The service advisor tried to tell me it's out of warranty since I have a pulley, but he said he'd try and take care of it.

Let's hope they fix it tomorrow so I can have my MINI back. I hate driving rentals.

Even with the belt slipping I saw a 10hp gain and the power is right at the tip of my toes. It's a lot more fun to dirve and the weird thing is that the gas mileage actually improved very slightly. THANKS JAN!!!

I was having hesitation on take-off and a flat spot around 3200 rpm and rough acceleration from 3500-4000 or so. Now there is no hesitation, no flat spot and everything is really smoothed out.

I received one print-out, but it wasn't the highest gain because the last Dyno they did on Shadow (the one that was printed) wasn't as high as the one before, so he re-installed that map back.

Thanks to Jan for coming out, for ingsoc for organizing it, and to Renn Haus for the dyno. What a nice shop they have along with professional staff.

Great to see Keith again and nice to meet some new faces.

Felt great at work in FL sun even while sitting in a parking lot with ac on then as i left if still felt great. Its nice knowing that my car is in good running order now since I put an Avrg of 150mi per day on it.

three thumbs up .

For me personally not to much of an improvement over what I had on previous Dyno`s / Tunes but it was found that I have some obscure problem with some air /fuel readings . Even so Jan was able to make my car run like it never has before ,so linear is that the word ?? responsive ?? smooth ?? ALL that and more .
Only problem I have now is , I got to learn how to launch from stop again , to try and save on tire wear also environmental smoke pollution .

A new MINI Friendly company has been made with Renn-House .The boss and staff were wonderfully supportive to everyone .Hospitality was at its best . I believe we will be hearing more from this company .

Jan worked his *** off all though the long day . A pleasure to have met him in person . I think every one came away with a more educated understanding what the tune / Dyno was all about .

Mr. Ingsoc (Mahir)

Thank you for holding this event together ,I thought at one point it was going to fail , but glad I was proven wrong . A great bunch of Mini folks. a great day .

Edit: Before I was getting 30.1 -31.5 mpg after the tune and no more CEL/SES light im around what most are getting 27ish.

No no, I got that part, but tuning the injectors isn't going to affect the OBC's calculation of gas milage. As far as your car is concerned it has 340 cc injectors in right now, they're just only squirting at 35-45% duty cycle (Cause your real injectors are squirting so much more fuel at each injector pulse, that they don't need to be running at 65-75% anymore). Tuning for 380's or 440's just entails dialing fuel trims down. It doesn't actually mean that Jan "Told" the car what size injectors you're running.

Case in point, my car has been tuned, it says I average about 27 mpg driving ( , yea, ok...). I think I averaged around 20 when the car was STOCK. Somehow I doubt I'm averaging 27 now that I'm making 100 HP over that.

Sounds like it just "Learned" how you drive it, or you've been driving it harder with your newfound power, .

If I'm wrong, and you really did figure out how to convince the car it has larger injectors for OBC purposes Jan let me know. I'm too lazy to calculate my fuel economy every gas tank.

So from what I understand only thing somewhat reliable is the outside temp cause i know the avg speed isnt. Above 70 im off more than 5mph im guessing my tires but im too lazy to check em. I also think I missread I thought I was getting pulled over by the BS police.

Jack,

What numbers did you make?
