Ecu help

Hi guys, i have oneball mod, stealth CAI, 17% pulley and am wanting to go with ebay injectors. I was wondering if i can flash the stock jcw tune myself with winkfp or something? I had an e46 which i updated the automatic trans ecu with winkfp or ncs expert and am wondering since this is also a bmw if i could flash the ecu with the jcw fuel map?

Yes you can, but JCW is made for 11% supercharger pulley, anyway will need an ECU tune, and may be will need to do P0108 fault code off -overboost- due to reduced pulley.

Just F.Y.I., Adrian is a super nice guy but he tunes Minis for a living. I doubt free advice is forthcoming but I would recommend you work with him to get your car running properly. He's tuned quite a few Minis on this forum and I've never heard a discouraging word about his tunes. He tuned mine and I'm more than satisfied with the performance and the price.

Adrian (@adriancl on this forum) is in Romania. Tuned many here in North America and across Europe by virtually "driving" customer's laptops connected to their OBD2 ports remotely. You'll need to purchase a couple of adapter cables plus software he'll furnish installed to your laptop.
