Courtenay ProTech coming soon

[A11VXL]

http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/images/uploads/SCT_CS.JPG


After extensive research we have found what is perhaps the most revolutionary hand held tuning tool in the market.

Courtenay ProTech interacts with the ecu via the car's OBDII (diagnostic) port. It is very easy to use via the four way control pad, and features an LCD display panel which will guide you step by step through a series of menus. The tool has the ability to hold your standard factory map plus 3 different tuned files, and can be used to read and erase trouble codes (DTC’s). It has an ****ogue input socket for a wide band lambda sensor and when used with the software provided features live data logging of up to 24 parameters.

Simply plug the ProTech into the OBDII port, plug the USB cable into your PC and start up live link. Select a whole range of parameters so you know exactly what your vehicle is doing. Use your lap top for data logging on the move and save files for ****ysis.

Finally, you can migrate your ProTech unit to a different vehicle up to 5 times and load an infinite number of tuning files - so if you change your car regularly your money is well spent!

We are due to release ProTech towards the end of 2007. We will also be offering existing customers a promotional deal on the unit.

Are you going to bring this beast out any time soon?

No SCT, not to be confused with superchips in the UK

This device looks very interesting, and I plan on saving up money and buy it for use on my meriva opc.
It says "Coming Soon" on the front page so I was wondering if there were any eta. when to expect this baby to hit the market? :)

Testing is still ongoing but we hope to have something for you soon.

Excellent and nice to hear, since I'm a tester by profession, can't have too much testing, especially not when we talk about cars :)

[C5 VXL]

Vectra is in the plan ;)

Cost will be compariable to other products in the market :D

[beerbellymike]

It looks identical to the unit available to Ford ST owners that was £499.99 with the same features.

[Craig_VXR]

[miniman]

More info please. Thanks. :)

[Craig_VXR]

well it was a tongue in cheek remark, courts said it is coming soon and he posted it on 6 nov 2007, now it is nearly the end of march and a few months have passed with no update.

Like i said if you basically want a held held device which you can put on and take of remaps right now, thorney and IPF which at the moment regal are selling them are on the market to buy

[timmee]

the protech is being tested iirc to make sure when it comes on the market it doesn't have any problems so hang on it will be released when it's ready an i'm sure it will be worth the wait

[Parksey]

^^ good things come to those who wait!

[timmee]

it does indeed or if you really want to you could drive to courtenays and have the map done there the drive home would be fun

[arbee]

there has been an update in another thread. About a month ago they said they had some testing satill to do which would take... about a month lol.

Based on the DS for the Fords i am waiting to buy this as soon as. Shame its taking so long but these issues also affected the Ford version...

Courtenay - any news???

[BuZy]

it does indeed or if you really want to you could drive to courtenays and have the map done there the drive home would be fun


Well for me its about 4500miles to drive ( From Iceland #-o ) ;) Have everything ready for stage 3 and more then that !! just need the protech :(:(

Any news pleas ?? :(

[arbee]

the beauty of this product isnt the map (no disrespect courtenay- i'm sure the mapping is excellent) its the unit itself, and all its benefits.

Once this goes on the market the competitors will be panicking!

[arbee]

update? - anyone at courtenay reading?

[timmee]

i emailed corurtenays about this the other day still being tested i am poping over there tomorrow will try and find out more info for you all

[arbee]

[BuZy]

there is always the EDS IPf mate from regal if you want the more aggressive maps.... ?

Well have try to send them 2x mail and send pm here but no answear :(

[Daz5182]

try DAP and VXRPC then mate see what they have got to say, and to be fair i have always found with any of the tuners emails are ****, you are better ringing

[timmee]

i spoke to Jon today at courts and it is still being tested I'm afraid they won't release it until they know that it is going to work OK so please be patent hopefully it won't be much longer

[C5 VXL]

Just a quick up date - Protech is in the final stages of testing and we hope to have some news very soooon!

Will release more news when we have it.

Hang in there :D

[streamline]

[reunionvxr]

[streamline]

Bump, :D

[BuZy]

Any news :D ?

[sparticus]

A 'must have' mod, if I say so myself.

