Roger that. Confirming I will be there Friday morning for the 8AM slot. This frees up my original 12:30PM Saturday slot for someone else.

Now, only three days to go! Just wanted to confirm I'll be there bright and bushy tailed Friday Morning

 

If any of you guys from the Great White North are in Rochester Thursday night, maybe we can meet up for dinner. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express on West Ridge about 2 miles from Eksten's.

Ray

 

I'll see you guys early Friday. Have a safe trip guys.

 

Right back at ya. Thanks for all the time and effort you spent setting this up!

Ray

 

Thanks everyone for getting back to me and to everyone who has work scheduled at Eksten. They are our local BMW and Porsche Club garage for all our car inspections and HPDE event garage help. They have a fine staff and do great work for all your needs.

Thanks everyone..............Let's have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Of course the Southern tune group is waiting for reports. Lets see some dynos..

 

Soooo?? How did it go so far???

 

Ok, I'LL break the ice. Not going to post the dynos but will report the facts.

First run : @4000 rpm - 124.3 hp 163.2 Torque

@5000 rpm - 152.2 hp 159.9 Torque

@6000 rpm - 168.9 hp 147.8 Torque

peak@6700 rpm - 176.4 hp 138.3 Torque

Jan magic + 3 runs

Fourth run: @ 4000 rpm - 133.6 hp 175.4 Torque

@ 5000 rpm - 165.0 hp 173.3 Torque

@ 6000 rpm - 185.6 hp 162.5 Torque

peak@ 6700 rpm - 189.5 hp 148.6 Torque

There you go! The torque curve power increase on the dyno 4th run kicks in around 3000 rpm with a solid 19 lbs. increase over base run.

Enjoy the numbers and the your dream numbers in your future

p.s. Great people all around thanks Marc at Eksten , Rick for supporting Michael S. who?

 

That's what is hard to describe to people, the torque is there for a long time and that is where the fun is.

 

Finally got my new clutch in and Jan is in NY with you guys!!!! I HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK FOR A TUNE!!!!!!!!

 

Costa
Can you please get to the dyno earlier. We hand a cancellation for the AM and would like the afternoon guys to show up earlier.
Thanks Larry

 

on my way

 

Actually posted this yesterday but apparently it didn't go through.

My 2009 JCW went from:

209 hp @t 5500 rpm and 220 lb/ft. @ 4300 rpm

to

222 hp @t 4900 rpm and 266 lb/ft. @ 3800 rpm

Nice improvement. Icing on the cake was I got 43.8 mpg on the 235 mile trip to Rochester and 46.8 mpg on the return leg after the tune. Air temps close to 50F each trip with same steady state speed and relatively flat terrain both ways.

Thanks to all!

Ray

 

Thanks again to Larry for organizing this event, and to Jan and Mike for jobs well done. An extra 20hp and 20tq never hurt anybody.....

Good job guys

 

Nice meeting you

 

Hey Guys

Thanks to everyone who came out for the tune session. I had a great time meeting everyone and had a great fun time. I kown a lot of you mentioned you can't get things done in Canada and you have a lot of friends who would get tunes. Get a list together or have your buds PM me and we'll get Jan back again later this year. Also remember Ekstens can take care of your install needs and maintenance. As you saw in their lot, they do a lot of BMW and Porsche race car prep and maintenance.

Thanks Jan for all the work and another great tune on my car.
251 Hp 199 Tq

Not bad for a car with Jan's head, race cam, race header and a stock GP pulley.

 

Saw the pics on the Eksten website. This car must belong to one of you guys and I was wondering what brand of wheels these are. I like them.

Thanks,
Jesse
