So I was reading the latest issue of Eurotuner and it says that a software upgrade is available from ACS that makes 226hp for the R56 Cooper S. I looked at the ACS website but couldnt find any info.

Anybody here heard of this yet?

It sounds like a bold claim, and im sure itd be expensive.

 

Did it say if it was a flash?

 

They have a package for the R53 that puts that to 222HP range. Like you said though not anything for the R56.

 

Find attached AC Schnitzer R56 and R55 tuning details.

 

Thats interesting, I wonder if its a flash, and where can I get it? hmmm... 226hp @5500 rpm, sounds nice, I bet it would be a pretty solid tune too

 

51 hp gain at the crank?

This must be not just a flash...must include a "package" like exhaust, intake, tune or something.

BUT..........if its just a flash/tune...sign me up!

 

Remember to take into account the required fuel for that HP!

I'm pretty sure 98 RON is equivalent to about 93 Octane here in the US....

 

They actually have 98 octane in europe....... only 2 choices ether 95 or 98 and 2 types of diesel

 

Can get 99 here in the UK.

 

Again, that is not the same as 95 and 98 octane in the US.

It's their equivalent of our Premium (91 or 93 octane).

 

Right on.... I see where your coming from..... i looked up the differences between EU gas and US gas

 

Also remember canned tunes arent all that theyre worked up to be .
Would love to see some real results from this tune, considering no one's been capable of cracking the r56's ECU.

 

The ECU has been 'cracked' and there are companies out there doing DME flashes already. It may take some time for tuners to learn how best to use them but they are out there.

 

I can't wait for a better option than the unichip considering the huge number of cels.

 

I wouldnt call it cracked, correct me if I'm wrong. But i dont beleive anyone has gotten full control over it.

I wouldnt call it cracked, correct me if I'm wrong. But i dont beleive anyone has gotten full control over it. And a flash is nothing like full ecu control.
