Battle Tuning ~ N18 Tune?

Our Powergate3 OBDII device has not yet been unlocked for the N18, but we have been considering bringing bench tuning to the N18 platform.

Are N18 users looking for bench tuning? We will continue to support your MINI just as we have with our N12/N14/N16 folks but it's obvious you would have to send your ECU to our CA location for tuning.

We realize there are not many options available for the N18 platform, but we'd be giving customers custom tuning unlike what others can offer via canned or piggyback.

Interest? Thoughts?

Haha! Yes I do! But the more tuning solutions the better. I'm just curious what the price would be. NM-Engineering being $500, Manic Motorsport being $500. Hopefully Battle Tuning will be in a similar price range.

just sold my evolve decat dp today. that's me pretty much throwing in the towel on doing any (more) work to my mini. =/ but i'm still interested in seeing how your tune turns out.

btw, shouldn't you be on the road already?

I am to the point now where I need a tune for 97 octane fuel on my JCW. I am running 97 octane now with my jb+ and the car is a beast. Not sure if you guys are able to create a tune that can utilize the potential of that octane level? I would actually prefer to have the 97 octane tune activated with the sport button and then just a 91 octane tune with sport mode off. Is that possible?

How much would the tune be? And what numbers could we see for a MCS? I have some bolt on's that would be put to good use for a custom tune.

Even with the new options the N18 has now for tunes, I'm still going to wait for the Battle/DNA tune with the powergate... I just hope we don't have to wait forever!
