BTW I had Mini-Madness due a tune to my R50 with the same results! An ECU Ttune for the R50 is a must!! I have a CF "S" hood on my R50 that sucks in a ton of air, so not sure what temp my K&N is sucking, I bet it's less then 140 at speed. |
Wow, I can not wait till you fly out to the land down under to tune some Minis. I had to take advantage of this awesome opportunity. When do you think your cam and header system will be out? I have been thinking of those two things for my R50.

Dee sometimes I just want to kiss you...and then there are those few times that you make me say "Hmmmmmmmmm".
|
:lol:We just haven't found a place to race yet, but I am anxious to do so. Timing is everything...
|
Lets see Dee, you work most weekends, I work durring the week (like normal people) and we live 180 miles apart...I've been to lots of places to race...and no Dee...so what do you suppose we do then. Rolex doesn't have the timing it takes to get you out there then who does.
|
That's a good point you have there. :nod:
|
Thread Back on track, another tank of gas and got 34MPG :thumbsup: Still very happy with the Tune.
|
So I presume the 109.2 hp was before the tune and the 116.4 was after the tune? If so 7.2 hp from a tune is pretty darn good. :nod:
Just out of curiosity, how much extra hp do you think a header and cam will add? And if the car was tuned with those on it I presume the gain from the tune would be greater than just from the CAI and exhaust, yes? |
having talked to guys that know heads better then I do, I'm told a head and cam would add 15-20 bolted on and tuned maybe 10 more. There have not been any reports of anyone doing it. I know Jan is working on a Just-a-Cooper at this time and will be reporting soon. My plan is to drive the setup I have now till she blows, then rebuild the motor as big as my budget will allow at that time, get a tune and :eek2: myself. :grin:
|
Im not too sure about a new head, but im interested in doing headers and cam as soon as possible. My goal is to get these two things done so that I don't have to get it retuned later. Its not easy getting a custom mini tune here lol.

Speaking of all these headers, which is the best bang for your buck?

another tank still got 34mpg and the other late night had some expressway to myself and without getting into the details, let's just say 4000rpm to 6000rpm at speed is SICK! :razz:

Exactly what did Jan do to you MINI? Did he change the programming in the ECU?

Art the tune is $350 we are working on header and cam prototypes |
Nice, Thanks Jan I will need that in the future after I get my Megan exhaust and new CAI.

The Tune is $350 but you also need to budget Dyno time. Based on NAM postings you will need to budget $100 or more for dyno time.

now if we could just get someone to make a "bullit proof" rebuild kit for the wimpy midlans 5 spped tranny!!

None of this stuff is from RMW as there wasn't any RMW stuff available, but I've chosen the bits and pieces carefully and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all works out. I admit the TB may have been a waste (maybe...), but the rest of my choices seemed right (to me) to work together as a system on an R50. Hmmm, I wonder how I go about trying to start a "Jan tune in (or near) DC" campaign..... |
