Drivetrain Battle/DNA Tune Thread
#476
Exactly! I can keep carbon at bay also by driving it like I stole it too, so that's my plan lol.
#477
Doing some more testing today and was seeing motor temps between 182F-195F. The 195F was after several long 4th gear pulls, in a row.

I have my Stage4 but I've been waaaaay too busy to get to a dyno. I've had other problems to take care of and even though I've done a few things since my Stage4 tune, I just don't have that kind of time to hit the dyno. No time during the week to go when you're working 9 to 9 and weekends I'm with the wife because she definitely isn't getting the attention she deserves.
So needless to say, as much as I'm curious what power I'm putting down with Stage4, I really don't have anything new to report on my end because I just have different priorities when it comes to my tune. I'm just glad this motor hasn't blown up :D

I'm not sure, but I did meet someone this past weekend and he did have a Stage4 tune. Pretty damn good considering it was on a JCW too compared to just my S.
#485
Can't really say since I haven't dyno'd and he hasn't dyno'd either sadly.
I have a buddy of mine down in LA who has a JCW and he'll be getting a new K03 hybrid soon, so I'm trying to convince him to get a Stage4, I'm sure I can compare after we dyno together or something. But we'll see. I haven't had a day off, besides holidays (which aren't days off anyways), so I've been on a grind for a loooong time now...

Sorry to snipe the thread, but seeing as how Ian no longer a BT customer, I absolutely will miss the top rate support and top quality products. If you are on the fence about a tune look no further than BattleTuning. On that note, if you do decide to purchase a tune, I have a PowerGate III OBD tuner (used for BattleTuning) that is significantly cheaper than new and can be used to tune your car. Motor on guys and trust me this is an A++ company.

I owe u the dyno sheet since they only gave me the data file and I have no way to open it. But, as soon as I go agian, which will be pretty soon due to some new parts coming in, I will get that to you guys. Im pretty pumped in the way the mini is performing...absolutely LOVE my 4th gear. It just pulls and keeps going and going and going and going hahaha
#492
Has anyone data logged or watched their timing during high boost ? Mine just sits around 0 or sometimes creaps to 1 or 2 ??
also my AFR is 10.2 .
I was going back and fourth with John today to see if he could make a change to my tune to correct this and I guess his day ended at work cause the emails stopped. He had mentioned doing a log file using the powergate and my last email to him was what kind of pulls did he want ( cruse,1-4 gear or just a 4th gear pull) but the emails stopped. Has anyone sent him log files before and could tell me what pulls to log so he will have them in the morning ?

I'm getting a variation from 6.75 to 9.75 in 2nd on an AP datalog. It's dated Apr 2013, but still using the same map (custom, not a stage #).
My 1st gear pull was too short to get any meaningful data but it looks similar, and this log didn't have any more pulls --- can't remember why I was collecting the data.
I can't figure out how to send attachments via NAM email or PM, so if you want to review the datalog, PM me your email --- I know how to send it that way.

Well on 7/15 I had to send my powergate controller back across the pond due to my dealer upgrading my ECU for headlight retro upgrade. My DNA would not recognize the new ecu number ......
Well after 6 weeks are so I was told that Italy shuts down for the summer and no shipping was done. I guess ups and FedEx just stack boxes in the corner till the summer is over ??
So 3 months later and still no powergate controller and no tune.
THANK YOU MANIC ,I have been enjoying my manic 2+ for awhile now , I went with manic mostly cause they offer a true 3+ for aftermarket bigger turbos, seams like the only aftermarket bigger turbo they have done is rafrantic and with no updates on dyno or butt performance ( plenty of wheels, body parts,clear bra updates) it leaves me to believe there is not option in this field.
The forum has died, no one logging files, no updates , lame customer support
.....
HEY DNA , KEEP YOUR FU@cking powergate

Oh I got updated tunes, I sent log files and got an email back the next day.....
I'm complaining about the fact it's been 3 months with no returned powrgate, I would still have a stock tune if I hadn't shelled out more money for another tune from another company ....
Would you be happy if you had to ride stock tune for 3 months after you paid for a DNA tune ????

This is actually true. Had a stop over in Rome while on holiday and in summer they just leave you see cars parked on the sides of the road covered in dust with flats tyres
Haven't been on this site for a while does anyone know how Sprintcars is going with his tuning after him build? He's using MANIC as well.

Did you ever check with Battle Tuning to see if they've had issues with getting in touch with DNA themselves, since being their only USA distributor you'd figure they'd have a lot of contact with the operations overseas.
I get it's frustrating, but I don't appreciate someone bashing someone else or a company all because there isn't enough patience in the world today or things aren't happening on your schedule. Is three weeks long? Yes. Did you happen to catch them at a bad time? Also yes. It's not DNA's fault that they have a different culture of summer compared to us.
