Agree. Look at before and after delta. The car is a monster!!
Always tune instead of piggybacking.

 

New Motor, New Tuner!

Evolve Tune on Fully Stock Car (Apart from muffler delete).
**These figures are with California 91 Octane Fuel on a DynoJet"
Stock Run: 203whp 215wtq
Evolve Run: 249whp 366wtq

Gained 46whp 151wtq

Insane gains in torque! Same dyno day and everything, just map switched in between the runs with my laptop. Torque was 351 then 355 then 366 (which was the best run).

 

 

John- insane numbers!! Congrats. I thought your results must be a fluke and looked up Evolve... looks like about what they've been getting with other cars. Amazing. Lots of questions... biggest one- how much boost? And any idea how they are making so much more power than anyone else? And could that possibly be safe? Hah.

 

John I'm new to the party. New motor? Something happen to your old one?

Best,
Gene

 

^Yea, I'd like to know too. And why switched to Evolve? Do they have a long track record with BMW engines or something? I saw their M5 destroy a bunch of cars in the half mile race on youtube. What are the levels of boost their tune is pushing? Is it safe is the ultimate question I guess?

Got quite a few requests from customers who are interested in a "JCW-like" tune... so here is a comparison of the power levels between 3 maps:

1. Solid line = Factory JCW Tune
2. Second dotted line = Bytetronik's JCW+ tune
3. Third line (scatter line) = Bytronik Stage-1 Flash

2015 Factory JCW tested in MD AWD Dyno in all-wheel drive mode; NGK one-step colder plugs; AFe drop-in filter; 93 Octane Shell V-power. Keep in mind, this is a low-reading Mustang Heart-breaker dyno

Stock JCW: 180 WHP ; 201 WTQ
JCW+ Map: 213 WHP ; 235 WTQ
BT Stage-1: 235 WHP (284 BHP); 289 WTQ (350 ETQ = Engine Torque)

(Gains over stock: +55WHP | +88WTQ)

Custom dyno tuned this vehicle; the car came in with all the parts already installed so the 'baseline pull' was already 25WHP above a stock JCW.

1. Solid line = Factory JCW Tune (with Forged IC & Milltek Sports CAT)
2. Dotted line = Bytetronik's dyno tune (with Forged IC & Milltek Sport CAT)

2014-S Manual with Airtec, Catless DP and Exhaust + Bytetronik Stage-2 Tune

 

- F56 Cooper S 2015
- Milltek De-cat Downpipe, Forge Motorsport Intercooler, NGK Iridium Spark Plugs (Heat Range Rating 8), GruppeM Carbon Intake & JCW Tuning Kit incl. JCW Pro Exhaust.
- Dyno used was a Dynomet Inerti (comparable in readings to Dynolog, 8-10% lower than Dynojet, not as "bad" as mustang dyno)
- 4th gear was used
- Best stock reading was 228bhp and 325Nm (239 ft lb) with upgrades before tuning, I don't know what it made before the upgrades, Mini claim 210bhp with the JCW Tuning Kit.
- Result 301bhp and 415Nm (306 ft lb)

I have ordered Helix Clutch and Single Mass Flywheel to get the last few pounds of boost out of the turbo, OEM clutch won't handle more than this.
I will update the post once it has been back on the dyno with the new clutch and flywheel.

 

Nice flat torque curve! What tune is that?

Any idea of boost levels, at peak, or near redline? Looks like it's staying up there!

 

Thanks!
It's a dyno tune, not a plug-n-play tune.

I actually don't know the boost level, I will try to find out and update you.

 

Nice! How does the clutch feel at the moment with all of that torque going to it now? What gap do you have going on your plugs?

 

Thanks!
Clutch is OK for now. Haven't experienced any problems so far, but I've only driven about 500 miles on the setup so far.
But in order to be able to use the last amount of HP/TQ I need a better/stronger clutch, I've ordered the Helix Clutch and Single Mass Flywheel, Helix clutch is rated to 368 lb ft.
I think we might be able to get 20-30 more HP and 35-40 more lb ft once clutch has been replaced.

Spark plugs. Tbf, I haven't done anything besides change the stock plugs for NGK High Performance Spark Plugs which has a heat range rating of 8.

 

Ah, thanks! That's good to know it's been working well so far. Your current numbers is where I'd be happy to be at. But tbh, knowing me, once I get to that point, I'm going to want more LOL. I'll deal with that when I get to that point haha.

Ah, I bought colder plugs too but wasn't sure if I should keep them at their pre-set gap (0.30) or change. Just sitting there waiting for me to install.

 

My clutch is slipping a bit, I think. At around 3k RPM when it hits around 20 psi, even in 3rd gear. 2014 S, RPM stage 1, Wagner IC, JWC Pro exhaust. A big difference was the Wagner, hadn't noticed the slip before that went in. Interested in a tune that keeps boost a bit lower at lower RPMs, but stays level or even increases as revs build. I miss VTEC, what can I say...

 

I haven't felt any slipping of the clutch yet, but I will admit that I haven't pushed it in 5th & 6th gear at "low" highway speeds, I don't feel like torturing my car just to feel the clutch slipping.

Although, I am looking forward to bumping up the boost a bit once the new clutch has been installed.
