oh my. woosah....

Butt dyno says I'm highly impressed with the tune and turbo combination. No CEL's or issues so far. I was suppose to dyno this past week, but got lazy. If dyno shop is open next weekend, then I'll get it done. Very happy, with this tune.

If I'm not gunning it everywhere I go, I can average 34mpg. But when I'm revving the crap outta the MINI, i average 21-22mpg. lol

I am very fortunate to know people that help me out in getting things painted/installed quickly so that affords me the time to get on a lift and not lose a lot of downtime. Other times if I know I have a huge install and it's going to span several days, I just push it all off until I'm done with the project and I can knock it all out.

I just choose not to post sometimes even though things have been done already. Later this year will be the bottom end and I'll be done. Overall though, the E45HP has been good and those that have been throwing CELs or whatever issues they may be having, I haven't had it, so crossing my fingers that it won't happen anytime soon.

I've always said my MINI was solid, so 68k miles later, still chugging along...

 

You know if you're getting 34 mpg on a stage 4 tune (amazing in itself ) you would think you could pass smog without the down pipe of course. When running a Battle/DNA Tune that blocks the CEL, does it prevent the CEL from registering in the ECU so it's not there when it's smog time? As I understand it the Delete-R prevents the CEL on your dash but records the CEL in the ECU which wouldn't be good when it's time to smog.

I can't wait to see your bottom end rebuild!

 

It merely suppresses the CEL associated with the aftermarket DP, so I would not pass smog, nor would I pass visual inspection, so the intake would have to be swapped out as well when the time comes.
