+6

Even though I have a tune already, I want to be able to put it back to stock just in case.

 

+7 for the norcal tune - can someone local look into a dyno shop and contact Jan. I would but I live in NV. SF is a lot closer than LA! I think with the little response we have already, it would be quite easy to fill up 2 days

 

Opps, are we "plus 1'ing" for a Norcal tune or a standalone OBDII reader?

If it's for the tune...well, no need. If it's for the standalone, I'll take one.

Driving Ambition in gold river(which is in sac), right by highway 50...they have done alot of mini stuff in the past as well.

 

There's also DynoSpot Racing in SJ and Edge Racing in Dublin...

 

Any more R56 tunes or updates on the R56 flash device?

Happy tuned R56 folks, looking for more?

We'll have a few more in the Seattle area after July 24-26, but it would be great to get some additional feedback from people who've been tuned. what works, what doesn't ? what mods were worth the money ?

 

so freakin jealous. I don't get back home from a vacation until late on the 26th.

 

I think some of the BRR folks have used Dynospot in the past, successfully. This might be a good location?

 

Don,

Though I was originally "unhappy" with the "numbers", I have come to realize that the car doesn't really need much more.... I mean, there's no such thing as too much but almost with this car.

The only thing I'd really like is to smooth out the torque curve.... for some reason, JCW's tend to dip unlike the MCS's. It doesn't matter since my low dip is the usual high for an MCS...

The car is on the verge of torque steer... depending on the stance of the car when you nail it, it will pull you easily to one side if the road is a bit uneven.

I had woman in a GTR3 ask me what I had done to the car because she said not only could she hear me coming, it sounded mean as hell. The exhaust sounded great when I got it but the extra HP really changes the exhaust sound.

If I were to do it all over again, I think I would have kept the mods I've done but probably stayed with a JCW CAI instead.

Would I do the tune all over again? Absafreakinlutely.... I can't wait to have Jan come to Thomasville so I can spend a day tweaking what I already have.

Would Jan do tunes at MOTD?
Just trying to plan ahead

 

Downpipe and intercooler

I believe the methanol will pay big dividends with this engine

we have a pulse width modulation system coming for direct injection engines
it will be the first world wide sytem that truly works as a "TRUE" PWM

 

Here're my before and after curves.


Current mods:
Alta CAI
Alta Turbo Intake tube
Alta Catback
Alta Intercooler
VIP hotside IC muffler delete

Many thanks to Jan. It made the Angeles Crest run this weekend outstanding.

 

glad to see everyone had fun !

 

Jan, any update on the VVT maps? and flash tool?

My I drove my clubman to MINIs on Top from NJ and had a blast on the 9 hour drive. Thanks for QUALITY tune Jan.

 

Jan.
I'm looking forward to my tune in Seattle at the end of this month. I am considering ditching the foam CAI in my r56s while keeping the dp and larger intercooler. If you think the CAI is largely insignificant for gains, I'll remove it prior to meeting you. Please let me (and others) know your thoughts. I am considering putting back the stock intake and a high flow filter because I am tired of the additional noise.

 

Do you think you would have any issues tuning a car with a bigger turbo? gt28rs...

 

Not big on the CAI as they do very little if anything, very similar to the R53s

If I have the car in front of me, I'm sure I can tune it. Trying to the 1st one remotely.... doubt it. Hard to see if anything is mechanically wrong with it

For those asking we are still working on the VVT maps

 

+1 more

I am number 8.

 

Cool, Im planning on going with the GT28RS kit as soon as I get back in the country, but Im hesitant because nobody has had one successfully tuned.

Good thing your local.

Let us know how it goes with the remote tune.

 

VVT maps eh ? I hope that's under Active development, ie. done before July 24 ...

 

Jan,

Rumor has it you've done norcal tunes before... specifically at this location:
http://goodies-speedshop.com/ (they have a dynapack!)
Think we could get another one soon? There is clearly enough interest to occupy your time for at least a day.

 

LATEST UPDATE*****************

I've found quite a few more maps............
I tested it on an automatic..........

All I have to say is this::::: If I could only make the R53 autos shift like this............

 

So things are going well?
Is there a possible ETA for the programer?

 

I'm waiting for word of a NorCal tune too.

AND... I'm really glad to hear about your success with the auto trans.