[miniman]

The Dreamscience unit is on its way nearly completed

[duckson]

The Dreamscience unit is on its way nearly completed

Next week apparently....and if its as good as it is for the ST it'll be an excellent option.

[BuZy]

Next week ??

[duckson]

Next week ??

Or maybe the week after...the jist of what Jared@DS said is it'll take a week to finish off before it goes on sale.

[miniman]

Cant come soon enough, if it is in any way like the Fiesta ST unit then i will wait for it. Would like to get a good idea of price though.

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

Or maybe the week after...the jist of what Jared@DS said is it'll take a week to finish off before it goes on sale.

I think they're just waiting for the tune files now. Instead of hijacking Court's thread why not back a new one lol?

[arbee]

to avoid confusion can courtenay confirm if theirs and Dreamsciences own products are the same or are they two different products?

[gazlccc]

completely seperate.

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

As far as I am aware the handheld units where somewhat of a joint venture. However the tunes are separate. (I think)

[wayne/vxr]

i have the REGAL/EDS one.its easy to use.

[arbee]

i have the REGAL/EDS one.its easy to use.

maybe - but very different to the SCT/DS/'Pro Tech' being discussed :)

[A11VXL]

Jay is quite right we are working together on this and Stephan is writing the Dream Science platform at the moment. He is also writing a safe Generic Stage 1 map for Dream Science. Further stages will be available from us and possibly Dream Science, however neither of us are keen just to send stage 2/3 maps out on box's without having seen, checked and adjusted the map specifically for the car, as too many problems can occur from this suck it a see sort of tuning, furthermore Vauxhall are very anti this approach.

[Thorney]

True.

Its for this reason that we have adopted the Performance Centre approach with training to ensure the car is in perfect condition before any modifications take place.

[C5 VXL]

True.

Its for this reason that we have adopted the Performance Centre approach with training to ensure the car is in perfect condition before any modifications take place.

Ok but the point Jon was making was:

We will not be sending out Protech with stage 2/3 maps on unless we have the car here to set up properly on the dyno - I don't think all Performance Centres are fortunate enough to have the facility of a Dyno regardless of their training, as for Stage 1 then as Jon has stated they will be a generically safe conservative map, however potentially power will be available to the cars that get set up on our Dyno.

As for checking the car before mapping I hope every Tuner adopts this approach :o

[Thorney]

I'm sure DAP and VXRPC will moan about that.;)

[C5 VXL]

Not sure which part you are referring to but I know whilst DAP and VXPC do not have Dyno facilities but they do check their cars looking at knock retard and do use an AFR meter.

(obviously they do this on a private test track)

Anyway back to Protech :D

[dap]

I'm sure DAP and VXRPC will moan about that.;)


:D Nothing to Moan about,
Its ok having a dyno, its Ok not having a dyno, no problems with either as long as it is all checked properly.

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

I'm sure DAP and VXRPC will moan about that.;)

I think that was a bit ****** to be honest. I dont think there has been a proven right or wrong way of tuning.

I think I have heard horror and praise for every tuner on these boards whether they use a dyno or not

[duckson]

Guess i'll be getting the DS then!

[napa1985]

Guess i'll be getting the DS then!

well same problem as the protech, won't be out till its ready, i'm currently working with DS for the astra, jay will be doin the work with the corsa.

John

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

John

My ears are burning ;)

John

I thought it was imminent?

[napa1985]

I thought it was imminent?

yeah we are in the testing stage same as protech

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

yeah we are in the testing stage same as protech

As most things I'm guessing the Astra will be ready for release before the Corsa. As far as I am aware they are still waiting on the Corsa maps - but I'm sure Jared will be able to put us straight ;)

[napa1985]

your in the pipe line don't worry ;)

[C5 VXL]

Our aim is still to have it lauched at PV Show 2008.

[Dreamscience Flash]

We have people already running our tunes on our devices and the feedback is excellent, we have a finished product and are nearly ready to release. We will be updating you very very soon :)

Jared@Dreamscience

Jared@Dreamscience
Thanks for the update :)

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

Are Courts releasing theirs at PVS?

[streamline]

Is dream linked with Courtney?

