Tank ventilation valve or gas cap loose

 

Either way, its not related to the new tune . . . that's good.

 

I hope so, I was thinking maybe because of added boost pressure that it came up. I erased the code checked the fuel cap and will see what happens. The tune is great though.

 

So... I turned off my SB today and I think all of my issues are attributed to the SB. The car drives more like your car without the SB but with the sport mode ON. I'm going to continue driving the w/o the SB and see how its goes... Wish me luck!!

 

Yeah I don't know what could be your R56's problem. Have you driven with the SB on lately? You should drive it around with it on so you can be sure that it isn't the cause of your codes.

 

Funny, I haven't drivin with the sport button on. The car is pretty fast without it but I will drive around today with it on to see what happens.

 

Congrats on the tune automan21, I believe you are one of the few who have tuned their car with the N18

Hope you got that check engine light all sorted out and it doesn't come back!

That is pretty crazy, I have the sprint booster for my CVT R50 and race mode(red light) takes some getting use to. Now to have the car tuned,
its an 'S', plus the sport button, and the sprint booster on top of that...thing must be nuts

Don't think I could take the SBv2 on my S.......but I have considered it???

 

My ECU went to NM yesterday and it's being shipped back overnight. Cannot wait to feel the difference!!

 

It is pretty crazy. I like it though. I'm keeping up with my friends modded Genesis. He definitely noticed he can't pull away from me anymore.

 

Let us know what you think. I like the tune a lot.

 

I visited NM today on my way back home from a meeting in Ventura. The guys there are so nice... They listed to the issues I was having and updated my files accordingly. Hurray... More driving will see if the update fixed the issue

 

What! You're talking about the 4cylinder one right?

Man I need my car tuned lol

 

Yeah, the 2.0 Turbo R-spec. He's putting down about 230-240 to the wheels.

 

Did they specify what it was, or what they were finding?

 

Now thats a sight to see

Have you had the car dynoed with the tune?
I know NM says what the whp/wft-lb will be, but I'd be curious to see if what
they claim is under or over rated....possibly even on the money??

 

I haven't yet. I'll probably wait for a dyno day through one of the forums i regularly post on. Last i dynoed at 170hp/200tq with all my mods minus the tune.

 

EAS has a dyno. Do it. I have a group of friends that need to dyno their cars, including my MINI.

 

Pretty good numbers with basic bolt ons....wonder what a DP would net you. Do you have a FMIC? Couldn't find it in your mod list.
I know a FMIC allows you to go stage 2 with NM.

 

Let me know if you guys get something going. I'll talk to my buddies at Road Race Engineering and see if they are willing to put another one on so soon. I think it was only a few months back that we did it.

I don't have an FMIC. After Lilasian got hers, she said she didn't feel any difference. However, she didn't have the updated (st II) tune till yesterday. At least, i think she did since she went to NM to look over her issues. Maybe she'll chime in.

Anyways, i'm a bit hesitant in going with fmic next. Or i was. I was going to do a BBK kit next, however, I just had a front and rear brake job done at mini under the 100k maintenance plan, so i might just wait a bit on the bbk kit. I really really want to get some PSS10's, but i'm not sure if my friends dad can still get them at cost for me.

 

An FMIC won't give power, but it helps maintain it when boosting often...or just in high heat areas...like the IE lately lol.

I noticed it working when I rev-match downshift for the first time it was install in 100 degree temps. With the stock intercooler, rev matching was tough because the throttle input was extremely sluggish due to all the heat(tach needle barely moved with a blip of the throttle). When I installed the Forge unit, I could feel the difference and see it with the scangauge. I run the NM intake and with 100 degree temps I'm seeing 103/104 intake temps.....yes this is with an open intake that everyone seems be hating on lol, I'm having no issues with it. I think an intercooler would be a great investment to keep the car happy in hot weather. Just my observations ::smile::

 

How are you measuring the intake temps? I would be interested in seeing what i'm actually getting with the AEM vs you with the NM and FMIC.

 

I am using the scangauge.

 

has anyone ever inquired about a dyno tune at NM? not sure if they even have a dyno up there, but since they seem to be one of the more responsive tuners, and people have had success with their tunes, i wonder if a dyno tune would be very far off. i'd pay a few extra bones for a dyno tune, if available.

 

I did just out of curiosity, they never got back to me.

 

They do have a chasis dyno in the ground.
