kaelaria that's intersting so what ECU mod seems to be the most popular?

 

Oh yeah! Like I said before:

- 15% pulley
- CAI
- exhaust
- GOOD driver

 

Hahahaha I can buy the top 3s
but shoot...
the last one is not for sale right??:impatient :impatient

 

I'm not sure why either of you guys think my name is "Randy".

Anyway, nope BiM-COM is still in development. I do not have a date when it will be available because there is no date. It will be available when development is complete.

My chip (MTH at the time) let me exceed the factory 6950 rpm rev limit.

 

And that list is? I am curious.... Time to start the wish list...

But seriously, is there a list of junk to pile on the car (speaking about an '05) that will get someone into the sub 6.0 second range?

 

well, actually it is. Just find a good driving school.

 

And like *I* said before - make even comparisons. THat list is not true for an '04, which we are talking about.

 

I use MTH.

 

OMG Sorry! For some reason when I glance at your name, you little avatar there looks like a Stylized R to me...my brain read Randy!

 

Intake, pulley, ECU, Wheels/Tires.

 

....most people aren't running the GIAC chip yet - it's a great piece of software engineering - Andy - as you, I used to own a '97 GTi VR6, a 2001 1.8t GTi and also a 2001 Audi S4 Avant - can you shed any light on the MTH vs. GIAC chip? Both my GTi and my S4 were garretized. :-)

 

I haven't gone to the dragstrip since I put on my smaller tires (or my GIAC/19%/380cc for that matter). As long as my mad skillz haven't deteriorated, I should improve.

 

yes, ***************YOU***************** are right.

 

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

 

I'm sure I'm well in the 5 second range.....when I get a good hook-up.

 

I'm sure you could get into 5sec range on a stock engine if you remove enough weight from the car.. start by taking the doors off.

 

No problem, Major obnoxious

 

How do you know I'm not Captain Obvious?

 

We must be related somewhere down the genetic line. My wife calls me Sargent Butthead.

 

does it really matter?

 

We managed 5.9 a couple years ago. You can read the article here:

cheers,

And just to surmise - that took $5000+ in mods:

Intake
Pulley
ECU
Ignition wires
Intercooler
Racing cat
Exhaust
Ported head
Light weight flywheel
LSD
Light weight wheels/sticky tires

...and I'm sure the suspension upgrades helped with take off too.

 

What else to do on a Saturday night right???
My fiance and I went out and tested Zeus to see what he could do...very impressed!

2006 JCW Mini
NO mods
Michelin X-Ice winter tires
2 people in the car

G-Tech used for all info.

Conditions: -18 degrees C

0-60 mph times
Run 1 6.01 seconds-let out clutch at 3000 rpm, lots of wheelspin, had to lift before getting back on the throttle.
Run 2 5.98 seconds-got rolling before putting the hammer down, still some wheelspin but lost time when engine bounced off rev limiter.
Run 3 5.72 seconds-got rolling before giving full gas, some wheelspin and shifted as tach crossed 6500 rpm.

Ok, this should put to rest any arguement that the JCW package isn't much better than a stock MCS

 

those are some strong numbers

 

I know!!!

We are still in shock but it is the god's honest truth!

The best time my BF had in his 911 was 5.5sec with sticky tires....

I am pumped to auto-x in ...oh...another 6 months when the snow goes away. There is a particular female Sti driver that needs a lickin!
