I am ready to get me Mini tuned. I want to go with the ECU remap and I am trying to decide who to go with. Right now I am leaning towards Dervtech, because I have heard several good reviews about them. Who else would you recommend? I found a site called Modded Mini. They advertise they are the tuning sponsor for the TC America JCW race car. Does anyone have any experience with them?

 

Reach out to @Lou@Prototype-R He is a wizard, and can even help lay out a modification path

 

Mario Palza aka @MarioKart won’t steer you wrong! He’s tuned hundreds if not thousands of MINIs and there’s an entire feedback thread dedicated to his work here. He tuned my F57 about 6 years ago and I’ve loved every mile since!

Where ya live ? Look around. Renn Haus of Sarasota (they do all the Italian jobbers) bumped me from 228hp JCW TUNE (factory FLHP) to 300 (their FLHP) & Midnite Tuning (closer) swapped my DP 'cause Downstream aft. cat. tube was 2.5" too long throwin' lean #s. . MARIOKART'S gotta good S.S. DP. YES, I'm WATER\METHANOL INJECTED.Damn car runs from 30-120 like a top-fuel dragster - burys 160 speedo Stock Block won't go 55 !

 

From past posts / history here the Mario tunes have always been positive / no issues noted. Dinan now offers a DME reflash (ECU Tune) that I went with - I had the Dinan box and they offered anyone with that box the Stage 1 tune (I did 93 Octane) for free just ship them the DME. Gotta say have even real happy as is anyone that have gotten the tune. Not pushed to the max, and Mario likely will incorporate mods to the tune so you can eke out a bit more power…but I’m happy, very drivable, all safeguards still in place to protect engine but torque and HP big bump. Maybe down the road when I get a new clutch and WaveTrac (on my list of todos next few years)

 

yeh, Mariokart is a good man.& he's here in the states.

 

very happy with working with Lou.
