Jan from RMW will be in Rochester for a tune session again after the Koni Challenge 6/5/09 at Watkins Glen. He will be doing cars starting at 8:30 AM.
We will be setting times slots up for roughly every hour and a quarter.
Please email me with your interest and times you'd like. I will set times up later.

Would 8:30 AM be OK for the tune?
Thanks

 

add Adam from Canada for 1pm
he is driving down and will install injectors before going on the dyno

there may be a few more Canadians coming with him. I will let you know

 

12:15 OR 1:30PM

1:30

 

8:30am... yes that would be perfect for me

dwp2659

Adam from Canada 1:30
Thanks Adam & Jan

 

Patrick from Philly
Saturday 9:45 per Jan
Thanks

 

I'll be at the Glen for the DP race so I won't be able to make this one. R56 owners.... here's the opportunity to get the tune you've been waiting for.

 

Have fun at the race. Wish I could be there, but I have to help out at Ekstens. Did you signup yet for Blue Grass in July?

 

MrB
Contact Jan - if your using a credit card I believe he likes them before he gets there.

 

MrB
Saturday 11:00

Larry - I dropped you a PM

Thanks.

Any special things needed for the R56 guys to check before they come in?

 

Would love to see any dyno results from the R56 tunes and the numbers for the R53s.

Should be a busy day for you folks.

 

+1 also wondering if the new VVT map is being installed?

 

here is mine - R56 - only mod is a Stratmosphere exhaust

dwp, at what stage of runs in this dyno graph. Is it the final run after tuning? Also, is the dyno a rolling wheel dyno or a dyno clamping to the wheel studs?

Interesting numbers. Thanks for posting.

Don

 

So, if I'm reading correctly, about 20 hp and 25 lb ft of tq

Incredible!! I'll bet it drives SOOO much better!!

 

it was a rolling wheel dyno

the charts are what i started with and what i ended up with

way fun to drive!

 

Land and Sea dyno. Roller
The other R56 didn't show. Rest of the day was spent on R53's.

 

+20 +25 is great.

Thanks for the info. on the dyno, I'm building a mental picture of what dynos report high and which ones report low.

But if the gains seen are like the above, it does not matter what numbers get reported, it is the actual spread that counts.

 

obviously i only have one mod so far and i did that because now the car sounds like it should (to me that is)

feel free to correct me but i'm thinking for the money no bolt-on mod would even come close to those gains - for me it was money well spent

next up would be a larger intercooler (jan's recommendation) and if i can find one, a jcw stage 1 intake (non-factory)

Check Helix out for your intercooler.

Thanks for coming over.
