is that the 135 Dyno sheet? Any way to get a better pic?

 

it's over 400tq now and even more hp
going to work on it some more later today if time permits

 

Thats a nice improvement. You may want to talk to Ken. He's thinking of a tune on his 135. Selling his MINI

 

This is killing me! Jan will be here in Northern VA in a couple of weeks and I'm liking the numbers that you guys are posting. I especially love the comment about having a place to go when you downshift and step on it! I may not sleep for a week before our tuning date!

 

I previously had my car tuned by Jan in Rochester last spring. I have since had 380cc injectors installed.
Jan retuned my car today and smoothed out some bumps in the power delivery. For a mid 2002 Cooper S with 105,500 on the odo it still broke the 200whp barrier on the Helix 'Heartbreaker' dyno. I managed so pick up another 9hp and 8;b/ft at the wheels with the 380cc injectors over the last tune with the stock injectors.

Great time hanging out and chatting with Eric, Ralph, Jan, Tim & Mike.

 

Glad to see you picked up some from Rochester last year. Your old motor still seems happy.
Larry
When's Chili coming in? I want to see that bebore and after with the meth kit.

 

i want my rmw tune

 

Hey Larry,
My mistake - I could have sworn that I was told Dave was in on Tue - but anyways he should be there now cooling the motor.

 

Yep, it's sure fun to be able to go up to 7.2k every now and then.

 

Larry,
My tune slot is Wed @ 10:30 am. 13 hours to go ...

Trust me I will post up the #'s

 

likewise mendra.....time sure did fly

i trust you enjoyed the ride home. i felt like my low-mid rev range has found it's inner warp drive. everything feels smoother......i looked like all the way home.


i look forward to hooking up with you knuckleheads soon.....at the dragon! should be a good phillymini contingent this year

and someone please tell david the dyno is reading abnormally high, or i may have to hear stories about "the tune" all dragon long

 

Okay so I'm back from Helix and I have to say I am VERY pleased with my tune. There is a pretty big difference in power, and I was having a lot of fun on the highway. My friend with a Stage 2 STI used to pull bus lengths on me on the highway, now it's only a couple of car lengths

The TQ increase is pretty awesome, and so is the HP increase, although as Jan pointed out, power up top is limited by my stock FMIC... I know i'll be picking up a Helix FMIC this summer to fix that.

Either way, this car really pulls now. Put your foot down in 6th gear and you quickly realize how big of a difference this tune makes.

So as for numbers:
Baseline dyno: 173whp and 207wtq
After tune: 188whp and 250wtq

Peak gains: +15whp and + 43wtq

(I think Jan might have gotten a couple of more hp on the last dyno pull, but I didn't get the numbers on that one)

And keep in mind, this is on Helix's 'heartbreaker' dyno which reads a bit low

PS- Sorry for the horrible "scan" of my graph, the only camera i had around was my iPhone

 

That's an amazing amount of torque gained!

 

Did Jan ever end up road tuning your in carlisle? What did you end up putting down on the dyno?

 

Yep
I'm very pleased, I was really surprised it made that much TQ.

 

^^ ^^^ Nice Tim I am going to post up my numbers later today.

Wednesday 4/7:

9:00 Jerzrunr

10:30 Chili MINI PA

When I get home later I will scan my results from the Helix Mustang Dyno with my RMW/Jan Tune.
I will then attempt to post the results the wonderfull NAM.

 

hey john,

yes, jan wound up doing a street tune in carlisle as the mini would not go on the dynapac with the tsw lug conversion kit....we had a good time beating up on acura integras...which the local kids there seem to favor. but unfortunately no #'s were available. the car was noticably quicker.

meanwhile, as you know, i have gone back to the stock header. being the loudest mini at events, not to mention my daily commute got pretty old. so, with a 15% pulley, rmw street cam, jcw injectors, and the milltek i wound up with 195 ft-lb torque and 195 whp. my gains over the baseline pull were modest, but the drivability/butt dyno factor was definitely improved

i suspect that with an lsd, i will be much more of a force at the track this year....albeit a quieter force


dave, are you there yet?

 

Yup just sitting here chillin on the curb out back at Helix with my Starbucks waitting for Jan and Eric to finish the first car of the day.

 

Have a good time Dave. I want to know the before and after with the meth kit tune.

Tell Jan I said hello and I need the info from the BMW tunes for the guys in Rochester for next month.

Thanks
Larry

 

Ok Larry will do. Last tune by jan was 245 whp on a dyno jet a year ago.
I will let you know the base line #, no meth tune #'s and my daily driver with meth tune.

g@d D@mn posting from an iPhone is b!tch!

 

What's changed since?

 

All he really added was the meth kit since last year. I just want to see how much his numbers have changed with it.

 

yeah definitely not as much fun for me anymore lol. Now I have no chance of beating you in auto-x unless you cant put the power down, thats my only shot. In case anyone was wondering with these numbers you will pull on a stock sti and be a good run for a stage 1 sti

 

I am still here and it is hot as he'll. It is 95 in the dyno room!
I had to dump the 50/50 meth/water boost juice and go pick up am $8.00 gal of pure vp meth from the getto.
Car on dyno now doing pulls and getting tuned.

 

Why pure meth. Didn't you have a mix in it before. Can't see running pure meth on the street. Were you running shitie washer fluid? I can see a mix of pure meth and water.
