WARNING REDLINE TUNING

[fostersice]

Warning

do not go to redline tuning

 

Ok so as u all know I have taken the car to redline

for a dyno and set up

they did a run and told me it was running rich on tick over

and lean on boost and was told they could not do anything with if it unless I have a new engine loom and stand alone management system

this was at a cost of £1350 plus coilpack and leads

so over £1500.

 

When I said about setting he'd up I was told there is no point until

they had fitted the new loom and management,

 

bare in mind I did say that the car needs setting up as all parts have just been bolted on and not set up

 

So got on to talking to joe from gsmotorsports

 

And then went to him with the car

after

setting the fuel reg from 2bar to 3.5bar

setting the timing and dizzy up

putting new plugs in

setting up the -31 actuator

and co2 and idle

she is like a rocket

 

She is only set to 0.9bar of boost on low boost on the controller

 

£180 job done

 

As I am running a l1 ecu with 330bhp chip he was limited to tuning her

 

But if I get a L6 ecu he can custom chip her for me

£100 ecu £100 for the chip

 

so if up want any work done Joe is your man

GSMOTORSPORTS

 

So if redline had fitted a new loom and new management

they would have still and the some problem as before

as they won't still have not set anything up

 

I'm sure there are good if you have a car that's running right and just needs a dyno

 

but it you want a job fond right mmmmmm

 

sorry redline but £110 to do a run and mug me off?????

 

So credit where credit is due

 

THANKS JOE @ GSMOTORSPORTS

I know it's hard times, but some firms will try it on.

Good on yer for trying elsewhere first.

[fostersice]

I was told to call him and right away I know lol

 

He asked all the right things

 

and when I said I had a L1 ECU he told I should wait and get a L6 ecu as he can tune it better.trying to save me time and money

 

The thing is

 

How many poeple don't try some where else

and end up having there arses raped???

 

I even said I was told to go the from guys on osf

 

If they had said sorry we can't tune your system you need

this for us to set it up I would have be more understanding

 

we live and learn

 

And just wanted to pass on THE GOOD (gsmotorsport) and THE BAD (redline tuning)

[rallyesport04]

L8 is even better

[105Ian]

Joe from GSMotosport built the engine for my Anglia , and he has done an absoulte top job of it .

I have been in the motor trade for over 25 years myself and have to say Joe is one of the most knowledegable people I have ever meet what he does not know about tunning and mapping Cosworths is not worth knowing .

I gave his number to Pelvins of here and he is also over the moon with the job Joe done for him , and by the sounds of it so are you .

[Vista]

Joe is well known and highly recommended over the road on TS, if he wasn't a ten day camel hike from me down here in Cornwall I would probably asked him to build my engine too.

[SmokeEm]

Sounds to me like Driver needs this guys number......

[fostersice]

07940181847

07944379611

 

both his numbers

[fostersice]

L8 is even better

 

i did ask joe about the L8 and he said just get a L6 as it will be the best for want im going to be running

 

and as if the day i met joe there is only one man working on my car so what he says go's lol

[tommyGTR]

hi Gents i have used Redline several times and have nothing but good things to say he is currently carring out a full engine management install on my twin turbo LSX ultima GTR and i have lots of friends who use him for full race cars with good results! Rich is a very clever bloke who will be honest with everyone. the fact that he is currently booking 3 months in advance and has a motorsport clients list as long as your arm should tell you enough! i know for a fact he does not do mapping on L1,L6,L8 or P8 and will only set it up to a point if there is potential problems that would take up to much time to trace he will try and suggest other options usually stand alone system that he can map and satisfy the customers requirements. hope this helps and please dont judge on one persons experiance which only tells one side of the story.

[fostersice]

He was told before booking the car had to be set up as everything had been bolted on

 

If he could not set up the car why try on dyno it and charge £110

 

I'm not saying the guy is shit and I'm sure he is the nuts with stand alone systems

 

The problem was and is

 

I wanted the car set up and then dyno'd

 

It needed setting up first but was told it needs £1500 spent on it

 

When in fact all it needed was setting up

 

To be fair if I had met him before having my wiring done. Would have had him do it

 

But the fact is

if I was told sorry I can't do it I would have found someone who could and then had it dyno'd by them

[tommyGTR]

i agree i doubt it needed 1500 spent on it but for him to be happy what he is giving you back he will suggest an upgrade to a much more modern and controlable system that runs rings round the old webber morrelli stuff. if you way it up you could prob sell all your old stuff for not far off that amount as the old stuff still comands big money. 1500 for a mapped stand alone system aint a bad price!

[fostersice]

£1500 is a good price but not when it only cost £150 to have it set up

again all I want is to have it so I can drve it

if it was a case of turn this here and turn that there this will get u on the road but you really should have this then fine

 

But sorry you have a big problem you need to rewire the car and then so on. That's £110 and not even try and set anything up

 

the point is

 

As you said he can't set up l1 to l8 ecu so why book it in

as this was the point of doing it having the car set up not the dyno!

 

£110 it's not a cheap fook up the arse is it

 

 

and as it only cost £150 with a money back if your not happy from GS MOTORSPORTS

I even gave a £30 drink as I was so happy just to be able to enjoy

driving the car.

 

 

 

THAT SPEAKS FOR ITS SELF
