They are still testing Stage 4. Not available yet.
You can get Stage 1-3 at the moment.

 

Is anyone concerned about how much power/torque the engine internals can handle?

 

I asked Nick about that a while back. He said every thing is fine except when you run the race map. That's when the stock clutch starts to show its weaknesses because of the massive amount of torque that map gives you.

 

Personally going to wait to see the results with no disrespect and hats off to the guy with lots of tuning expertise willing to pay for what I view as Bata testing.

 

Yup. $300 for a tune is a steal for me.
$200-250 discount to tune while he is there is worth my drive from Nor Cal.
What do we get like 40 mpg highway? Haha
But when he's gone it goes back up to $500 stage 1 and $550 stage 2.

 

Anyone coming down May 1st?

 

Actually mine is the turbo, but it is detuned and also not available in North America.

 

What about the automatic? What is the max torque rating of that?

 

I'm currently living in China. MINIs are friggin expensive here - a Cooper S ALL4 would've cost $15k US more than mine with the crippled N18! This is why I'm so interested in getting a tune.

 

Correct - would you happen to know anything about this? There is next to no info online.

 

Nope, your the first I've heard of it. I wonder why they do this? A tune is definitely needed.

 

Not sure the max torque rating but the autos don't get quite the same torque as the manuals because you can't load it up at a lower rpm. But Nick says they have many many autos and a lot of their customers have autos and it has never been an issue. I believe their tuned JCW is also an Auto. Nothing to worry about.

 

The auto gearbox takes what it wants in power. It won't allow an extreme amount of torque but will tell the ECU to hold back until it gets a happy torque level.

 

i plan on being there thu - maybe not right at 11am, but at some point. prob won't be bringing the mini tho. you drive one with a JB+ everyday, so it wouldn't be anything new to you, unless you wanna drive an a/t. =)

 

Can't wait to hear people's impressions of the Manic tune tomorrow! I'm excited to get tuned on Saturday!!!

 

Yes! Really looking for a play by play. Counting on you john. :0)

 

2 cars getting tuned today at the moment. If anyone wants to drop by and get tuned call EuroCode. Nick might take a few more!

 

Yours included, i thought? Details? photos, video... whatever it takes

 

Anyone that doing the tune at this time can live update ...

 

Nick is surprised how shitty our fuel really is in the US. Haha

 

Pretty damn busy here. Gonna be a while. Trying to find a dyno but everyone is booked.

 

 

Eurocode doesn't have a dyno?

 

I thought you had an appointment.
