Let's try to keep this thread limited to the feedback from those tuned by Mynes.

 

Sigh.

 

aww but its no fun when everyone plays by the rules...all right all right ill stop

 

I thought the thread were for MINI owners who has a MYNES tuned, maybe I misread the title or something. But it's all good

 

What have you added to this thread? Nothing. Simply taken it off topic and made such great comments as "...thats kinda weak.." "....you should be pulling..." and ".....on average the numbers are..."

THAT my friend is weak.

What are you so threatened by? You are not going to buy any of these parts or get a tune by them so please, pray tell what is your point here in this thread?

 

hey...freedom of speech...besides i had some questions and no sense in taking up server space making another thread

 

Yeah yeah, THATs why you are in here making assnine comments. Ok, guy

 

i never said i wouldnt buy parts...as i stated before im still skeptical...i was the same way about RMW until i saw what they do...its the way im with every new company or new product...i dont just go right out and get it...i want to see if it works and consistently works before i invest my money

and besides i saw something that looked odd to me and i commented on it...everyone is allowed to have an opinion i just voice mine...habit of being in the military and being required to say what i have to without tact at times

oh and my comments about it being weak were taken out of context...i never said weak as in it sucked...it just seemed"weak" because of the numbers posted and i know people who have many if not the same mods and have produced more hp/tq...like i said i call it like i see it

 

Wow that was a long time ago.

Well I stand corrected Mr. FU.

Ok, back on track boys and remember, only positive posts please .

Longboard

 

You're comparing numbers at the Hub to numbers at the Wheels, apples to oranges...

 

hey we are supposed to keep it to positive comments...i have to be a good boy...no more stirrin the pot

 

Why don't you dyno your car in Mustang Dyno?

 

To be honest, I just read 1-1.5 pages of crap because this thread got off topic. Can we please get back on topic and leave the bashing out of this because I am eager to hear about these Mynes tunes

 

I am with you. I'd like to learn more from these guys who wrote their own tuning software and first to crack the Mini software.

 

Agreed...

1. How your car was running before our tune?

She was running just fine. The day before I had a head & cam install at Johnny's...

2. How it runs after the tune?

Afterwards she runs fine also. Not much difference down low, but above 3k, quite noticeable. How much was the head, cam or tune... I don't know.

3. What mods?

Engine / drivetrain wise...

HAI, 15/2, DFIC2, 380's, Cosworth BVH, new plugs, Newman Cam, SuperSprint header (ceramic coated & stock cat) and 2.5" straight exhaust

4. Any issues or problems with your MINI after the tune?

None. No lights or anything like that. This tune was done almost 2 months ago... The only "problem" is the increased noise, which is to be expected when pumping more air; and attributable to head, cam and tune... I have a straight exhaust, so louder than most.

5. What suggestions do you have for us?

Find a way to do a remote tune and/or at least travel the country to help others I don't know... These threads, that one in particular, should prove to be be quite helpful as a repository of information.

Someone asked earlier about how many pulls are needed to get a tune. I suppose that might be case dependent, but on mine, we did a dozen or so as I recall, spaced about 10 minutes apart.

Hubie made it clear early-on that his dyno reads lower that most and if I'd be cool with that. As we see in this thread, that seems to be a concern for some. Not for me. I just see it as a tool, and want to use the same one, at the same location and ideally with the same operator...

Thanks much.

 

Hey Tony, it looks like you guy's left in the 380's? Was told with those kind of mods the 550's should be used. I will have almost the same mods as you Still having fun with it?

 

Yes, I was informed that 550's would be the way to go if I wish to extract more power. I wish I would have known that prior to the tune. I had so much done before finally getting a dyno tune, that too should have happened to maximize the session. Oh well... That's ok. Give something to look forward to I guess...

Hubie also noticed that the SC belt tensioner was bottoming-out, at the positive stop. He recommended a new, smaller belt. I haven't yet done so as I want to remove the A/C, and I'll take care of it then...

I live in a canyon, so yes, still having fun with it! Plenty busy at work though...

 

Was this a joke? Or does your car really go into limp mode at 139mph? Sorry, I didn't get it. I was just reading this thread and this comment struck me as weird AZ

 

I think that's sush's other part going into 'limp mode' when we saw his rear wing coming off at that speed and hanging on one side . He was just joking... Sush, "limp mode" does not impress the girls, somebody has given you bad advice

 

sorry Tony, at the time of your tune, we were still testing out the various injector sizes. Whenever you need those Bosch 550s, let me know. I can always FedEx you a set np Hubie also stocks them at his location

Cheers.
mike

 

Nice, I thought it must be a inside joke or something

 

I saw one in Seattle Tune 10/2008:
RMW BVH
Newman Cam
440 cc injectors
RMW Headers Shorty
Miltek Catback

234 wHP/7600 rpm Dynapak
177 wtq/5320 rpm

It only shows that numbers vary from car to car.

 

Or I can say...whoa... the power is there, but that torque is kinda low. Every car will react differently to mods. Same as if every MINI that is built from the factory have the same running values, then it would be no need for BMW/Siemens engineers to add adaptations (learning) into the software right?

 

Mike, no need to say sorry... I'd rather have you guys sort things-out before having others be the guinea pig...

Maybe not the right thread, but given the mention of torque, with the data points you guys now have, what is the performance impact of the 05/06 tranny, compared to the older one?

 

It's actually quite significant b/c the impact is global - meaning the the entire curve is elevated at the mid-rpm range... I will gather a few graphs off the dyno and compare them to our 06 Green Machine and show you the difference. I will post them in the MPF (mynes perf. forum) for the in-depth discussion.

We've also completed another E85 conversion on a 03 MCS with the MegaMynes header and our comparison would be a little more equal. The only mod that he lacks was the cam.. i will also post this in the MPF tomorrow.

cheers.
