No new development to use with the JB4 & the BT tune. We recommend the removal of any piggyback device when using our tune. Even in the passive/logging mode, the piggyback still affects the signals from the MAP sensors.. just a FYI...

There are many apps that can data log for you if that is what you are going to use the JB4 for

actorlany 02-09-2018 10:40 AM

Which app with Bluetooth adapter provides the most accurate boost / Map reading?


my tune on my countryman s is only reading max 12lbs of boost using torque pro.


im going to run a test boost guage this weekend.


hopefully, those numbers are incorrect.

As you can see for some reason I'm not hitting anywhere near the correct boost numbers. I've contacted Mike W.. However, I'm interested in seeing what others think.
1. yes the tune went through successful and this was the second tune due to mini recoding my ecu. thoughts?

here is another log taken with OBD fusion


same results and also matches the mechanical boost guage I installed Saturday.

actorlany 02-12-2018 05:18 AM

Another log I took using a different app this time. OBD fusion


this also matches the mechanical boost gauge installed Saturday.


as you can see I'm only hitting max boost around 13lbs.


that's way off from the numbers the other NAM member posted.


again, I sent both of these to BT / Mike. W.


Just sharing them here for additional results.


I knew something was wonkey.

Looks like stock-level boost and AFR to me. You sure the reflash went down successfully?

Could you add throttle position on your logs as well? I freaked out looking at your timing advance but then realized it wasn’t a WOT run all the way to redline. A 2nd gear full throttle run all the way to redline would be much better log to evaluate.

actorlany 02-12-2018 05:41 AM

understood, however.


I pulled WOT to the floor is 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears and never came close to 18lbs of boost.

trentiles 02-12-2018 09:42 AM

Seems like a stock file.

The proper way to log is to do a full run in a single gear, 3rd would be the best, but puts you pretty far above speed limits so 2nd would be alright.

Put it in 3rd gear at low rpms, try to stay under 2k, then mash the pedal to the floor until you hit redline. It's important to start as low as possible in the rpm's and then go to redline so you get the full picture of what is going on.

Let the fun begin!

nqr31467 02-20-2018 06:23 AM

Enjoy the tune, it is a blast!

charrigan 02-20-2018 01:20 PM

I just purchased a CPO F55 MCS manual. How are all of the stage 1 manual clutches holding up?

I emailed bytetronik and they are willing to do a lower torque tune for me. I am just a little concerned long term how well the stock rods and clutch can handle the massive torque spike.

camptown 02-20-2018 07:05 PM

I have nearly 1,000 miles on my new tune from last week and I haven't stopped smiling since!! By far the best performance mod I have done to the car.

charrigan 02-20-2018 08:46 PM

How is everyones clutches holding Up?

Just fine. I have noticed any slipping at all.

jobea 02-22-2018 04:12 AM

I received my tuning file within 24hrs.

installation process was pretty straight forward with the help of installation manual.
Could have added a 2 or 3 steps that was missing but no major dramas.

I haven’t had a chance for a proper drive, but I could feel the differences already in terms of a drivability and power. Will be back for more feedback. At the moment is all positive!

SHE-YIT! This thing is fast! The tune is definitely worth the money. Feels like somebody snuck a small block chevy in the thing. Only had time to put about 10-15 miles on it, but I'm a happy camper. When I get on it hard for ways and then drive normally I think I can detect a hint of eau de clutch.
Thanks to Mike and the guys at BT for a great deal. And thanks to Vinnie for helping me navigate that damned windows computer. Last windows machine I had was a Gateway. I also agree with Vinnie and jobea about a couple steps being missing. Nothing major, since
I had the Vinnie assist.

Okee-doke. Once upon a time, when you had the NM plug in box, and enjoyed it, you logged many miles with the single input boost increaser, which is what the NM and Dinan Sport are all about.

For those of us who, for whatever twisted reasons, need to suffer and refuse to pop for the ECU tune... yet, can you offer some "compare and contrast" detail? How much faster with the tune? When do you first feel it coming on? Off the line what do you notice? What, overall, are the main differences between the sport tuning box mod and the full-on ECU tune?

Thanks. And glad you're enjoying your "new" hot rod.

Oh, and don't broadcast too much about your association with Mini Vinnie. Remember, the cops have warned him that they have their eyes on him and his hot little red ride. We don't have bail money for two of you:wink:

Oh, and MINI Vinnie, formerly of the Diana Sport Tuner Club, same questions for you, if you please. What are the specific differences you are noticing between the Dinan Sport and the full-on ECU tune?

Thanks.

Hmm. Compare and Contrast?
Well, since I'm an old fart let's harken back to yesteryear... say 1962 maybe.
F56 S = Impala with small block, a two barrel carb, and single line.
F56 S W/JCW Tune = same car with a 4 barrel and twin lines.
F56 S W/JCW Tune+NM = same car with 2 four barrels and twin lines.
F56 S W/BT Tune = same car with a big block 2 four barrels, twin lines, and a cam.

Vinnie lives in a different country. Land of ice and snow and such. Excuse me for a minute...... gotta turn my A/C back up. Getting a little too cool in here. I think you can relate. :grin:

Now you got me remembering my 1967 327/2bbl, first production run Camaro with the 2-speed slush-o-matic, vinyl roof, bias ply tires, hub caps, which my mother ordered new from the factory and, with about 40,000 miles on the clock, I sold in 1971 for $1,250 so I could buy myself a Toyota Corolla 1600 station wagon to take on a cross-country road trip. The Camaro was mint and 100% original. Don't want to think what it would be worth today if instead of selling it I had just put her up on blocks and forgotten about it for a few decades.:cry:

Yeah, another sunny day here on the left coast. I can relate. Do you think the jails have heat where Mini Vinnie lives?
