Revolution Mini Works (Jan) tuning in Dallas, December 15th
 

As the subject says...

I've been in contact with Jan and have the dyno all setup.

Location: LG Motorsports Wylie, TX

Time: 8.00 AM until

Cost: Tune is $350 Dyno costs to be split between all participants. We have the dyno booked for 7 hours at a cost of $800. The more people, the lower the cost.

Other Goodies: Will Goodwin will be there to assist with any wrenching needs. We will be splitting the cost of Will too. Figure total costs will be from 500-600.

We need at least 5 people to pull this off. You do not have to have a RMW head or any RMW parts to take advantage of this custom dyno tune. Jan uses Dimsport software to flash the Mini's. He's been having great results with these tunes and these tuning days.

I will post a pre-dyno checklist soon. It behooves all of us participating that certain areas are double checked so we can be efficient on the dyno and not making in the field repairs.

There is a $200 refundable deposit because we want to know you are serious. Please PM me for details.

At this time there are 2 interested Mini's we need at least 3 more.

Congrats on setting up your own dyno day Nate. Hope that your car is coming along well.

...and it had to be the same day I plan on installing my pulley here in Baton Rouge along with some other guys...

:sad:

This is gonna be a go...we have 6 right now...room for 2 more and 2 alternates in case folks don't show or we are incredibly efficient.

Even if you don't do the tune, feel free to come on out to talk with Jan or hang out with everybody else.

We now have 8. Space is available for alternates. PM me for details.

PM sent!

I have a thread going here http://www.metroplexmini.org/forum/s...320#post345320 to pick times for the tune.

Please let me know your interest and an alternate.

congrats
 

if your day is anything like ours in Atlanta, a great time will be had by all.... it is a good thing just to show , hang out and talk Minis.....even if you don't do a tune....

doing a prere tune check-up is a very good idea.....

looking forward to the results

Bob

Bob is right. We all had a good time in Atlanta and Jan did a fantastic job on the re-map. Go for it guys!

Frank

We will! Xmas is coming on the 15th as far as I'm concerned..."Ho, Ho GO!!!" :grin:

yeah looking forward to this!

UPDATE
 

UPDATE

Possibly adding a second date.

Friday Dec 14. I have spoken to Jan and he's up for it. I need to get with the shop and will tomorrow to see if they can accommodate.

If interested Please let me know ASAP.

I hate that I missed the opportunity in Atlanta? Work gets in the way of making it to Dallas so maybe another will pop up close by soon. :thumbsup:

What does the tune consist of?, is the ECU re-map, if so what are the difference between this one and the JCW 210 HP?:confused:

[quote=cucho;1892624]the tune is custom
we modify the timing and fuel, rpm limiter and traction control to optimize it for YOUR car as each car is different. The factory maps are wide ranging to fit many cars. This one fits your car

If a JCW car ever produced 210HP, the question might be worth asking, but it's never happened. A 215 WHP result for a slightly modified MCS with an RMW tune was just reported here on NAM--this is impossible with a JCW factory tune.
I wish I could pull this off--how far is Wylie from Albuquerque...?

Wylie is near Dallas.

[quote=Revolution Mini Works;1892676]Sounds great!, I wish I could make it...maybe for the next one.
And for the lucky ones doing it give us your feed back after the tune is performed.

Yes, I sure hope Jan continues his "Dyno Tune Parties" into the new year, as I checked with my wife and although the 650 miles from Albuquerque is not a problem, the timing before Christmas is, so I'll have to wait for another opportunity. Perhaps Denver, or Phoenix? There's just not enough interest here in Albuquerque for me to put one on--nobody around here seems to give a poop about making their cars go faster. Much more interest in stripes and badges and all that shite. Oh well. I'm certainly putting a Jan-tune at the top of my list of things to do in the New Year.

Can't believe I missed this! But I think I'll be in a San Fran anyways. :thumbsup: Have fun Dallasites! GO COWBOYS! :grin:

Spoke to all parties today, shop, tech, Jan. We can add the Friday date, need either 4 for a Friday afternoon tune or 8 for an all day gig.

Have 1 so far, just need 3 more.....

Jump on in, the water is nice, clean and powerful.

Have another, now looking for 2 more and we can add the Friday afternoon tunes....

Schedule can be adjusted, we can fit you in either Friday or Sat.

any updates on the results?
I have seen two so far..

I picked up about 12whp and about the same in TQ in the upper ranges. TQ curve is flatter than a west Texas ranch.

This was said by a MM.org club member about my car. "Now with the tune the Gnat is even better than last time I got to drive it. It pulls like a plowhorse all the way to 8000 rpm and very smooth."

I'll let the others report on theirs.
