Dyno's in the Leeds area

[Mr Whippy]

I'm planning on having my car dyno'd soon, as in a few weeks I'm wanting to get a remap ECU update and I'd like to see if the promised power and torque gains materialise from before/after runs.

Well Lane Turbo centre in Batley is a well established dyno centre who will charge £35+vat for a power run (actually several from what I can tell but one after the other).

I'm just curious if anyone else knows of any good places in the Leeds/Harrogate/York area, perhaps they know of a more accurate one, or a cheaper place, or somewhere they can recommend, as the only one I've ever really heard mentioned is Well Lane.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Cheers

Dave

I've heard Holeshot Racing in Bradford mentioned a few times on here before but don't know anything about them.

[Mr Whippy]

Yeah, I've seen them mentioned before, but they look like they are a bike specialist. I'll give them a ring though just to be sure. I can't seem to make out from their website exactly what they can offer.

Never mind anyway, Well Lane turbo centre seems to be a well established and mentioned place so I guess they must be at least half good

Cheers

Well lane = high figures..

How far is chesterfield from you?

Not far, I'm in SE Leeds, so Well Lane is about 20 mins away.

However, I can scoot onto the M1 and be down south of Sheffield in 50mins.


Not too fussed about high figures as I'm aiming for comparison numbers, and as long as at the wheel is accurate then I can make a decent comparison (pre and post alteration)...

I'm guessing there is a good place in Chesterfield

Go and see the boys at Scoobyclinic in chesterfield , they will look after you

Why is that then? Are they famed for giving unrealistic figures?

I've had a few cars monitored and fettled at Well Lane before

[Mr Whippy]

Seems that Dyno Dynamics rollers are the ones to be looking for?

Shame there are no other decent dyno's in the Leeds area. So much scope for some decent stuff up in the Leeds area, plenty of markets to be taken over by a superior supplier.

I've not heard anything bad about thier workmanship, but thier rollers certainly used to read fairly high.

Yeah, I saw your dyno was DD, and so was the Scooby place in Chesterfield, so guessed that DD were the ones to look for

Tried to find one local to me, and that one in Halifax (the racing line) looks like a spot on place. Not too much further than Well Lane Turbo centre... will give them a bell to see what their prices are.

Thanks

Tis a sound place!

Just got a very good deal on a small group of FWD cars (4 or 5) for power runs.

Cheers for the reccomendation

I have a friend who works for Holeshot, so I could put a good word in if you'd like to mail me.

[gingerprince]

Yep holeshot do bikes (and bike engined kit cars). I was there last week with my bike engined car.

If you don't mind travelling a bit then John Noble motorsport in Derbyshire have a good reputation too. I went there with the FTO owners club a few years ago.

[Mr Whippy]

Do Holeshot do cars too then? I thought it was just bikes...


The place in Halifax was pretty steep for a single power run, but if I get a group of 4 or 5 they'll do it for about £40 each inc Vat which was the cheapest locally.

Really want to sod the group thing and get a power run this weekend though, sooner I get that sooner I can get a remap (90bhp is too sloooo, but don't tell the insurers )

Cars with BIKE engines, yes.

Holeshot do cars, took mine there twice last year and they were very helpful.

I don't think Peugeot used the DW10 diesel engine in any bikes

Holeshot will do cars no problem, I've just had mine done there, which happens to be a bike engined car, but even still, i've arranged for a mate of mine to take his Astra Gsi track car up there to be set up.

best thing to do is call them.
