Has anyone downloaded there ecu info with other software already installed and sent to Franz? I have dinan s3 on my car and when I downloaded to send to franz I only had 1 large file(already checked for hidden files, none) I've been told by others I should have 2 files.

Thanks Mike

 

Werid..when Dinan updates the ecu do they do a flash or a piggyback ecu?

 

ECU flash over the stock. Not a piggy back chip, is what Mini told me.

Mike

 

why are you having the Dinan software retooled? Wasn't it pricy and keeps ur MCS under warranty?

 

Maybe Franz is better than Dinan.... lol

 

I want to see if franzes can go over it. I can always remove his and have dinan s5 loaded.

 

Thats what I want to know? I drove an 02 S which did just have the dinan S5 package installed I was impressed it had GRUNT and speed. The owner also has a 05 JCW and feels the 02 is quicker, have to drive his 05 to see for myself. My car is similar in mods to the dinan S5. I will do the dinan if franz can't make it work.

 

I'm sure Franz will be able to make you a nice ECU map for your mods

 

Back to the question

 

I asked the same thing months ago without a response. If anyone tried it, they didn't spill the beans.

 

Well then I'm just going to send it and see what happens.

Thanks

 

Have sent the file in three weeks ago. Haven't received anything back. Whats up.

 

Resend it. I've had to do that before.

Of course, I generally get both back within a few hours of each other...

 

I sent mine last Wednesday night and received my tune when I woke up on Thursday morning.

AWESOME

 

iam very intersted in this chip. Its raised a few eyebrows across the forums, now ive gotta plough through 19pages of this thread to see what the fuss is all about.

 

Most of the fuss surrounds the fact that people can't believe that for $75 you can the same performance that many pays 10x for. Oh and there is the part that Franz maximizes your engine based on 'theory' and not dyno results like most other ecu tuning. But for the price its the best $1 to hp ratio out there.

 

Very true!

MTH is the best ECU remap you can get for the price. It has lifetime upgrades, possibility to switch from stock to MTH and otherwise, as often as you want (Franz bypasses the 15 uploads counter)

Many of you are a bit afraid to bring your MINI with MTH loaded in the ECU... I've had MTH for a long time, and went to 3 different dealers with it. (Montreal, Brossard and Fort Lauderdale) All 3 dealers never saw MTH. Once, I had a check engine light for a thermostat error, and I had to go 3 times in a row to the dealer (Fort Lauderdale, a very good dealer btw!) and they NEVER noticed an ECU change...

Trust me, I've been to the dealers many many times while my MCS was still on warranty, and they never either erase or notice MTH.

Also, if you want the most power for the $$$ for your MCS, make sure to match MTH with a smaller pulley... This is a killer combo lol

 

I didn't know how good this was till I got my pulley last Saturday

 

lol you like the extra power and SC whine? (with the pulley)

 

As you'll find out when you read through...it's not a chip, simply a small software package you download/receive via email ($77 lifetime subscription to updates) and flash your car with, using a $100 cable.

I too have it loaded , went to the dealer last week for its first oil change and they didnt find it. i asked them not to flash my ecu , i was happy with it
so please dont upgrade it lol thanx franz

Actually, Franz will redo your MTH if you send him a Dyno chart w/ an A/F ratio. Also, his 'theory' is based on real world tuners (I beleive M7, and another place in Germany), so its not all smoke and mirrors.


Sensolutions sells the best cable for MTH, it costs the same (or less) than sasha's cable, works, and arrived next day air.

 

Thanks for the clarification MTH and Franz are great no doubt about it

 

The other company in German is Hartge. With v5, Franz has retarded timing, so I'm getting less burble from the Milltek exhaust, but more torque as registered from the butt dyno. I need to dyno again, after I get a chance to change the oil and filter.

 

What are you calling v5?
