Well, he's a little shorter, a lot thinner, and we don't know how he sings but he is the King of Minis. I took my stock 05 JCW car down to Jan, OK it had an OBX header, with the expectation that I'd get high 230's and 200ft.lbs. after seeing other folks results. When Jan called and said on the second run I was in the 240 club it was great. When he called after the session and said 259 I thought he was trying to pull one over on me. No joke, 259, stock intercooler, bottom end, ignition etc. Jan already posted the graph in another thread but here it is again.
I don't know if I can add anything more to the customer service accolades that we have all read or heard about, but they are all true. He won't steer you wrong and his products are the best value for the money bar none. Now I need to find a way to wipe the stupid grin off my face every time I hit 7500, and hope in the future that he finds a way to include a discounted V1 with the full monty package.

Mods are:

RMW Head
RMW Cam
RMW Complete Exhaust
440cc Injectors
17% Helix Pulley
RMW Tune

Well thats what contributed to the power, there's a few other things strapped to it as well.

 

Nice! Where can I get my hands on some of these RMW parts? Just through Jan?

 

Holy S**T !!!!! have fun.

 

generally how much for a tune? Maybe ill save up for 1!

 

I your area I'm not sure. I think Helix carries them. You missed out, Jan was just there last weekend. Give him a call, I'm sure he can help you out.

 

Holy S**T doen't even begin to descibe the change. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.

 

oh i am located near his shop... in southern cali...

 

wow 259 i can't imagine this little car with that . two words.... tire rack .

 

Id be happy with breaking 200hp...lol... Think i can do it without a head or cam?

 

drool...

 

"Jan" is a guy?

Here I was thinking this hot chick was going around tuning Minis.

 

Big:
Please help me understand. First, you say stock 05 JCW, then you mention those mods, then you mention other things strapped to it as well.
Exactly what was your configuratiion for the awesome 259hp ?

Thanks...........

 

mini racer,

That was the exact engine configuration, that was me just saying the rest of the car has been slightly massaged as well. I don't let my wife see the running tally on the car, she doesn't want to know we've bought two Mini's

 

I built street rods, goodguy A gas coupe.. weight 1950 lbs and went mid 7's with a BBC 632 Cu in motor... sold it all a year ago..About to get a mini clubman s.. and U guys are testing me totally.. Ok what needs to be added to this engine to make 200 rwh.... Oh I am the senior here so I did let down and bought an automatic.. so just alittle help for u mini fast street guys or gals.. thanks CATGUY

 

I think there were a few people at the dyno ready to pull his engine and do an all nighter to put it into their cars

Even the dyno operator continues to shake his head as these cars continue to amaze. He said a few yrs ago he thought 200whp would be about it for them with the stock supercharger.... now he is expecting me to bang out 280whp soon..........

 

Anyone out west use the portland Oregon mini tune shop... What does the automatic ppl have for good street power on the turbos.. What mods are needed... thanks CATGUY

I don't think it is that far away

 

they are 800 miles from me... thanks alot for ur help..

 

I don't either but hey.... let's build a "little" excitement

 

Jan or Danny.

 

You're going to be hard pressed to make 260 whp on an R56. An automatic may not even take that much power before it blows. Oh, and MINI's aren't rear wheel drive?

 

This may be a stupid question but why are some cars stronger than others?
Any thoughts on why some cars are putting out more hp with the same mods?

 

we do leak downs and compression tests on most cars....
there is where you find the sleepers
