Drivetrain Questions about ECU and performance Mods
#26
So I guess I stand by my original statement:
As of yet there are no ECU mods available for the R56.
strange way of making your business grow. I had never heard of the "alienate your customer" approach before.

I'm not taking any pleasure in any of this. I'm not trying to entertain anyone either. Nor am I asking anybody to part with anything. Dyno numbers just create trouble for many NAMers as their “Testing and Measurement” skills seem lacking. I posted dyno results for the R56 from Rototest -- it got ridiculed. I doubt anybody in America has seen more Mini Cooper dyno results than me and within specific years results vary about +/-3%. And if you don’t understand that, have your favorite dyno checked. If you actually want further information such as dyno numbers, just give me a call. If you want to "carry-on" then this thread would be more appropriate.

I know nothing about DMH Motorsports, but it looks like you all have your answers. This is a vendor-sponsored site. You will either get a warning from the mods for pressing a vendor for data, or you will be set upon by a horde of vendor groupies who will flog you for even asking for data. Time to give up.

Here we go again!!!!
What really baffles me is that I know most of the people that argue here on
NAM and they are all really good people!
FWIW, Don doesn't have to post sh**t about his products if he doesn't want to, and if you are really, really an interested person, I'd suggest a phone call, not just to Don, but to any vendor you want details from. You'll get much more accurate answers without the vendor worrying that all the secrets are in the public domain for all to see.
On the dyno stuff, it's just a guide for the eye. There's so much that goes into amiture dyno data that it's close to useless for a lot of comparisons. With proper work a dyno is a great tool, but a lot of "dyno days" seem to me to be a bit more than a curisity that much else. Without at least IATs and coolant temp you can't trust the numbers for squat.
So let me save everyone some time.
There will be those that demand the details and won't get them.
The vendors will say "proprietary".
Someone will say it's all snake oil.
Someone will buy eventuall and post impressions.
Someone else will ask for dyno numbers.....
And on and on and on.
Ryan and Don, you are both good guys! Ryan, can't you see that Don doesn't want to give it all away? Don, it seems that some in your marketspace would like a bit more meat on the marketing bones! Is there a middle ground here? Probably not if its just a debate on NAM. Probably yes if people just phone up and talk out of the public eye.
just my thoughts..... FWIW

As I wrote the other day, all it takes is a phone call. [And if you want dyno numbers that are accurate and repeatable you need to be on a dyno that can be calibrated. And that means a hydraulic unit-- Dynapack or Rototest for example. Operators have no ability to calibrate an inertia style or eddy-current.]

I would call, but I don't want to waste anyone's time as I don't even have an r56. I am extremely curious about how much potential there is from an ECU remap on the r56. I keep reading that the real potential of the engine wont be seen until the ecu code is cracked. If dmh has done it, then what is the potential of the remap? is it 20 to 30 hp, 40 to 50 hp? more? less? I hope someone gets it done soon so that we can get feedback from customers.
Is the remap $950 because dmh is the only solution at the moment (expensive because of all of the research involved), or is it because there is a large jump in hp to justify this high price. I say this because compared to the ecu remap that dmh offered for the r53, it is double the price.
