What are everyone's thoughts on the JMTC tunes for R53 Mini??? Also in my area is Vivid Racing that sells their VR Tune.
Not wanting to go with Bytetronik or RMW having both dealers in my backyard here in AZ.

Just curious how these tunes hold up??
- Both shops claim having 20 years Dyno experience and claim their work is first class and "you won't be dissatisfied".

What are your experiences with JMTC or VR Tune?

 

Unless you know something they don't...all of their (both companies) web site info is dealing with the turbocharged engine.

Yes. very strange but Outmotoring sells a jmtc R53 kit (non turbo). I will need to confirm.

 

I called Vuvid Racing and they siad they Tune evertyhing from Mini's to Maclarens'...

They told me to take a look at their Facebook page. Looks very legit. Just I have no experience with them.

Also, the JMTC tune is sold by Outmotoring...

 

It appears there are some potential problems with either above tunes..
Note:
Both firms sell their tune for about $600
Issues I see:
1. JMTC have no shop (are a faux storefront) that mail order you a cable. If you ask them to install their tune for you...they send you to a third party to install their so-called "software". There is no data logging service either.
2. VR Tune (after speaking to them) advised me you get no Dyno; at least the excuse was provided that "their dyno is always consumed with company projects" hence it is basically impossible to get your car on their dyno.

All the sketchiness provides me the gut feel I need to go with alternatives like ByeTronik. I know that they have a RM (remote mapping) service I'd be interested in...

 

If you're considering remote tuning, I'd go with RMW. Jan knows his isht when it comes to R53s (both hardware & software/tuning). I know you expressed some reservations about RMW in your first post, but if you can't get something done in person & are thinking of remote tuning, why not go with the best?

 

the others are probably only generic tunes anyway, ByteTroniK is tailored.
