Jan developed the head and has tuned Longboard's Mini...However, I wouldn't call it loosely...

 

Wow!!! That came out of left field. Nice to know you are still here old buddy.

Don't be a hater just because he produced a head that works and his sales are cutting into yours.

The essence of my question was not hate and if you knew what we do you would realize sales are not an issue with me.
Do you care to respond to my question about tuning?

 

Not really, I hate fishing.

If you and your "friends" have an ax to grind with someone you should contact the person directly.

Longboard

 

Any news???

Ya gave'm beers before they were done - didn't ya!!

 

Only Chris took my offer

Slowly tracing down the leaks and I'm back up to 14.8psi (digital gauge) and HOLLY XCTREMENTS!!! She's really hauln @SS now... Just wait till I find the remaining 2psi...

And remember, I'm on stock ECU...can't wait to meet up with Jan at the DRagon...he heee heeee...

 

Getting my "HEAD" replace tomorrow morning...cant wait....

 

You'll love it . Maybe we can all head to the dyno together. I think Jan is waiting to get a date from Longboard so I can tag along.

 

if the head flows better than what you had, peak boost will drop...

Jan (Why everyone's so afraid of the wrath of NAM I don't know) is most definitely a tuner, and has so far produced better numbers than ANYONE who has ever designed a head for the MCS. Not once, not twice, but at least 5-6 times.

He's also completely trumped every "Rumor" that has surfaced on these forums reguarding big valves killing low end, not being able to break 200 whp without a new blower, not being able to break 180 torque on the stock software, etc.

He couldn't have picked a more appropriate name for his company, the stuff he's coming out with truely is revolutionary .

Why has there been so much Drama on NAM lately!

 

Yea, I lost some boost (1-2 PSI i'd say). I don't have a guage, but the whine is much more subtle after the head install.

 

so this awesome head cost 2,000$ and my core right?

 

*****-en Sid. So you should be around 17psi. What pulley are you running?

I really wish I could make the Dragon so we could all go have a beer together. I leave for Holland on business on the 6th. While I am gone the car will get a tune for the new header/exhaust and W/M injection. And yes, this is a full emulated dyno tune. I will be like a kid waiting for Xmas the week I'm gone.

The head itself is around $1800 I believe, the 2000 includes a new gasket, and a full ARP Headstud kit. All in all I spent about 2650 for the head, install, oil change, new coolant, and an engine damper install (30-40 bucks).

And yes, it's a core exchange.

The head itself has an upgraded valvetrain rated to about 10k RPM's. Jan can quote you the exact specs I don't know all the details.

 

I'm waiting for that Dyno Tune myself. I feel like a little kid going to Disneyland waiting for all this exciting stuff .

 

It's like you are living in a fog; 235+ WHP with the stock ecu (your definition) and supercharger have been available from us for about a year now. And I am really looking forward to seeing these cars "show their stuff" on the LDG Dynapack at MOTD.

 

I remember when 200 whp was the mark now it is 230 ..... congrats to all who have achieved it....

 

Yeah...wish you could be there too Brian...

I'm running 15+2...what psi should I really be looking for? My SC has just about lost all it's coating too so that combined with Matt's assertion that there would be some psi lost, am I in generally pretty good shape with 14.8psi (digital gauge +-0.1psi)?

 

Actually the number is now 250+whp. We've been over 230whp for the last year but it's taken a while to solve the fueling problems that we experience when we run these cars for extended periods on track. One dyno pull doesn't expose this like a weekend at VIR or the Glen. At my home track, Summit Point, after about four or five hard laps the afr's are lean and we're running out of fuel. This is no longer a problem for us as my new fuel system is finally ready for use. I'm doing one right now that I'll have at the dragon. I've got to tune this thing tomorrow and then I'll post the results and some pictures of the components and install.

 

Sid,

Any idea what Jan says it should be with your 15 +2 rig?

 

I'll ask him...

 

In my opinion, the fog is tightly centered around Warren, NJ, where dmh is located.

Congrats to the Jesus Head for elevating the MINI aftermarket scene.

 

Why does this have become another onesided pissing contest? I don't see anyone being negative to DMH...

 

We've seen the pretty picture and I'm still confused as well. Shouldn't lose significant boost because of a cracked inlet tube.
