rolling road tuning (power commander)
Discussion
I have just had a ZZR1400 fitted to the club sport with a power commander.
What I need is a rolling road to perhaps run-in the engine and definitely check the mapping which is only a guess at the non standard air filters and exhaust.
Any recommendations, preferably in reasonable distance from East Midlands, with the appropriate experience and not too expensive...

Chip Tuning in Bromsgrove have a dynojet approved rolling road set up for powercommander mapping, not used them as his first words ever to me were that he loved to humiliate Force's (the car I use) in the National hillclimb championship, as such saw a conflict of interest!
The Humiliation was all his, I beat him every time, dispite it being my first season in a single seater.
His Tel no.- 01527 577710 (Hamish)

I can't help re a local tuner, but IMHO it is worth finding / travelling to someone with good experience of your specific engine management system. Watching them learn on the job is slow & expensive, cheers Geoff ps fancy sharing any secrets on how easy the conversion was to the 1400 motor?

Hi Geoff,
I put the ZX14 into SportLibre's Clubsport. As you may have guessed it is not a straight swap
Had to fabricate new front and rear engine mounts.
Biggest headache was having to mount the engine a bit high due to the depth of the sump.
I only managed to gain an extra inch by repositioning the oil drain to the side of the sump.
To get a lower sump it is necessary to relocate the oil filter from the front of the sump.
There is a billet sump which does this by fitting the filter to an adaptor plate which replaces the oil cooler on the front of the block, but budget did not run to that.
The standard sump seems reasonably well baffled as standard.
I made new ends for the Clubsport exhaust manifold primaries and then cut and shut the pipes.
It was necessary to take the righthand bank a slightly longer route to clear the water outlet on the right of the block.
The gearbox sprocket sits higher than the ZZR1100 so the rear crossmember had to be modified to give clearance for the chain.
Gear linkage operates the opposite direction from the ZZR1100 so I had to revert to the original bottom pivotted gear lever.
Due to the height of the engine I had to make cut-outs in the rear bodywork to clear the air filter and the RH corner of the cam cover.
I am making a couple of scoops to tidy up this area.
Had to fit a return line to the fuel tank for the injection system (not using ZX14 pump so had to fit a regulator and return).
Complete new electrical system based on ZX14 loom with lots of bits removed and leads extended to dashboard.
Amazed engine fired first time!http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=3349575344222842545&hl=en-GB
Clubsport dashboard does not work with Canbus wiring system so just have a Power Commander LCD display to show rpm (also has limited data logging facility and can store additional fuel maps for the PowerCommander).
Other than that all quite straight forward

Hi Guys,
What sort of power is the ZZR1400 in standard form? is this one tuned?
About 187 HP and 113.5 ft.Lb torque (at 7250 rpm) in standard form.What sort of power is the ZZR1400 in standard form? is this one tuned?
SportsLibre's is going on TTS's rolling road this week so hoping for some improvement over the ZZR1100.
