Drivetrain Evolve Automotive | Mini F56 ECU Tune
#27
HP or TQ
By mechanical design, the factory automatic transmission can only hold so much torque. We prefer to remain on the reliable side of the spectrum and not push the limit to far to avoid premature mechanical failure.
This car specifically was otherwise stock!
We remote tune cars on the dyno throughout the whole world. If you are able to send us datalogs, then fine tuning is certainly an option!
Thank you for clarifying!
This is Alex from Evolve Automotive USA chiming in.
The stock intercooler on the R56 and F56 is no doubt a limiting factor in terms of consistent power delivery. We are amidst development of an intercooler upgrade that makes a HUGE difference in power delivery, temperature consistency, and cooling efficiency.

More boost = more power & also more heat
Cooler pressurized F/A mixture = more power
Better I/C = cooler F/A mixture
I saw an Australian car show on TV where they hooked up the windshield washer to misting jets mounted in front of the I/C. The fine spray of water mist on the I/C coils at speed and under boost reduced IAT dramatically. This resulted in increased power.
I'm thinking of using a spray bottle and spraying water mist on the I/C core when I dyno my car at the Dragon. That's the one weak point in dyno testing. No air being force into ducting of true CAI and very little air flow across the I/C core. Neither is conducive to making More Powah!

The bluetooth doesn't activate the tune, it opens a valve in your exhaust to bypass the muffler. If you do an ECU flash, it will overwrite the JCW tune. If you do a plug in box, (Dinan, JB, NM, etc) it will not.
