Why did you sell it mate? Surely Andy could have sorted the map for you for better results? Did the car feel better and quicker when you had the pred put on?

Bedford126 · 5th November 2011, 21:22

Mate why did you sell up Rs tuners could have mapped it on there RR. My mate had his mapped by paul there not so long ago and made pretty good gains.

If there based in Leeds I phoned them and as soon as I mentioned the predator he wanted to get off the phone as quick as he could.

They are shit on the phone mate better to go talk in person or just go talk to paul there mapper. They can map pred's and i think they just got the software for the dastec unichips too.

I was on phone with them for ages mate had a good chat with them and they said the first mistake I made was buying the predator as they said a car needs to be mapped and have the cam timing set up while been rolling roaded not just some guy sat in your car mapping it while you drive it.
They told me they won't touch the predator due to the software that's on it but said they would map my standard Ecu.

ldavies · 5th November 2011, 21:39

Also I've phoned at least 15 garages / tuners up this week and soon as I mention I've got a pred they can't wait to get off the phone.
Everyone of them has told me the mistake I made was buying the predator.
I'm going to Wayne at chip wizards for a re map etc.

It use the MS software which many mappers use that software at some point, no it not many mappers most like software but still very widely used.

I couldn't find one person that would touch it.
I'm guessing you must have one of the predators as you come across that you don't want anything negative said about it IMO.

AndySAXO^p · 5th November 2011, 22:12

No not saying that, but I know of many places that will map it, and i have had no problems with it at all never missed a beat.

I am going to selling mine soon though because I want to get rid over my old loom and have nice new plugs and loom

But if I didn't want to do that I would defo stay with the predator,

Look forward to the nice chipwizard results anyway.

ldavies · 7th November 2011, 19:16

Okay guys after selling the predator standalone I have done a lot of searching and contacting places and I've managed to find someone that will map my standard 1 plug Ecu. Thought only Wayne at chip wizards could do this but seems I've found someone else, plus there cheaper and they will be setting my cam timing up properly and will map the car while on the RR this time.

No idea mate just in the process now of upgrading my cooling system ie new radiator and then time to get a map done while on the rollers.
Hopefully the outcome will be much different.

toger13 · 11th November 2011, 19:38

you power figures will be alot lower if it was dynoed in 5th gear there was prob nothing wrong with your old ecu

Well just bought a nissens radiator to help keep things cooler in the engine bay and spoke to Wayne today at chip wizards who is going to live map my car while on the rollers as well as adjust my cam timing so it's set up correctly.
Just waiting on a reply from Wayne to make sure the day I put to him he can fit me in.

ldavies · 14th November 2011, 19:11

So cars gone back to garage today for my Nissens radiator fitted as well as new thermostat, check strap on door and a few little other things doing.
