Revolution Motor Works Standalone ECU
Hi,
Is there any update for this ECU https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...is-coming.html maybe a release date. |
Those guys come and go If your looking for a stand alone check out scs delta but not really worth it To be honest with ya some of the fastest mini’s in north American / Canada are runing stock ecu with a good remap |
Thanks for the reply.
Are you using SCS Delta ECU? Currently the engine is getting a rebuild. Previously the tuner couldn't access the ECU to tune the car which already has a Manic Motorsport Stage 2 tune. With another and future Manic Motorsport tunes the cost will be too much. So now I'm looking for a standalone/piggyback ECU to enable full access tuning of the new build without disabling other car functions. I have emailed SCS Delta for more info. |
rmw does not come and go, he's been around many years

I've contacted SCS directly "Thanks for the email and interest in our management systems. Yes our management system will work with the JCW - we have the correct scaling for the MAP sensor (3.0bar vs 2.5bar) and a base calibration for an engine. The ECU is fully unlocked and every aspect of the tuning can be modified." |

Definitely not wrong they have been around for many years But like I said they come and go especially n14 / n18 stuff There was a post on one of the Facebook pages a few years back Entitled where is Janne and if I remember correctly They just called it a loss on there standalone anyways They were trying to use links & the Fuel pumps pretty much was non-compatible Check out RMW forums if they are still up But before warned it was pretty much all just trolls anyways and if you don’t have a 53 they don’t want you on their |
Are you running SCS Delta on one of your minis?

Making a single standalone for the second gen Minis would be very difficult just knowing that there are 3 different engine revisions across 6 years that require 3 different ECUs. There's the N14 and the two versions of the N18. I don't know how different the N14 and first version of the N18 are but I know it's enough they they did have different ECUs. And the drivers in the ECU for the HPFP are different between the first and second version of the N18, meaning the actual components on the boards are different. Haltech was working on it but they basically said they couldn't do it, as I imagine the development costs were way too high for a niche market car.
Plus, as BigBoost said, RMW seems to only want to put big time and effort into the R53 platform. Last I knew he still doesn't tune N18s at all because the encryption is tough to crack, and the N14 tuning is few and far between because he only dyno tunes them. He put out a tune for the F series Minis but that's because they're easy to get into the coding. |
super confused? got an email saying knt posted but i cant see the post that was in the email try to re-post |
I think when I posted the post had to be checked over or something and now it's posted above.

Ahh..i got ya' Not sure what you are trying to get at but a flash tune will be a lot cheaper then a standalone not sure if you are new to the mini word but the mini word really does have a lack of quality parts/company's out there as of right now i believe theirs only one company out there that is making / selling a standalone "SCS-delta" witch those guys are supplying the ECM for the mini challenge car's The only functions i lost with the SCS was cruise control do to lunch control / 2 step it's a solid product little over kill but solid |
Thanks BigBoost.
So other standard car functions will still all work i.e. alarm, climate control, central locking etc... apart from cruise control? I think I might have to go with SCS Delta as the original ECU with Manic Motorsport stage 2 map is no good with a hybrid turbo and forged engine rebuild, as the rebuilder and tuner can't access the ECU for the remap. I've heard with a standalone ECU the tuner has full control and is not limited to working within the parameters of the original ECU. Thank you again. |

I gotta admit that my mini is broken again, but I can assure you that the problems have all been of my doing, not the tune. I'd be very suspicious of claims that Manic's tune caused an engine to blow up --- there are just as many, if not more, claims of un-tuned engines with the same failures. No tune will compensate for shoddy workmanship or bad parts. All this being said, I'm still gonna follow SCS Delta's progress. Combined with an upgraded HPFP and injectors (when available), it might be a great add-on. |
Thanks oldbrokenwind.
It's not the Manic Motorsport tune itself, it's the costs of the remaps with changing mods e.g. £720 stage 3 and stage 4 not even listed. So hope to go with standalone ECU and not only be tied up with Manic tunes. Hope you get your mini all sorted soon. |
oh snap your over sea' get a hold of the Mandingo's over at lohen the scs delta starts about £1,650.00 £1,650.00 £720 am i missing something :confused: if your trying to get away from manic i really cant blame you not a big fan of them but there are other company's out there Manic is back selling stage 3 ?? for a while they where no longer offering it to the us market just double check there webpage it says they are offering 3 map's so they must be back |
Unless you have your own tuning capabilities, there will be other tunes required for added mods. Or does SCS provide unlimited tunes?
I haven't checked the Manic website, other than to see it changed from a year ago. The way I heard it from my tuner was he's only doing custom tunes --- datalog then new program, probably back and forth a couple times 'til it's good on a dyno and the road. This for stages 3 & 4. I would expect stages 1 & 2 to be pretty much canned. I should be getting the head back in a few days, then re-assembly starts. I'll post it in NAM's new "Build" section. |
Just like any other standalone they give you a base map just to get you running then the tuning is up to you give ya a little look of the program https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...1fc43cb83.jpeg |

With Manic maps we're probably paying too much anyways, as Manic takes a cut and the tuning shop takes a cut. |

Do you know if other tuning software is compatible with the SCS Delta ECU? Is the software similar to the Link tuning software? |
Just took a look at the SCS web site. From what you say above, and the site info, we get a base map (250-320BHP?) and a replacement ECU, not an additional unit to plug in alongside our OEM ECU. In my case, I also need a Windows PC or laptop --- their SW isn't compatible with a Mac. I also don't have a JCW MAF or MAP (forgot which). Then I gotta learn how to program the various features available on their unit --- that or find someone local. Unfortunately, I don't know squat about timing, fuel mixing, etc. and I'm getting too old to want to learn, so it'll be a job for a tuner. No way I'm gonna do trial and error!
My current tune should be good for another year or so, before my next upgrade. I'll sit tight and wait for others to get experience with SCS. Gotta admit tho, it looks promising. Maybe someone will use an SCS unit to break into the 400WHP domain. |
400/450 there a few people doing it already with a big turbo's running stock ECM Lohen last dyno day had one pretty positive it was a n14 as well there a few down sides to the scs program living tune is a pain in the ass an it freeze alot like alot all the time an yes will need a windows laptop |

Hi,
Just got a message from RMW "yes, it's ready for sale the E85 will be ready shortly currently it's only for N14s" looks promising. Anyone knows any more? Thanks |
honestly I don’t think much of anybody’s heard anything I just popped over to their Facebook Last time they posted was October 30 The last time they posted anything About a standalone was june 28 just check out the forums an i was the last person to post in the r56 tuning section asking for lunch control that was 12-18-2017 the only response I got was yes just a few mouths out honestly I would not be holding my breath But who knows would be cool if they did come out with something We need more performance oriented stuff For the R-chassis https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...23a8a31c10.png |
