If you haven’t had an RMW update lately, you may want to look into it. : )
If you haven’t had an update from Jan in a while, you may want to contact him. Like many on here, I had the Dimsport tune.
When Alta came out, I tried their AP tune. Jeff has been extreeeemely helpful getting tunes out and while I was at the track, I had several days to test it. I had a great tune that was making the car run the way I wish it would have from the factory. Since then, Jan now sells the AP tuning system as you know. Because I paid for the Dimsport tune, my updates from him have been for the Dimsport. Well, a few months ago, Jan sent me an update. It was great, it had more power than I had ever seen. Unfortunately I was seeing a CEL which turns out was something to do with engine thermostat temps. Jan lives in CA and his settings didn’t reflect that I was driving my car in 15-20 degree weather. Not a big deal but I asked Jan to fix it. He sent me a new tune about a month ago. I’ve had the car on the lift messing with the diffusers so I hadn’t installed it. I finally got around to doing so this last week. The tune is the same but now I get a different CEL. It’s a MAP sensor P0105. I swapped back and forth between different tunes from stock to AP to RMW. It seemed only the last tune Jan sent me caused this light. Again, I asked Jan to fix it. During the last week, I had driven 300-400 miles on different tunes and not once seen the light... yet, once I used Jan’s last tune, the light would come on. I explained this to him and he worked on modifying that tune. While I was waiting, I was running the AP tune and lo and behold, the CEL popped up yesterday. Uh oh, maybe it wasn’t Jan’s tune. I mean, I had been driving several weeks with other tunes and never once saw a CEL but literally within 2 miles, I would get a CEL when I installed the RMW tune. So I swapped out the MAP sensor with another yesterday. Coincidently Jan sent me the final tune. I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT THIS LAST TUNE IS ABSOLUTELY FREAKING RIDICULOUSLY FAST Holy Crap, I drove the car yesterday and could easily spin the tires in 3rd gear. It was the smoothest map I’ve gotten from him yet. When I start the car, it idles smooth, when I pull away, it’s veeery smooth and stock feeling yet it has the power of a big block. This thing is a BEAST!! So, I hate to inundate Jan with more work but if you haven’t had a tune from him lately, you may want to just check it out. I’m on my way to buy new tires...lol. Mark |
I wonder how much different a Jan tune is than an Alta stage I tune. Because AP is the tool to load the maps....does Jan charge for individual canned tunes?

I wish there was a way to convert to the AP tool. Then I’d have the best of both worlds. Mark |

we can custom tune it there if you like I'll figure out a price as I have the ALTA ACCESSPORT software |

Is it worth getting the AP tool from you? Or should I just stick with the DimSport?
Also, are you making any progress with the 2011 tunes? Mark is killing me everytime I see him riding around in the 'Crush.:sad: |

I'm speaking to Jeff @ Alta next week, we should have some updates on AP conversions:thumbsup:
Did Mark give you a ride in it?:popcorn: I can tune 2011s now but I have to open the ECU.....it's a royal pain Which flash tool would you recommend - the AccessPort or DimSport? What kind of numbers are you seeing out of the 11's? You mentioned something on the phone about EGT's. |

Just curious because I have a chance to get a used DimSport for CHEAP!
Should I get it or hold off 'til you "crack the codes"? |

Jan,
Just sent you a PM... Is this new update Mark is referring to good for the 2010 JCW's? Mark - question for you: Do you notice any difference in linearity of the boost between this tune and the last? Or does it 'all come at once' (i.e. - hard to modulate)? Thanks, Greg |

Or does it 'all come at once' (i.e. - hard to modulate)? Thanks, Greg No, that is what I was describing as smooth. Some of the tunes are more aggressive as far as not being linear on the throttle but this tune is VERY smooth. Think of it as a super aggressive JCW tune compared to stock. Oh hell, that doesn't even help it. Here, this will. I can spin the tires through 3rd gear... how's that for a description? :D Mark |
So I'm guessing you'd take this new RMW tune over the alta tune at this point?
|
Thanks Mark - sounds Addictive!
I like the fact that you can more accurately keep it on the edge. |
Hope to get my tune from Jan soon, this threads aren't helping!!:grin:
