honest question about who does the mapping. It doesn’t really bother me though who does it as long as it’s done properly.


ED and RST both get really good feedback so it’s up to you who you take your car to, ED is obviously much nearer to you and if you were to go there I know you will be pleased, much as you would if you went to RST.

 

No im the same.I trust andy and his work. As said before he used to.use henk who is regarded as one of the best in the world for mapping renaults. Although never really gets much of a.mention over here

No not at all, henk is really well regarded, he was always really popular on cliosport, the aussie forums use him a lot for the Megan's too but hes never really got much coverage over here. Paul at rstuning uses his remote mapping interface. Theres been comparisons on the other megane forum between the two maps etc etc.

Some people complain about his customer service but I've always found him spot on. It.may be down to english not being his first language??

Personally id use whatever works out cheaper/ most convenient!

Go for RS Tuning. Forget any politics or naffed off dudes with unjustifiable preferences and stick with the experience and proven results.

 

Wagner intercooler, K&N panel filter, full Scorpion exhaust with sports-cat produced 314bhp and 340ftlb.

 

engine dynamics mapped my 630cc injectors

 

Its a massive improvement, it's not an unruly beast by any means as it's still happy to pootle about but when you want it to it can be seriously quick!!! The superchips map gave good headline figures but it felt very boosty, whereas the ED map feels very smooth.

 

Another thumbs up for Andy at ED he mapped both my mk3 and a friends. Both cars run great daily here and on the Nordschleife/GP track!

We had the same dilemma about where to go as I'm down south too.. Naturally neither tuners will disappoint and both map the cars properly.

 

My car is mapped by RS Tuning and I live in Hampshire so it's a four or five hour drive but worth it imo.

Good thing about Paul is if you want the map changing because you've done other mods he only charges for dyno time.

 

Had my car mapped at both, prefer Engine Dynamics just because they are closer! Either are great!

In that case Engine Dynamics! No brainer!!! You will not be disappointed [emoji16]

im in the same boat, im in cambridge and im un sure how to go for atm.

 

I just looked where engine dynamics are, thats my mind sorted

 

I’m not in any way anti-RST as I’ve never spoken to them or been there or heard anything other than good things about them, but am very pro-Engine Dynamics as have had quite a bit of work done there and Andy is genuinely extremely helpful before, during and also after the work - he has given me lots of free advice on other things since I’ve last had any work done there. As he’s more local to you than RST it’s a no brainer.

 

I went for the Wagner and bought it direct as got free postage for doing so, was actually really easy to fit.

 

Is tdf still going? They use rs tuning files and are based in kimbolten which isnt far from cambridge, they did me 197.

 

TDF went bust years ago, Matt Faulks was a great auto engineer but unfortunately a poor business man.

 

There website is still active

 

He runs x-F1 cars for a client racing in Boss GP and some endurance GT stuff. Based at Bedford Aerodrome.

 

I just Googled it and so he does! TDF 'tuning' went bust a few years ago. I had a lot of work done there on my previous 172 track car and saw it slowly fold. Glad though he's back on his feet as he was personally a great guy and really knows his stuff!

 

I drove from Stevenage to rst without a second thought.

 

Plus a well proven and extensive track record and depth of knowledge on the RS Meganes counts for a lot.

Convenience and a saving a few £ wouldn't be a criteria when ultimately you just want the best map you can get.
