Duratec tuning shop in SF Bay Area?

[NecronomiconJules]

Morning all.

 

My engine - a Duratec 2.0 not sourced from Caterham - needs a tune. 

 

The ECU is thankfully an open one. I accessed it from Easimap via a CAN mapping kit yesterday. All good on that front.

 

Now there is a deluge of tuning options in Easimap. I can tell any tinkering on my part will likely make things worse.

 

So: can anyone recommend a good shop, or person, with Duratec knowledge around the greater SF Bay Area? 

 

Thanks.

I know that Hasselgren builds and tunes duratecs. Not sure if he does chassis dyno tuning or not though. I'd he curious to know what you find as well. I have pondered going unlocked ECU and custom tune.

Hasselgren is the shop I know of as well.  I'm tentatively looking for a shop to help diagnose an oil consumption issue so I am interested if there is a closer alternative.

Thanks.

 

It appears Hasselgren have a dyno (and are well reviewed). I'll get in touch with them and report findings later.

Report (long overdue). Hasselgren do have a dyno, but an engine one, not a rolling road. And although very well equipped, they are not familiar with EMB ECUs, which is what Caterhams use. 

 

I ended up contacting Steve Greenald, a UK engineer who knows everything about these and other ECUs. Steve walked me through collecting engine data points and used them to put together maps that I installed and tested. My engine is running well now.
