OK, sooo now that you seem to have your tune sorted out, are you happy with the results??

 

Oh man.....I just contacted jan for a tune on my 2011. This thread has me scared now:(

 

I hear you . . . . This is the kind of stuff that has me leaning toward either NM Engineering or Renntech.

I figured I would see how you fared with the RMW tune before deciding.

 

Lol I don't Wana be a guinea pig. Well who ever is within my budget I will go for first.

 

I was surprised about this issue since I know big bucks were spent on a jig to hold everything in place while working on the ECU. I can't say for sure, but perhaps it was careless re-assembly since while in the jig things should be very secure.

Some things you only do once, and this may be in that category. (I would hope) Whatever was done, would appear to be easy to avoid in the future.

 

theres still a couple problems im having , im getting a code thrown bank 1 fuel system to rich, and i have rough idle it jumps 200-300 rpm when idling .

im also noticing every time i wot it im having different boost levels , which is odd i would think that at a certain rpm i would get the max psi and it would stay there until i let go off the throttle. could it be possible i need a aftermarket blow off valve? because when im at wot the blow off valve seems to go off when im at wot . sorry for any noob questions im pretty new to mini.

 

im comapring the tune to the 335i ive had before i tuned it myself and when the boost kicks in at wot it would be at max psi until redline or until i let go off the gas.

 

Boost levels are usually not consistant on the R56...boost is dictated off of load targets rather than an actual boost target. Load will fluctuate based on several factors, thus you get different boost pretty much every time you go WOT. However, it should still always fall within a certain range.

Boost will drop off on the K03 because its tiny...it has almost no lag, and will reach full boost very quickly, but will not hold full boost till the redline like you want.

 

Gotta find out how much jans guna charge for the tune.

 

$500 for straight tune and I think $200 more for his tool with it.

 

I believe a RMW tune runs $600.

 

Straight from his website $500 for tune and $369 for flash tool.

 

Anyone have Jan's email address would be really appreciated thanks

 

Jbrueg@***.net or Jan@revolutionmotorworks.com

 

I'll sell you my flash tool I purchased from Jan for $50. It will cost another $100 to re-set it to work on another car. (sold)

 

Thanks

 

what is the boost level after jans tune? the most consistent i have is 16.5psi. he also didnt eliminate the cel light from the catless downpipe , is there any other way to get rid off it?

 

+1 on the boost and cel light from the catless.

 

I wasnt about to purchase the RMW on my 2011 until I saw this post. Going with RENNtech tune.

 

"was" maybe?

I am fairly confident that all of the tuners are able to tune to disregard the catless/high flow downpipe CEL trigger. Why the OP did not receive this component of the tune is peculiar - after all Jan rode in the car with him.

 

i gave up on jan to try and do anything else with my car, ive wrote him about the partial refund he told me he would give back, and ive even asked that i dont need the partial refund if i can come by his shop when i will be in the area this summer to get rid off the cel light and double check that my tune is correct and got zero replies.
