Nissan 200SX S14
Yup, we was road mapping mine to the dyno, at the dyno, and then back after doing a load of other cars. I think we finished tweaking it at about 3am!
It was mapped previously by a \\"well recommended\\" mapper, but it was like a new car after the remap!
3 of my mates have been to him too, and all been very impressed with the dyno results and service!

Nissan 200SX S13
Another very satisfied customer here, transformed the car when the S13 with the waaaayyy to big Ebay super T70 on the RB25DET came on boost on the M25 and then proceeded to spin up the wheels in 4th gear @ 4500 rpm I was WELL impressed !
Next mapping will DEFINATELY be with Steve again (Even if I live 600 miles away in another country)

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR
Cant stress enough how impressed i was with the service i got from Steve on mapping my RB26 R34.
Took loads of time setting up on the rollers and then came with me to pod and back for a road tweeking sessions that really transformed the power delivery and the fuel economy.
Always at the end of the phone for friendly honest advice.
He really is a mapping Ninja.

Vauxhall Astra Turbo
My astra has just been mapped by steve...and if im not mistaken it was his first vauxhall. The head went a while ago running 2bar on stock 1 piece vaux turbo so with no previous mechanical or electrical knowledge I started to strip and rebuild my engine. I added an s14 tubular "ram" exhaust manifold, cutting and welding to a vauxhall head flange. I then mated this up with a GT28RS turbo and with custom intake pipes and exhaust the car was ready to be tuned. I took it to a well known company and the figures seemed really good. 360 bhp and 373ft/lb.
I have a good friendship with Bobby B (uncle Bob) and had the car booked in at Hayes Engineering (Erith) before I had even had my map just to make sure everything was safe. Turned out the fuelling was terrible!!!!!! Anyway...I asked steve what I would need and after attempting to run haltech interceptor decided with Omex 600. Once again...attempted this and I got it all running (and I still don't know how to use a multimeter properly!! haha)
I trailered the car to Hayes Engineering as although it would start and idle, the Cosworth 3 bar bap sensor and other components I had to change were not working together. (Had to do away with electric FBW throttle for cable one, OE map sensor went, and standard coil was replaced for wasted spark setup (EDIS setup) with magnecor leads.
Steve plugged into the omex sat morning (6th march) and instantly got the car to idle properly. Drove it onto DynoTech rollers and started the tune. 1.5 hours later (after a boost pipe popping off twice the fuelling map, and ignition map were set up. We then started upping the boost and found out that the actuator that came with the turbo was shagged (after trying to run 1.8 bar constantly).The figures were still pretty impressive and the drive is so smooth (although it just spins!!) Made 260bhp and about 300ft/lb @ 0.4 bar. Just ordered a HKS adjustable actuator which i will set to 1.1Bar to hopefully hold 1.3 - 1.4 bar!! Cant wait for more torque. I would not trust my car with ANYONE else now after being to so all of the "top" tuners for my manufacturer.
Steve...I cant thank you enough for all the patience you have shown me during my project. Especially with the Haltech interceptor. Steve...I'll see you as soon as I get my new actuator, and Bob...probably pop down this weekend!! If you have not already been "FC TUNED"...what are you waiting for!!', ''),

Been in touch with Steve for over a year now, and have had nothing but a positive experience....cant praise him enough for his hard work and knowledge. Would recommend him to anyone who wants there car tuned! Cant wait to bring the Silvia back with a few no goodies and see if we can get even more out of it.

After having my car for 4 years I decided to start modifying it. So after much deliberating, it was decided to swap the 140 1ZZ VVT-i engine for a 190 2ZZ VVTL-i engine. This was on top of having a Rotrex C30/94 Supercharger fitted with 95mm pulley, low compression, Stage 3 head, Apexi Power FC and small intercooler all custom work from Se7en Motorsports based in Coventry. The car was then Dyno’ed by Protuner as this is Se7en Motorsports regular tuner. The car made 312bhp running a safe tune as it was discovered (at the cost of a fellow Celica driver) that the engine bearings needed to be upgraded.
So just over 12 months later with up rated bearings, larger intercooler, LSD, performance manifold, fuel return system, up rated MAF & 2.5” custom exhaust., it was finally due to hit the dyno again. Due to money constraints, I needed to find a local tuner as I’m based in Medway. I was put in touch with Steve who was extremely helpful. We exchanged numerous details about the setup of the car before hitting the dyno.
Thanks to Steve she made a very impressive 368bhp, but sadly due to a cheap FPR that I purchased, Steve needed to pull her back a little to ensure the unit would not fail until I could source a replacement.
Steve is a top guy who is willing to share his knowledge, experience and advice. He showed me exactly how my car was running throughout the rev range. I couldn’t recommend him more highly and can’t wait to get him back to him with the new FPR.
Great to meet you Lee and thanks for your interest in my brand FC Tuning. I look forward to seeing the car back with the new Fuel Pressure Regulator.. Its also nice to add a brand new section to my site – 2ZZ-GE. Ill no doubt expect to see a few more pop up over time once folk see yours.. and congratulations to Se7en Motorsports for the build. Nice to see something different as to the usual Mitsubishi’s, Nissans, Mazdas etc etc that I see day in day out.. When you get the new FPR gimme a shout.
