Had a great day chilling at Castle Combe Circuit o Had a great day chilling at Castle Combe Circuit on Friday with a few of the guys. Thanks to Slip&Grip Automotive for another great track day.It was nice to test a few bits and pieces I've modified on the car. Mostly steering and cooling. Now running a Mégane MK4 column, driven with custom CAN by the Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Pro.Thanks for the photos @mrprezzas you caught the fire perfectly!Some good banter to be had. Nice to see @matt_urchfab changing spark plugs like a Pro! His little Mini will be a weapon!We had to short shift to keep the noise down, but ultimately a successful day. Everything worked, and worked well.Yes, I know the fire is childish. But I'm childish. It's a race car. It's turned up to 11. Yes sir.@swallowsracing#slipandgrip #tuningshed #pve #somersettuned #urchfab #castlecombe #trackday #senderella #tracktoy #racecar #v8 #supercharged #supercharger #ctcrc #classicthunder #maxxecu #brutas #8hp
Julian's 20v Fiat Coupé on Maxxecu Race.Julian Julian's 20v Fiat Coupé on Maxxecu Race.Julian travelled down from Nottingham with his 20v Fiat Coupé. It's been an ongoing project for him for a few years. It's had a fully forged engine, with lots of bolt on goodies, and an EFR6758 Turbo. We were aiming to crack the 400bhp mark, with around 1.7-1.8bar of boost.Our first run on the Dyno immediately showed some issues. 100% duty cycle on the boost control solenoid, along with a 'lethargic' boost curve. 280bjp at 1.5 bar peak. The power curve absolutely fell off a cliff by 5750rpm. Ok, weve got some work to do here!After some diagnosis, we discovered the DV had accidentally been plumbed incorrectly, bypassing air. A quick Dyno fudge plumbing job sorted that, and we were able to get on with the job in hand. Calibrate the ECU!We ended up with 367bhp, as we've got some potential fuel demand issues.But a 4 year trek for Julian somewhere nearing now where it should be.Lovely looking car that Julian imported from Japan. Thanks for coming to see us Julian!Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB #fiat #fiatcoupe #20v #5cylinder #5cylinderturbo #tuningshed #tuner #tuned #maxxecu #maxxecurace

Travelling all the way down from Derby, just to see my handsome face! Mark works with Andrew at Auto Reserve and are often sending me all sorts of random bits and pieces I decide I need for my old Jag! Including the most recent parcel containing an 8HP. Hit them up for any Jag bits!Mark had recently fitted a Maxxecu Race, that we'd supplied him a few months ago. Once he'd finished up, we logged on online and got it fired up and idling enough for him to make the trip down to the Dyno.A few man hugs, and a coffee or two, and the job was started. A relatively trouble free Dyno tuning session. Plenty of low down grunt, and a nice free revving 4.2.

