Do you really think you are the only guy in country who reads Hex code? Jan doesn't but he is smart enough to find a guy who does to work with . Do you seriously think Jan raced out and some how found a car in Socal that had your tune to find the address . You tune in AZ man.

I understand getting a little upset. You thought you had the key to city only to find out there was a second key.

Jaytech you have to understand that brainwashing is an art.

its exactly the same thing when someone plays with the throttle
response map on the minis to make the car to feel more responsive.
Its funny to read posts about people gaining little hp and having the impression that after this reflash they had a one of kind tune


If someone of your clients did replicate your map then he did a lot of bad to the tuning community because it will postpone your further
efforts on reverse engineering this stupid ecu.

I have worked with a lot of reflashing softwares for mini coopers here in Greece including dimsport and until some months ago NONE had a proper
way to calibrate the injector size. Everyone was doing it by altering
the air flow quantity and enrichment coeff etc.

we have also seen manually fuel pressure regulators to solve the problem

correct me if I am wrong ....

then why he waited 2 years to do it?

he is trying for the last year to show a proper tune of his 2 lt engine
with the 550cc injectors fitted but where it is, always running back at
the 440cc?


Have you seen a mini cooper with stock ecu running 550cc injectors
running like if it had the stock ones ?

Did Paul from 132o in the UK help design the new Mynes header? The reason I ask is that I know you guys are buddies and his favorite header is the Janspeed which is very very similar to yours.

Same size primaries
Same length primaries
Same type collector
Same length and transition after collector
Same flex joint
Same type cat

?????????????

You changed a couple things but it really looks the same as the Janspeed. They even offer the same cat delete?

I hope the similarities comment is just sarcasm, because the cylinder/collector order is different too.

Actually the similarities with the Janspeed is a compliment...Tests from the UK has shown that the Janspeed header produced the most HP!!! even more than RMWs....

Glad you agree the Mynes header looks very similar to the Janspeed .

Mynes proved the RMW "STREET" header made great TQ against their amazingly strong company car. As for the UK guys that was one car that was tuned by 1320 that has never made good TQ. The US cars with the RMW "STREET" header make great TQ. Do a search.

Makes no difference as they both dump into the same 4/1 collector.

Does it matter whether the UK car was producing less TQ? Fact of the matter is that, it was:

- Same car
- Same driver
- Same tune
- Same day
- Same dragstrip

1320s swapped the RMW street with the Janspeed..and their tests showed that the Janspeed produced more HP/TQ and was 3mph more over the RMWs street headers on the 1/4.....

(NOTE: all info is from hearsay)

Reason why Ive posted this info is cos...even thou LB said it is similar to Janspeed (IMO it does not at all look similar), but similarities to another brand of headers (which works) is not all bad...

This statement is in error.

The cylinder / collector order makes a differance as the timing of the exhaust pulses entering the collector have everything to do with how well the header will flow . To put it simply as each pulse enters the collector area they can either assist the next pulse along or create confuson and hinder the flow.

Ah... sure. So did you guys form a lynch mob to get some business back? ABC check Randy

So how are the sales of the header you guys brought out at AMVIV 08 doing?

The lynch mob has been forming itself for awhile now .

The 08 header was a really nice piece , worth 16 hp alone which we thought was quite acceptable but just proved too expensive for the Mini market as a whole. Come to think of it , it never set off any check engine lights nor had to have any additional pieces welded to it as a " fix " .

And to repeat , as you are avoiding the issue, your statement about the cylinder collector order not making a difference is still in error.

I didn't avoid anything. Go back and read Randy. The word was similar. I agree they changed it... Just a little.
