Bigfed I will tell you this, the ecu work was the only thing you would need to have a true expert do for you.All of the mods on my build are simple hotrod 101 stuff.

Alot of these forum buttdyno guys think building a engine is some sort of voodoo black magic but it is really simple stuff that most any competent engine builder can do.








:impat ient:

 

The engine bulding is easy.. sourcing the parts is the hard part.

On top of that the tuning solution you have given is generic w no info.


Just like many claims before you Glad you were the first one to do it though

 

What parts are hard to source? finding a true software engineer with knowledge of bmw/mini code was the most difficult part for me.

 

 

For a basic tune Rmw,cobb,way motorworks,Clint at defenders of speed and evolve are pretty good,but when you are building a bespoke engine you need to shake the bushes to find what you need.

 

No pics of the custom intercooler on the car? what mods were done to the JCW turbo?

 

A lot of us in the states would love to see your work. You can't just come on here and drop a bomb like that without pictures and data. We're all here to learn and share. DImagine the great feeling you would have teaching everyone the steps taken, lessons learned, and other steps along your journey Oh yea, the MINI is a real car

 

By real I meant income generating car.

Good feelings do not pay my bills ,pay my overhead and salary and I will be happy to post everything.

 

No pics needed just shake the bushes

 

Guess you are getting good at reading between the lines.as far as software goes look to the east of italy and austria.

 

Ok

 

So no pics of the custom intercooler?

 

I'm waiting for the line, "If I showed you pics, I'd have to kill ya!"

 

He'd show it to you, but then he'd have to kill you afterwards. It's a sooper-dee-dooper classified Russian secret...Why are we feeding this ego again?

 

nope would just lose a customer that pays well

 

Damn, grgramps beat me to it! Surprised we haven't heard it by now! We all know how those "contracts" are!

 

no ego here just protecting my business while trying to give as much advice as possible for FREE

 

lol good read

 

boys and girls everything is in black and white for you to read and do your OWN research.All you gotta do is find a reputable engine builder that has access to a quality machine shop then find a tuning solution.

The tuning should become easier as time goes by and demand goes up.

Until then you gotta pay to play or think and do it yourself.

 

But yet you had time to post that. I have to get this off my chest because I know I many people share my thoughts about the comments you've posted. You don't just come on NAM, say you've built an R56 to rule them all, and share no build details besides short blurbs because you're too busy working on Michael Schumacher's daily driver. It does NOTHING to help the MINI community or to help others along. If you have the "hot rodder" mentality you'd share your thoughts, lessons learned, and pictures of your R56. To me, it looks like you have a loner mentality. So if that's true, please get outta Dodge. Nonsense like this is what make NAM a kid's sandbox from a technical standpoint when compared to Motoring Alliance. One more reason to move on outta here... rant off

 

Everyone has their own opinion.

My opinion is that most people on nam want someone to hold their hand and do it for free.

Continue to purchase the Cai,boost tubes and catbacks sold here on nam in group buys and be happy with the marketing you have purchased.

I will help but will not give the milk away for free.

 

The "custom intercooler" probably isn't an intercooler at all.

Seriously guys, why get so worked up? Who really cares if this guy has a 300hp car or not?

Don't the challenge cars run around 300hp?

 

No they dont...


I just want to see fab work like with the manifold


Blah blah blah, This would only bring business to a shop that does this so no one wins in this case.

 

SO its your car then its your customers?