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

Is dream linked with Courtney?

No. As far as I am aware they worked together on the handhelds (I guess to reduce production costs) But the maps are separate. ;)

[Aussie]

No. As far as I am aware they worked together on the handhelds (I guess to reduce production costs) But the maps are separate. ;)


The units DREAMSCIENCE use came from SCT (Superchips Custom Tuning) in the US.
http://www.sctflash.com/GMXC2.php

The software the 2 (DS & Courts) will be offering with the units is from the same software developer Klassen but would be developed specifically for each tuner.

[arbee]

According to DS, their unit will be released at PVS :)

[havsgaard]

It's quite a while since we have had any news regaring pro-tech.

Any news on how the planned release is going on and when to expect it?

[miniman]

Any answers please :confused:

[duckson]

The day after Hell freezes over?

[AaronbrockVXR]

when the vxr range is no more LOL

[miniman]

Were ALL going to Bluefin. Only joking on my part but time goes on

[C5 VXL]

Yes it must seem like this has been going on forever:roll:

We are still waiting for Dreamscience to build the platform for us to be able to use our own maps on their Stragem boxes.

As soon as we have anymore information it will be made available.

Thank you for your patience it will be worth the wait :grin:

[arbee]

so is the generic DS stratagem for corsa and astra now on sale and we're waiting or courtenays tweaks or are neither on sale???

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

DS Astra is on sale. Corsa still in development

[arbee]

DS Astra is on sale. Corsa still in development

well get back over to their place so they can carry on developing it! lol :)

[miniman]

I bet bluefin are taking all the anxious customers who cant wait.

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

well get back over to their place so they can carry on developing it! lol :)

:D soon matey, soon ;)

[arbee]

I bet bluefin are taking all the anxious customers who cant wait.

well they aint taking me, after experiencing the stratagem for my focus its soooo worth the wait :)

[miniman]

well they aint taking me, after experiencing the stratagem for my focus its soooo worth the wait :)
Likewise for my Fiesta :grin:

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

DS have borrowed a corsa from a local dealer so that should speed things up a bit

[BuZy]

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

[miniman]

Too late i've gone the bluefin route, cant wait forever, sorry. :o

[CarlVXR]

Will wait a little longer and see if anything appears!

[miniman]

When i owned an ST the dreamteam could write new maps overnight, so whats wrong with the Corsa VXR maps ?

[arbee]

too late - i'm selling the corsa! lol

[dannyf]

what about the Z20let's ecu's will you do them ???

[miniman]

This wait was to late for me, but just what is the problem ?

[havsgaard]

I have a hard time taking it serious that a statement like "Courtenay ProTech........ Coming Soon" has been there for months and months
with no news about what is going on. By the time it hit the streets (if ever) I'll probably have another car.

[dannyf]

Soon its almost a year now :lol:

[vxrdave]

Have you tryed the phone give them a call as i cannot see it happening but i cannot go in to that, just call them and see.

[GeoVXR]

to be honest the gains are pretty poor from the map when you look at regals 230bhp map i know what you can get out these cars i seen one rolling roaded at 270bhp with just a remap

i know that this is quite high and will cause alot of pressure on internals but it proves wat they can be mapped to i wouldn't see any problem with 250bhp surely

[Flinty]

So you're saying that they've re-mapped a corsa (with no hardware) to 270bhp? am I reading this correctly? :confused: :lol:

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

lol i didnt post incase I had missed something too!

[vxr bad boy]

lol i didnt post incase I had missed something too!
me 3 :D

[Flinty]

I suppose you could theoretically run massive boost, but it's no good if you drive up the road & the car goes pop or into limp mode because of the temps it'll be running :confused:

[CorsaVXR_Jay]

The tuners have set these limits for a reason. As you say they engines are probably capable of more power, for a few hundred miles....

[dannyf]

Any news as yet as its almost been a year

[timmee]

ring and ask them

[dtox]

it would be on their homepage but i dont think its out

[dannyf]

its not out I have no longer got the zaffy vxr would of had one and still will for the 1.9
when i called up last year in december they said the 2nd week of Jan 2008 its now the end of the year
