Rolling road near west London??
Discussion
Just bought....and started a love affair with a Noble M12 GTO 3.....it's frickin amazing. Can anyone suggest a good rolling road for tweaking the engine setup? I'd like to make sure it's all working as it should be before I take it on the track.
Many thanks, and hope you are enjoying the Noble experience as much as me!
Chat to Yellowshed. The location will be here http://www.tracknroad.com/ which shouldn't be too far for you.
I used to use Middlesex Tuning in Harrow to tune my old Pug 205 Mi16.
Maybe not the ideal suggestion but another nonetheless.
A tuner there called Dave managed to extract more power and made it smoother too... something nobody else seemed to be able to do on this conversion on carbs, back in 1996.

Thanks for the choice of all those R-Roads!
I've heard Surrey Rolling roads don't do adjustments or tweaking, just printouts. Is there any of those suggested you recommend for that, I don't mind driving a little further afield....
Gadge sells Dyno Dynamics rolling roads, they are all customers of his, as Phil said Yellowshead has a lot of very specific Noble experience and will very easily recognise any issues I've heard Surrey Rolling roads don't do adjustments or tweaking, just printouts.

Power Engineering in Uxbridge have a very new RR and excellent, capable staff who will spend as much time as you need making suggestions, adjustments etc.
If you car has an BOD socket then a trip to Marlin Motorsport in Bletchley might be even more rewarding as they have a MAHA machine which is far superior to most of those used by those mentioned here and can log a large number of readings from the OBD at 100rpm intervals as they have MAHA's very latest software.

Yeah, but unless they have the codes to unlock the Noble ECU, which they won't, they'll just be printing a graph.If you car has an BOD socket then a trip to Marlin Motorsport in Bletchley might be even more rewarding as they have a MAHA machine which is far superior to most of those used by those mentioned here and can log a large number of readings from the OBD at 100rpm intervals as they have MAHA's very latest software.

Noble ECU doesn't have an OBD port.If you car has an BOD socket then a trip to Marlin Motorsport in Bletchley might be even more rewarding as they have a MAHA machine which is far superior to most of those used by those mentioned here and can log a large number of readings from the OBD at 100rpm intervals as they have MAHA's very latest software.

most of the Dyno's i mentioned will record from the ODBII port, however the Noble does not transmit ODBII
(the Dyno's at Power Engineering and Torque of the Devil will both Read over 2400 hp at the wheels !)

why is it that only certain tuners have the codes to unlock the encripted ones?i pressume all of our nobles are out of warranty so why would noble care?never expected to be told what i can do or rather where i can do! with a car i have spent my hard earned on 
is this actually legal?
Just because your iPod is old doesn't mean Apple have to give you the source code. is this actually legal?Regardless of the situation around who can and cannot access the ECU, in answer to the original question requesting recommendations for RR and mapping, I will also add my wholehearted recommendation for Yellowshed.
After getting an exhaust and other bits done, I spoke to Trevor and ended up meeting him down at Track n Road. Several hours later the car was running perfectly, and I went home happy in the knowledge that the boost etc was all set up to "safe" settings (he corrected an overboost issue, set max to under 1 bar and ensured at higher revs the boost reduced slightly). It was a bonus that the end result was very respectable power/torque figures.
Basically I was very impressed with their expertise, and the time and effort they put in. Could not fault the whole experience, and the car has been running great since then. I also know Trevor has mapped many many Nobles, knows them inside out, and you cannot go wrong getting your P&J checked out by him.
