This is a feeler for interest in this location for a tune. I missed last year and would love to get it done.

The area is near the casinos (I95 to New London, head north) if that helps.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Norwic...4,2.238464&z=9

Fees (just guessing for now) will probably be very similar to last year.

R53: $350.00 plus DYNO fee
R56: $600.00 Plus DYNO fee
The DYNO fee will be around but not over $100.00.

THESE ARE JUST AN ESTIMATE!

But even with a +/- factor they should be close.

Dates will be set to try to accommodate 100% of those interested and will be fine tuned as we know the number of participants.

So far, those interested are... Jan, Shawn (at the dyno shop) and me. Lets see who else will take a little trip.


1. HRM
2. Mr. Silverblood
3. MrCooperS
4. KanPhotography
5. HeavyMetal (going to Rochester instead...)
6. Onefish2
7. Achilless
8. Beullius
9. MiniBluCabrio
10.Geraldcaca
11. ///Mflossin
12. unexpectederror
13. project 2501

Possible Additions (depending on various things)

1. Chili Mini PA
2. gkp
3. Canuck
4. NH_MCS
5. ???

 

Oh hell yes, put me down.
I've added a few things since Jan tuned my car back in May, and I would absolutely want it to be retuned to take advantage of the new parts.

 

Me. And possibly another.

 

+1

 

Add me please in the list. I need a re-tune from Jan.

 

I may be interested in a re-tune as well.

 

I would be interested as well, its 4 and a half hours away but depending on the date i will be there!

 

With out a doubt the hands on RMW dyno tune is the very best tune available and money well spent!

Highly recommend it!!

 

I'd be on board too for a tune depending on the dates...!

 

Is there a possibility of installations being performed? Pulley? Catback? etc? Or is this a pure tune-only event?

 

You'd have to check with the garage hosting the tune. If it's Norwich, CT, that would most likely mean it would be at Swift Motorsports. They might be able to do an installation for you on the day of the tune. All depends on their scheduling that day.

 

I'm interested for sure.

 

I agree that it is very likely that installations will be possible. It is indeed planned to be at Swift, and they will have to answer the question, or Jan, or a mini buddy with tools and a thirst.

We have plenty of time to make this turn out great and if installs are a big thing, I don't see why wrenches can't be used while the dyno is doing it's thing for someone else. I was planning on upgrading my injectors, but didn't give it much thought as to how. It shouldn't be difficult and I will have some time to find out particulars in the near future as the questions are posted.

 

I have a set of JCW injectors i have been waiting to put on my car. I just have no reason to until i can get a tune

 

Funny you mentioned injectors. I was running 380's, and I wanted to get my 450's put in on dyno day. Swift said they couldn't accommodate me for an install, so I brought my own tools, and consulted as many DIY articles as I could on NAM.

When dyno/tune day came, I just changed them in the back parking lot with the help and assistance of some of the other folks getting tuned that day.
It was great, learned exactly what to do, and now I'm not afraid to change injectors on my own if need be.

 

As i found out that day it's not that hard to do. just want to wait and let the engine cool before doing it I will have to source out some jcw injectors myself

 

My planned upgrade is from 380cc to 450cc. The 380s I have are working fine and won't be needed by me (read cheap), just so you know.

 

Take off the "+1" for me. Kanman was my "+1"

 

sounds good keep me in mind

 

Last year, they installed my injectors on place just before the tune. So, they can do some installations amd check-ups after your tune if your car is running bad.

 

Hi HRM, would you happen to have the contact info for the shop where this event is being held? I'd like to find out if they would install a 15% pulley.

Thanks!

 

I spoke with Dan at Swift and he said they would be happy to do any work, or if someone is doing it themselves and they need a wrench, they are happy to lend something. It sounds like it will be real easy going and fun.

 

make sure you have a pulley puller when you go and a belt tensioner tool. Swift did not have these when they did my pulley. I had to get the tools then go back to have the pulley put in. not much fun when they are 1.5hrs one way from me they did a great job though and are a great bunch of guys there

 

Miniblucabrio,
How long did the pulley install take?

Thanks,

 

Doesnt take long if you have done it before, 1 hour roughly.

I have only done 3 different pulleys, i think i could do a mini in an hour.

Ill be there
