Any experiences with JKM Motor Services?

richm · 31-01-2007, 23:51

Has anyone had any direct experience with JKM in Portsmouth - JKM Motor Services Ltd | JKM Performance | VAG Specialists | Telephone +44 (023) 9263 9933 | - do they do proper live custom mapping, or is it a REVO based outfit?

On a different angle, I'm also interested in their abilities to live map Emerald M3D systems which it looks like they sell/use, from the ground up on a normally aspirated Rover k-series race engine.

Any input appreciated

Try searching for "JKM" using the search button. Much has happened there recently.

They even have their own sub-forum on Briskoda now too.

yeah I have had a search around, but haven't been able to find anything that answers my two specific questions..

I'd just give them a shout. Seem a friendly outfit

There was an organised RR day down there recently.

I get the impression they're Revo based for remaps, but can't be 100%.

The do a lot of Emarald stuff and they have a fairly new Dyno Dynamics rolling road setup for that.

If you are local just drop down and have a word with Jim or Keith, last time I was in they were mapping an emarald onto a Clio for a local motorsport company.

They have one or two nice little project cars around too.

i've had very good experiences whenever i've dealt with jkm, they are so friendly and very professional, would recommend them to anybody....

on the subject of emerald m3dk engine management systems, jim at jkm is the man to talk to, i picked his brain on a sequential injection issue and he knows his stuff

OK! thanks guys, will give them a call when I get a chance then

I was booking in for some work and they were reasonably cheap on the prices, plus were also good when I had to cancel the work

Stuart_J · 01-02-2007, 13:45

Went to the RR day basically to get a feel for them

Seemed a good honest outfit & as Stu says they have a few interesting builds going on at the moment which requires good knowledge & high skills to build cars from the ground up in that way

Recommended them to my boss and is intermittently troublesome 1.8T Audi, he was happy with the outcome.
