Pretty much the ONLY other company with an R56 ECU tune is ALTA with their Unichip unit. I think they're running 19 to 20 PSI, but don't quote me on that.

 

I heard there might be two maf sensors??

 

Doesn't Unichip also make their own tune for the R56?

 

Yup

 

I'll have to check but that would be strange! Actually it looks like the o2 sensor is a wideband, so the first order of business will be figuring out how the wideband and maf are used for fuel enrichment.

 

cool, looking forward to what you come up with. I've got the factory JCW Stage1 tune, and although I can notice the extra 17hp, I'm always looking for more

Any idea on the boost levels on that JCW tune?

 

If you get the numbers flashing in your sig line at those prices, you'll be very popular here

 

Yes that's what ALTA's UNIchip is running. It tapers to about 14psig at redline because the turbo is way past it's recommended efficiency at that flow rate.

Unfortunately I haven't datalogged a JCW kit; not sure of the boost levels there, however it's seems it's not as high as 19psig based on drivers impressions.

There are not two MAF sensors, only one. There are two MAP sensors however. The TMAP is in the post IC boost tube, and the MAP is in the intake manifold.

Well, I have an r53 but Id wanna meet some other mini owners and maybe do group buys or something!

 

Looking forward to your products, can't wait to c what you guys come out with

 

No, sorry I don't have that info. It's probably conservative, seams like they do that so they can still offer factory warranty. I'm sure there is more power this engine can make with the right tune.

The Mini Challenge car is supposedly putting out 210hp, I'm not sure if there are any other modifications other then a re-map of the ecu, maybe others can answer that. larger turbo maybe???

 

Well this thread went silent suddenly...?

How's it progressing Terry? Have you cracked the ciphers yet?

Fingers crossed there will eventually be a factory JCW [running the lower compression pistons enginew/higher airflow & boost] version of your Hot Pill...

 

They bailed on the R56 juice box. From what I gather reading his threads, he was having issues 20% of the time and put their efforts back towards BMW.

Perhaps when things get further along with the BMW, they'll put their attention back to the mini...

Thanx much Mark. Oh well, tunes of these cars will come I'm sure. I'm in no hurry.

 

I agree and to be honest, I saw a thread where Jan at RMW was doing a tune in NC soon.

I'm not sure if he does the R56 yet but if he does, I'm there.

I wanted to go with the Alta but frankly, it seems to be too much of a hit and miss for me according to everything I've read on here.

(believing half of what I read...lol)

Besides, my last 6 vehicles have been forced induction and I really prefer not to use piggyback systems anyways.

In fairness to Terry, I believe he did say that they would get back on the R56 project as soon as the next generation BMW ECUs were addressed. So I don't think that the R56 project is in the trash, at least based upon the last information I read. Lots of information here:

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate they were completely trashing the idea... just at the moment, they went back to the BMW stuff. I'm sure once that's done, they'll play some more.

After reading his posts, I get the feeling changing the R56's ecu maps is much trickier than expected.

I hope so, cause I'd like something.

Mark

 

Nope, Jan can't tune R56's yet...

He's waiting for Dimsport to release their software for it. This is what I will be waiting for as far as ECU options go!!

 

when is it comin outtt

 

It's NOT!!!
I got an email today from Terry that they are not going to make one for the MINI.

 

Booo!

 

subscribed!!!!
Please keep us up to date on progess . Thanks

forget it, didnt read the whole thread and got too happy.
Oh well.

 

There will be no update. They are not going to make one for the MINI, they changed there mind.

 

Imagine That..... FAIL !
