I can tell where you're going with all this...you're on a mission to disprove and discredit anything the Jesus head offers...it's written all over your forehead...[/quote]


He has been at it for awhile. It just took him longer to show he was like the others.

Longboard

I must admit I do resent that statement, all I'm intrested is in horsepower and making more, thats why I ask q's because I like to learn something new everyday.

Looks like I might as well go and do the gardening instead, at least I'll see some results.

I would of thought you lot would of figured out by now that I like facts and fiqures, it wouldn't taken a genius to work out that I asked the question while looking through all 54 pages of this thread so I must of seen the above

Sorry I see where you are coming from now, I know that and was asking the following but didn't explain it very well

What I meant to ask is;

You dyno'd the car pre Jesus head but had a boost leak,
did you find the boost leak?

What was it??

How did you get on with the boost leak fixed on the dyno??

Now you've got the Jesus head on, have you been to the dyno and laid down some numbers.

I never did find out the source of the boost leak on the dyno hence, the 196whp was pretty impressive for 12.5lbs

Still tracing all the leaks but have managed to get up to 14.5 and working...

I argued with myself against investing in the RMW head. In the end, could not resist the urge for instant gratification. Call me weak. Anyway, Jan offered to drive the car up to the shop and return it, same day, and it was just too much to resist. If I didn't jump at the opportunity, someone else would, so it was decision time.

Jan reported that the car has been running way too rich, by looks of the carbon buildup on pistons and in head. He's working on a tune which will benefit a car with typical mods and his head, so I'm now anxious for that.

It has MTH, but when it was programmed, I asked that timing not be advanced (CA gas here) and to just lean out the map a little. Mostly I wanted the quick drop off in revs when off throttle (fixing the rpm hang up which comes stock with the car) and reduced DSC intrusion. I did get those with the MTH, and that has made driving and shifting the car much more pleasant than prior to MTH. Now I know that ECU must be retuned to take advantage of improved breathability and lean it out a little.

From my experience, Jan is first class all the way

Car is much faster. I have no figures though. I am pleased with the decision.

Woah!

Eric is tuning the MINI ecu for the RMW head?

Kewl.

I thought he was only doing the GIAC flash.

What program is he using for his tuning?

Welcome to the club. So much more fun to drive now..ehh I get a huge smile every time I drive the Mini ever since I had the head installed. I too an looking forward to the tune that's being worked on that will allow my Mini to live up to it's full pontential. Glad to hear you great experience working with Jan. I just gotta say, he's one of the most stand up and do it right kinda guys I've ever met.

That would be so cool but we've got a busy calander racing / shows over the next couple of months, I'm not sure if I'm going to see the good old USA at all in 2007

We might be racing in Canada in 2008 as well for the World Street Race II.

I do want to see more of America as usually I fly in for a race then fly out again.

We (the family) might do a summer tour in 2008.

The second system like mine was finished yesterday. RMW buys the new Magnaflow CB system then modifies them to work with the new header.

The front resonator is removed from the front of the car and then re-installed at the rear just before the merged Y. This makes room for the new High Flow cat and stainless flex joint. The connection between the cat and the header is made via a V-band connection rather then the flange and bolt type. Much better!

The new Magnaflow system is bigger in DIA then most. 2 1/2" down the center splitting into two 2 1/4" all the way to the tips.



Longboard
Is this going to be the normal exhaust that is paired with their header or is RMW building them to order? I kind of like having dual tips, unless it's going to be one-sided and not centered, similar to the MC. Also, how loud is it compared to the other systems?