Maxxecu Race powered EP3 on throttle bodies. I'l Maxxecu Race powered EP3 on throttle bodies. I'll apologise for the lack of updates here, and the slow email response. I've had the busiest last few weeks we've ever had. Long days is a bit of an understatement, 3am 'last night' replacing a Turbocharger on an RS3. Back up early on the Dyno ready for Mark, who's travelled from Derby to see us. Thank you guys for the trust. 🤩🤩This little beauty is Tim's EP3. A long term track car that's had many guises along the way. He's recently fitted a set of throttle bodies, and has been communicating with us about the ECU requirements. There are a few options out there, even some plugins nowadays. He'd already purchase himself a 'budget' replacement engine harness as his original had been cut about and messed with. We decided a Maxxecu Race would be the best option. Knock control, lots of additional I/O, onboard datalogging etc.. One of the best bits about the Maxxecu is being able to map the K20 in the same manner as the OEM ECU. Multiple VE tables & ignition tables, that interpolate based on cam angle. It saves having to modify the tables every time you demand a different cam angle. Just like Honda did it!Can't wait to see him in track again,Lots of noise. 🫢Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Jenvey #tuningshed #pve #k20a2 #k20 #throttlebodies #jenvey #maxxecu #maxxecurace #vtec #bhp #trackcar #widebody #ep3 #civic
Charlie's cracking little R53.In for tuning on t Charlie's cracking little R53.In for tuning on the OEM ECU, 469, 550's, Airtec. Charlie's built this engine with his father, as the old one had a cracked cylinder head. The R53 does seem to suffer with this in fairness. They crack near the spark plug hole.It's great that he's built the engine with his dad. I'm pleased that this sort of work can be handed down from generation to generation. I sometimes feel that this sort of 'dirty' skill is almost looked down upon these days.A 'mechanic', in these modern times, needs to be a million things. An engineer, an electrician, a plumber, an admin clerk, a telepath! I imagine it was an enjoyable experience for father and son, and I respect it massively. I look forwards to building an engine on my son's first car. 👌👌Lovely little car, nice and tidy cracking couple too, thanks for coming down guys, pleasure. 👌👌611 racing @catcams_official @611.racing AIRTEC Motorsport @airtecmotorsport #tuningshed #pve #pvengineering #r53 #53oc #cooper #minicooper #dynodfamily #tuned #tuner #coopers #trackcar #supercharged #supercharger
AJ6 Jaguar XJS, loomed & tuned!Swallows Jaguar - AJ6 Jaguar XJS, loomed & tuned!Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing new 'race rental' Jaaaaag. MaxxECU Street fitted with one of my off the shelf AJ16 looms. Some small mods to the AJ6, namely front pulley and cam position sensor from an AJ16, allow us to run the AJ6 beautifully. Naturally fully sequential. Upgraded COP to the easily obtained VAG units. (Yes I dislike the red ones too, I'd planned on black coils)! Commonly used modern Bosch injectors also added at the same time. Mostly these things are added for reliability. Some of the old Jag stuff is 30+ years old, and getting more and more scarce. Replacing these with modern equivalents makes perfect sense. The on board wideband keeps the fuelling in check, and also some great information for the on board logging (up to 1000hz you know!). Oil pressure, and oil temperature also added into the mix. All of this data is transmitted over CAN to the newly fitted Aim Technologies PDM08, and 10" screen. A quick tune using one of my basemaps for the AJ6 on the Dyno, and she's ready to compete!A great little race car being tested soon before it's first race in future classics.

Fully forged T5, and now with added AWD.At the heart of this conversion is the Maxxecu Race of course! Not only controlling the engine perfectly, with various boost Maps accessible from the OEM steering wheel. It's working all the OEM guages, the OEM Air conditioning, the traction control using information from the OEM ABS module, but now controlling Sam's Volvo Haldex module too. Using wheel slip data, tps data and vehicle speed data, it will determine the AWD characteristics.Sam's properly worked hard on this car, fully forged T5 engine, custom manifolds, custom work everywhere.

Crack out the smoke machine to find a cheeky split on the intercooler boot. A full 'dyno fudge' later involving some tape, and some glue, and we're golden!Jack also got his other half to make Chocolate cake to bring. This guy's trying to butter me up. Well, as it goes, I respond very well to beong buttered up with pasties and cake! Thanks to Miss Rowe for the excellent cake!Some mild mods to my 469 base map, and we got her nailed.

Mark has owned this gem for 30 years, and has performed all of the modifications himself. Lots of 20v goodies!We actually tuned this a couple of years ago, but we ran out of injector essentially.Mark booked it back in to have some bigger injectors fitted, along with some mods to allow the Maxxecu to run 'Boost By Gear', and modify his Corsa power steering setup to be driven also by the Maxxecu.We used the pickup on his instrument cluster to provide the VSS signal straight to the ECU. We calibrated the speed output against the Dyno. We then used the Maxxecu functions to calibrate each gear ratio. In this case, we used a 4D table for all gears on the boost demand table. We used the same VSS input to replicate the original Corsa ECU, to send the PAS module the correct signals for both speed, and indeed RPM. Both sent via frequency outputs on our GPO outputs.A quick couple of hours on the Dyno to verify the fuelling, and add a little more boost.

Busy busy as per usual at this time of year. Coupl Busy busy as per usual at this time of year. Coupled with waiting for Dyno parts from Oz, it's been stressful! Crazy too, a loom I built up for Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing that's on its way to Oz! Fully terminated with the 8HP connector, and the BMW shifter connector. This loom runs the AJV8 4.0, and should be a simple case of installing a tune I'll send via email, plug in his own Maxxecu Race, and send it! Sequential fuel injection, Bosch throttle body upgrade, knock control, all the good stuff. Plenty of extra I/O on a DT 12-Way too for extra sensors and so on. A true plug in solution. This one is supplied with a fuse box solution also making the installation even easier. :-) This is destined for a Jaguar Coupe. Will be interested to see how it looks. When it's done. :-) #jaguar #ajv8 #swallowsracing #tuningshed #maxxecu #8hp #loom #harness Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB

Historically, Dave can be found at Santa pod pulling quarter mile runs in this 1300bhp Camero. It's recently been undergoing a conversion to make it into more of a 'Street Car'. This has involved some serious modification. Some serious upgrades. It's got modern power steering, a modern Z06 corvette independent rear axle. Air conditioning, a modern power steering system. 🤩 The engine is a nice new LS3, with the Magnuson Superchargers bolt on package. Running the Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Race ECU and LS harness package, Dave got the car up and running himself, and we managed to finish the job off on the Dyno.

