RMW....Revolution MINI Works.

 

OK, time for me to chime in here........ I am the other one that Thumper is referring to who had Dynocomp custom tune my chip on the dyno.

You may remember about a few months ago I posted my dyno results for the unichip. Since then I have had issues with the unichip (kept on getting limp mode, you have probably seen my posts). Since then ALTA STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE and got me a refund (and won back a customer!!)

Anyways I had the new evotech tune installed (the same one that mini madness has) but mine was actually installed and dyno tuned by dynocomp. They were on the phone with the company in Germany doing the tuning while on the dyno and making it custom for my car. The install went on for about 45 minutes with them running the dyno, getting the results and taking to the tech, they would then tweak the ECU and rerun the dyno etc....The results are pretty impressive +25hp & just over 30tq. NO CEL's or ANY problems at all (going on a month now!) Plus it’s totally transparent to the dealer, so no issues if I have to take it in for service. Just thought you might like to know about it. It definitely needs to be installed by a company that can tune it on a dyno to get max performance!


BTW I have being shipped to me Alta's intake, boost tube & inlet tube. As soon as I get them I will be stopping by Dynocomp to install, and if possible do some before/after dyno runs..

 

ok im from America and i'd like a tune.

for the love of god help me.



deadringer....you have a before and after dyno sheet?

 

testing.. hey it worked!!

 

remember I have a "power robbing" automatic also..

 

Deadringer, you used to have the unichip right? does the evotech tune seem like it has more or less power than the unichip, (if the unichip was working perfect)? Because i have the unichip and it has had no problems. would this be an upgrade for me? are they in arizona?

 

yes they are up on the 101 & Raintree in Scottsdale
here are the differences:

• Unichip
• 155 -> 165 (+10 hp)
• 170 -> 195tq (+25tq)

• Evotech
• 151 -> 179 (+28hp)
• 171 ->205 (+34tq)

I think the Evotech is VERY MUCH well worth it, just for the fact that its working with NO limp engine modes! I was getting EVERYTIME I drove the car with the Unichip. It's hard for me to compare the two since the unchip only worked for bout 2 weeks, then its was about 2 months before I had the new Evotech installed. And during that time I was chipless. Again thanks for Alta stepping up to the plate and helping me out!

 

Here comes the big one. How much was it for the tune with the dyno???

 

I found this dino tuned bug is that kind of what its like?

 

lets just say I received "special pricing", I have done a lot of business with Richard in the past. To be honest I dont remember how much it was out the door, but I know it was less than $850 WITH the dyno time..

 

Who in the tristate NY area can do this for me? Scottsdale is a bit of a drive.

 

Looks like mostly west coast dealers:

And not all of those offer dyno tunes.

 

Any updates on these cams you guys were working on???

 

Cams should be arriving next week! as well as our upgraded turbo. I will report back as soon as possible with results.

 

ahh, turbo kit...

 

I can hardly wait!

 

what brand/model?

 

George,

How long until you can tune the 09 JCW? Or can you already?

 

Did 2 this week and one last week, no issues. 09's are a go! No 09 JCW's yet , hopefully soon

 

Hmm.. Now I gotta get my next MINI a little early if I want to catch your Jan/Feb Hawaii trip. I'm not supposed to be getting it until mid-march.

 

How much are the 09 Factory JCWs getting from the Evotech?

 

MINI Madness,

are these dyno tunes or just a new map?

 

Don'tworry I will still run you the same deal at a later date

 

We haven't done a 09 JCW yet
