WTF are you guys talking about...Car is fine and being tuned as we speak. ANYONE is more than welcome to come down to the shop and watch how real tuning works.

I know exactly how this rumor got started and I would like to say that if anyone has questions about my mini to man up and ask! I`m not into this bs games and starting rumors. Stop IT, You know who you are.

 

Whoooow man, who are you calling out? This started because I posted the question about the tuning...I was not bashing or anything else. I was curious to see what gains you were making and how strong it was running. That's all. And why are they taking so long to tune it...Shouldn't tuning take a day or two at tops(for something that has never been seen before)...

 

just tired of all the crap that goes on around here...

We are testing a lot different set-ups, injectors, pullies ect. to find the best.

 

Johan also remember the engine isnt stock at all so it will take longer to tune correctly than a standard engine or even a piston change.

 

Hey that is fine. I was not trying to start up another brawl. So, where are you guys at right now?

 

I did exactly that in a PM to you last night. Yet, no response.

 

this is probably a stupid question but wth it's never stopped me before .... but don't you have to break in the rings and bearings prior to some groovy red linin' ?

 

You weren`t the only one to PM me so I wanted to set things straight so everyone can know...I`ll send you a pm to make you happy

Yes

 

thank you. replied

 

So much anger... trust me... better to do it right the first time... otherwise the 2nd is forever... my car has been down 6 months! the $2500 turbo wasnt worth it... I hope to be right there with you Johan!

 

Did Gintani blow up this guys engine and replace it with out him knowing?
Or was that just a NAM rumor?

 

 

perfect answer.
thankyou for confirming...

 

We dont know how this rumor started however come by we will start it up for you however you may get a bit shocked it snarls quite nicely

 

Well i am glad to hear it was just a rumor!

You all done tuning it yet? How are the numbers/deltas looking?

 

Numbers are really really nice!!!! We are working hard on Johans Mini we will try to load some sound and video clips if we can later.

 

Any initial numbers???

 

We will do our best to provide that info as soon as its available we are working hard to get some numbers for you guys. Also thank you guys we are receiving great responses towards our aftercooler program. For those who have purchased from us we are working diligently to expedite your orders.

 

And prototype Gintani forged pistons

I might need to upgrade the brakes...

 

Don't shoot me Johan I'm just asking.

Why did you need new pistons?

You said they were dynoing the car all this week. Gintani said the number were looking really really good and they were going to post some video of your car on the dyno.

What happened? After waiting 8 months we are all curious. Your car is starting to sound like mine . It's funny how both are going to be finished around the same time.

Longboard

 

No worries LB...I am a loose cannon and have an itchy trigger finger sometimes so thanks for understanding

Pistons, I was building a NX wet nitrous kit for the mini...So I had these pistions built to withstand the power and abuse of nitrous. I never did run the nitrous and I have NO intentions to. Now I'm going to pull all the stuff out of my car and stick it in the closet for another project down the road or just sell it.

I talked to Gintani yesterday and they told me that they were going to upload some clips on youtube...so as soon as I get the link I'll post it here for sure

Most of the extra time is my doing...I've been adding a lot more stuff than I had planned to from the start...for example their prototype head, pistons, header, exhaust ect...The pistons had to be custom built and that simply takes time...plus the time time to PROPERPLY change pistons. So I take the responsability for it taking longer.

Yea we'll be done about the same time...but you'll be putting down a little more power than me...until I move on to stage 2

 

What the heII does stage 2 mean?
a whole new head? new exhaust? and everything else? 3 extra SC's?
Sometimes... I just don't get it.

 

Cool.

Are you going drive your car back? The cooler should work great for you in Florida.

Longboard

 

Gotta love the suspence around here

I'm not even sure I'm going to bring the car back...Looks like I'll be moving to southern CA either this spring for fall...So I may just fly out there and check it out for the time being and leave it in CA...it will be easier than bringing all the way to the east coast just to ship it back in a couple months.

 

sounds... i not sure of the words...