730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP 730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP tuners. Kevin's epic Supercharged Mustang, following an engine rebuild, he decidded to get the calibration checked out. We initially did some logging, and ran it on the Dyno to find lots of knock, and some lean conditions. We made the decision to modify the calibration accordingly, based on the logs. The ECU was encrypted. Naturally. Fortunately, I have some real good friends in the industry. Massive shout out to Kenny from Motorsport Developments LTD for using my Bench read to decrypt the lock, allowing me to tune it normally via HPTuners. At this point my HP Tuners software decided it needed to update it's VCM firmware, and bricked itself beyond repair, naturally. So my my next shout out goes to Dave at MET & Metclean Automotive Equipment who lent me his HPTuners VCM for the day. I sent the wife up to collect it. What a day. 😂😂 Ultimately ended up with a happy customer and 730 safer BHP's.

Keeping it sensible at a bar of boost for now. When I say sensible, that's still 320whp on the built motor! Calibrated on a @link_ecu g4x. Spooled to a bar by 3800rpm, and making power all the way to 8500. #honda #vtec #precisionpaint #tuningshed #b18 #metro #retro #retrocars #widebody #painter
Marks Westfield powered by a late Fireblade Engine Marks Westfield powered by a late Fireblade Engine running MaxxECU Race, all the way from sunny Blackpool. Nice little story to this little car. A dream envisioned by Simon, and ultimately completed by Mark. A few years ago Simon got in contact, as he had a lovely little Westy that he wanted to fit a late Fireblade engine into. He wanted to run the Fly-By-Wire system as fitted by Honda. He sent the throttle bodies down for me to have a play with. Once we were confident we could run it, he booked it in. We ended up building a whole vehicle loom. Running the absolutely epic MaxxECU Race, coupled with a PDM20 and at the time and AIM MXS. We got the car up and running and got some tuning done on it, with a view to finish up a few bits and pieces in the future. Wheel speeds, quick shift etc etc. Simon then got the horn for some Wheel-to-wheel action, that I've been following. He's been doing really well, and now moving up into the BMW series. Ultimately, the car got sold to Mark. Mark has 'made it his own'. There is lots of carbon fibre, a colour change, and come more class upgrades. Including an air quick shifter now mounted into the 'passengers seat'! He's also upgraded to the genuinely amazing AIM steering wheel with integrated screen. Mark came down from Blackpool, baring cake! I was all in at this point! We did a little tuning, and did some messing about with the secondary injector setup, and a bit of calibration i the VE & ignition tables to get her absolutely clean. We then set about the fun stuff, some throttle blip on downshifts, and some ignition cut on upshifts. Launch control activated by the blink marine 12-Way keypad, and a high idle on another button (This is a factory race engine with a tiny stator that doesn't charge until 3200rpm!) Cake & Coffee were consumed in one end, and BHP's came out the other! :-) Good luck at the weekend Mark, pleasure to meet you. And yes. I struggled getting out.....

YB powered MK2 escort on Maxxecu Sport. Every now YB powered MK2 escort on Maxxecu Sport. Every now and again, something comes through the door that makes you sot back, and just appreciate the level of work that's gone into a project. This, was indeed one of those times. Chris has owned this for many many years, and I can tell you he treats it like a old friend! A built Cosworth YB, twin Scroll Borg Warner, Maxxecu Sport ECU running fly-by-wire. Attention to detail everywhere, an epic, epic build. We made some mapping adjustments, and ended up with 375whp. We also wired his Corsa power steering module to the ECU. This allows the power steering to get lighter/heavier based on wheel speed and engine rpm. In a behaviour that mimics an OEM car. Naturally all programmed via the ECU. Great car, great power, great build.

