Dimsport remote Tuning.

Look what I found in my office when I got back from AMVIV . And no I don't work for Jan. He can't pay me enough yet . I help him out on the shipping side of things as a friend.

RMW now has the ability to do remote tuning!! Yes, that means he can dyno tune a car any where in the world via the Internet. You will have to ask Jan what the cost is and I bet it won't be $350 but it sure will give a lot of people the chance to finally get one of his tunes.

Oh Ya, he also has the ability to emulate now .

possibly, but I don't think that's the intent.

I'll be first in line to do some more work on mine with this as soon as we sort out a few issues and also find a proper local dyno to work on (only one I know of is TurboXS and they won't let me on)

It would be great if he could do the tuning remotely at Helix.

I'm all in.

of course, but the issue is the dyno. Jan wants a DynaPak. If you know of one within an hour or two, please, let me know.

Emulation tuning allows the tuner to adjust values in realtime while the car is running on the dyno. This allows for much quicker tuning.

Jan uses flash tuning (Download the car's eprom, tweak it, and upload it to the ECU again before running the car on the dyno). I'm not aware of any company with the capability to tune the R53 (or R56 for that matter) on the dyno in real-time at this point in time.

Like others said, I don't think Jan envisioned selling "Canned" tunes like MTH and the like with this device, more than likely it's simply to facilitate dyno tuning remotely by having people run their car, send him the sheet, and allowing him to make some changes to the car afterwards.

It's possible he may have canned tunes planned though, he's the person to ask on that one .

No "Canned" tunes is correct. It isn't going to happen.

So all it involves is sending a dyno graph with the downloaded file, Jan working his magic, then uploading the Jan modified file to the ECU?

When speaking to Jan the other day he said the procedure would go something like this. You go find a dyno in your area, run your car up and send the info by E-mail or fax. Jan then works his magic, sends you back the new tune which is then uploaded to the ECU and presto you've got lift off.

it's really strange for someone who "doesn't have factory support" to get to buy more equipment directly from the factory.... we now have capability for most european cars all the way to Ferrari etc

strange..... I know

so much for the "haters"

So Jan, how much is this kit? And whoever buys this kit would have to pay extra for the tuning too? Also, for remote people like me, would I have to send you my ECU for the first time? Or could you do the base tune and later tunes remotely too?

So now that you have this, does that mean that we won't be seeing you up here in Fresno? I know its not Huntington Beach or anything, but Fresno is not that bad . I am going to try and call you today, hope that is ok.
