Sometimes the shop rents out the dyno for the whole day at a set price, and everybody divides the cost (should work out to less than the hourly dyno fee). Don't know if there is such an arrangement for this date.

 

Count me in for that day. I have an R53.

 

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what happens if the dealer resets the software back to stock?

 

If dealer sets the ecu to stock, then you have to pay Jan again! for another
RMW tune.

 

Will it be full price for another tune?

 

I'm not sure, but I'll find out and let you know.

 

Sign me up too Checkers!

I need a R53 tune and Jan's injectors as well...is Sunday the only day left for timeslots now?

thanks

I believe that Jan saves copies of all his tunes, so his fee should be just for reloading the ECU. Doing the entire tune involves a dyno run, adjust the tune, check the results with another dyno run, and repeat the cycle until satisfied.

 

What I would really like is to get the tool with 2 tunes one with a 91 octane tune (Saturday) and another with 100 octane tune (Sunday). But pretty sure that would be unaffordable for me at this point.

 

You'd need to purchase the flash tool that holds up to 3 tunes from Jan. Plus you'd have to pay for dyno time on Sunday. I'm sure the 2nd tune is included in the purchase.

 

Can Jan tell if a car has already been tuned before he starts? I picked up a 04 MCs from a third party and I belived it's already chiped. But not for sure, the people I got it from didn't have much information on it.

 

Yes he can.

 

Thank you.

 

Checkers, I'd be interested, but I'd like to know specifically what will be done to tune a 06 R53 JCW, if any parts are needed, and what difference in drivability I'll find? Should I send an email to Jan? newbs49's prior response was far too terse for me to understand.

Thanks for setting this up Checkers!

 

Sending an e-mail to Jan would be the best idea, but I'm sure you do not any other items. When you find out form Jan and are still interested let me know A.S.A.P because we are almost full.

 

Ok guys I called Jan and he said that after you get a tune from him he keeps a copy of you tune and if your dealership resets your ECU he can send you the tool to reload it. The cost will be what ever the frieght is plus insurance in case the tool is lost.

 

@Checkers: Spoke to Jan and got some details about his tune. Please add me to the attendee list if there is still space available.

Thanks!

 

I got you down. See you then.

 

Ok guys I have edited my first post and listed the days I have you scheduled along with any extras you asked for. If you have any problems with what I have listed please let me know as soon as possible.

I am in for sure Saturday, but thinking of a Sunday tune as well. I will let you know if finances permit 2nd tune.

 

WOW dont try and race any of their employees diesel trucks from the lights because you will loose.

 

I went to Left Coast Diesel yesterday and it's pretty easy to get to. Take 680 to highway 4 head east on 4 till you get to the Solano way exit, make a left at the stop sign, go under the freeway go right and it's about a half a block up on the left in a complex.