Busy busy as per usual at this time of year. Coupled with waiting for Dyno parts from Oz, it's been stressful!Crazy too, a loom I built upSwallows Jaguar - Swallows Racingacing that's on its way to Oz! Fully terminated with the 8HP connector, and the BMW shifter connector. This loom runs the AJV8 4.0, and should be a simple case of installing a tune I'll send via email, plug in his own Maxxecu Race, and send it!Sequential fuel injection, Bosch throttle body upgrade, knock control, all the good stuff.Plenty of extra I/O on a DT 12-Way too for extra sensors and so on. A true plug in solution. This one is supplied with a fuse box solution also making the installation even easier. :-)This is destined for a Jaguar Coupe. Will be interested to see how it looks.

S54 Powered E36Kens E36, purchased as a 328i, then upgraded to a very high specification. S54 conversion, LSD, Carbon Air ox lots of details and upgrades everywhere!Booked in for us for a couple bits of wiring and to Boot the CSL flash onto the original MS54HP. EWS delete along with a few relevant changes due to a manual transmission change. Cam offset modification for OEM cams.A quick run up on the Dyno for confirmation. Lots of induction noise, so naturally I popped the camera up for the noises!Barrrp#e36 #e36m3 #s54 #CSL #M3CSL #e46m3 #e46 #BMW #bmwm3 #tuningshed #pve ... See MoreSee Less

Aston Martin Lagonda for MaxxECU Race & Harness,I hope everyone is enjoying their half term, and ensuring the kids are entertained at all times! 🙃We were honoured enough to be able to build an engine harness for this Aston Martin Lagonda. It runs the 5.3 V8 Engine with some downdraft Jenveys! Running now using the Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Race, twin wideband lambda, added in idle bypass valves and all the trimmings in replacement of the old setup that ran roughly, and would struggle to start!It's an absolutely classic 1970s design, that's so bloody ugly, it's beautiful! I absolutely love it! I love the off the wall projects that make you have to work for it. I'd hate to be doing the same car/engine over and over!Massive thanks to Richard at MTX Motors for getting us involved in this epic project.The craziest bit about this project? It's in Hong Kong.Richard drew up exactly what he wanted and sent me some drawings. I built him a harness and shipped it over. I sent over a base map, then using the MaxxECU on board logging facilities, we mapped it on the road, from the other side of the planet! The only constraint has been the time difference. Often I've been in bed late at night, tuning a car in Hong Kong!Some Lagonda facts for fun:Throughout the history of the marque, the hand-built Lagonda was amongst the most expensive luxury saloons in the worldThe Lagonda was the first production car to use a digital instrument panel. The development cost for the electronics alone on the Lagonda came to four times as much as the budget for the whole car.It was named by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of the 50 ugliest cars of the last 50 years#tuningshed #astonmartin #lagonda #astonmartinlagonda #1970 #maxxecu #maxxecurace #v8 #mtxmotors #hongkong #tuner #tuned #mapping #retro #restomod ...

Historically, Dave can be found at Santa pod pulling quarter mile runs in this 1300bhp Camero.It's recently been undergoing a conversion to make it into more of a 'Street Car'. This has involved some serious modification. Some serious upgrades. It's got modern power steering, a modern Z06 corvette independent rear axle. Air conditioning, a modern power steering system. 🤩The engine is Magnuson Superchargershe Magnuson Superchargers bolt Maxxecu / Maxxtuning ABe Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Race ECU and LS harness package, Dave got the car up and running himself, and we managed to finish the job off on the Dyno.Good healthy numbers, and a fantastic torque curve yo#tuningshed #camero on!##SSi#maxxecuc#maxxecurace##pvem#tuner #Dynoe#ls3c#magnusonsuperchargerls3 #magnusonsupercharger ...

Some nice silverware coming from Cadwell Park today!Jack Robinson pulling off a perfect points for the second time this season. Fastest Lap, Class Win, and overall Win, and Tom Robinson hot on his tail with his own class wins, and places on the podium in both races, in a fairly standard XJS. I reckon you could put these boys in wheelie bins and they'd still podium! Glad to see their hard work is paying dividends. Jack managing to get his V8 XK8 into the 1.38. We've loomed & tuned both of these cars, obviously running Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Well done to Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing Some great positive news from one of our sponsored cars this year too! Charlie Ford managed to break his gearbox in Qualifying. After lots of work to his fiesta, including a forged Duratec we've recently tuned for him on Link ECU . He managed to find another gearbox albeit without an LSD, and fit it in the paddock! He was rewarded with two Podium places! 😁Well done guys, keep up the good work!#swallowsracing #maxxecu #fiesta #st150 #duratec #racecar #racecars #jaguar #x100 #ajv8 #linkecu #support #calibration #winningteam #pve #tuningshed #cadwell ...
